The authors analyse temporary constructions erected for national and international exhibitions in the 19th and 20th centuries presenting Polish, Czechoslovak, Hungarian, Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian-Herzegovinian, Yugoslav, Romanian, Russian cases. In the papers the pavilions are considered hubs of architectural and artistic trends, political visions of this culturally heterogeneous territory. The papers demonstrate the complex political, cultural, social, economic and urban context in which the exhibition architecture was created. The complexity of the hitherto less known Central-Eastern European exhibition architecture is demonstrated not only by the variety of cases analyzed, but also by the diversity of scholarly approaches applied. In the 19th century pavilions and exhibition galleries were powerful means for nation building and mass entertainment, as well as they provided a "magic frame" for the latest technological and cultural achievements. In 20th century ephemeral constructions were often appropriated and utilized by the changing political regimes for power demonstration or for signifying their role as flagships of modernism.

The bridge was constructed at its original location in 1867, but due to its prefabricated structure and particular type of hinges it was possible to take the bridge completely apart and to reconstruct it at two other locations in 1932 and 2011.Die Gelenke der Radetzkybrücke in Leibach. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt die Radetzkybrücke (Hradecky Brücke) über den Fluss Ljubljanica und die in ihrem Dreigelenkbogen verwendeten Gelenke. Die Brücke wurde an ihrem ursprünglichen Standort im Jahre 1867 errichtet. Wegen ihrer vorgefertigten Struktur und der besonderen Art von Gelenken war es möglich, die Brücke komplett auseinander zu nehmen und sie an zwei weiteren Standorten in den Jahren 1932 und 2011 zu rekonstruieren.

Diese Bruecke ist wahrscheinlich die aelteste noch in Betrieb befindliche Dreigelenkbogenbruecke. Sie verband urspruenglich zwei mittelalterliche Stadtbezirke von Ljubljana (Leibach). Nach 63 Jahren unter Betrieb wurde sie dort demontiert und 2 Kilometer flussabwaerts wieder aufgebaut. Dies war nur moeglich, da die Bruecke aus vorgefertigten Gusseisenteilen und Gelenken besteht. Im Jahre 2010 erfolgte erneut eine Demontage und ein Neuaufbau an einer Stelle etwa 450 Meter flussaufwaerts vom urspruenglichen Standort. Die Bruecke besteht aus Gusseisen mit einer Bogenspannweite von 30,4 Metern und einer Bogenhoehe von 2,2 Metern. Gelenke befinden sich an den Uebergaengen zu den Widerlagern und im Scheitelpunkt. In Brueckenlaengsrichtung sind sechs identische, vorgefertigte Haupttraeger angeordnet. Das Scheitelgelenk wurde als sogenanntes Scharnierbolzen-Gelenk ausgefuehrt. ...

To clarify the architectural circumstances of great exhibitions the paper starts with a brief overview of the history of World's Fairs. The core of the paper starts with a section containing four case studies, each of them representing one pavilion, designed by a Yugoslav architect. An analysis of the selected case studies is made from the historical perspective with the emphasis on the architect's point of view. National pavilions of guest countries are still prevailing in recent World Expositions. They are usually planned and designed by the architects of a certain country, since each country wants to show its own priorities on lifestyle, industry, technology, and art. The discussion shows the influence of World Exposition pavilions on contemporary architecture, and the characteristics of archite...

Opisane so priprave na razstavo, natecaj za projekt stavbe in predlogi, predstavljen je Paxtonov predlog in gradnja v Hyde Parku. Posebno je poudarjeno vgrajevanje lesenih elementov. Dokazana je trditev, da je Kristalna palaca zgrajena tudi iz lesa. "Veliko razstavo industrijskih izdelkov vseh narodov" so odprli 1. maja 1851 in zaprli 15. oktobra 1851, nato so palaco razstavili, jo ponovno sestavili in odprli leta 1854 v Sydenhamu. Kristalna palaca je arhitekturno in konstrukcijsko pomemben clen k moderni arhitekturi, le malokdo pa ve, da so pri gradnji poleg železa in stekla uporabili veliko kolicino lesa.

The paper provides a historical overview of architecturally most attractive inverted umbrella HP structures made out of reinforced concrete. It starts in the second quarter of the 20th century with the world’s oldest umbrella structures, designed by three pioneers: F. Aimond, A. Williams and K. Hruban. The most notable master in designing was F. Candela, as he constructed a number of this structures in Mexico between 1953-68. During the 1960s this form became widely used all over the Western world but suddenly disappear after 1975. The results of the paper are presented in three figures where the inverted umbrella HP RC shells are analysed according to several criteria (number of built elements, roof dimensions with shapes, use of the structures in relationship to year of completion). The similarities and differences between elements of the analysed buildings are compa...

It analyzes exhibition preparations and architectural competition requirements. Three most interesting competition entries are presented as well as a drawing by Joseph Paxton which later served as a basis for its construction. As soon as the exhibition was closed, the Palace was disassembled and reassembled on another location according to new drawings. The discussion part centres on the significance of the architectural competition, prefabricated structures, architecture and the influence of the Crystal Palace.
