What is curious about the architectural history of the small town of Loznitsa located in northeastern Bulgaria, which was one of the case studies in the TOTALPROEKT exhibition?

The Architecture Waking Tour in Loznitsa was a follow-up event of TOTALPROJEKT. This town’s public buildings and spaces designed by the local architect Stoyko Donchev were one of the six case studies creating the ideal city of the invisible architecture of modernity presented in the exhibition. They turned out to be most unknown to the wider audience as well.

The walking tour included a brief presentation on Stoyko Donchev, how his work sits in the local and global context and what the regional particularities of Loznitsa are – birth place of Pencho Kubadinski, one of the strongest figures of the Bulgarian Communist Party nomenklatura before 1989. The walk started at the House of Culture and continued with a tour around the main buildings defining the public space – the hotel, the municipality, the health centre, the former headquarters of the Communist Party, the bus station and cinema.
