Abstract
Cooperative movement in architecture was an important professional initiative launched after WW II in order to assure professional autonomy of practising architects. By addressing the real issues of working and doing business in architectural profession, the Architect paved the way for architects to achieve greater freedom. It thus played a crucial role as a catalyst for much needed independence of architectural profession in the former Yugoslavia. This article for the first time reveals the establishment and activities of the cooperative Architect whose effects are assessed in a wider social and political context of post-war architectural profession.
