Živko Popovski

Živko Popovski (alternative spellings: Zivko, Zhivko, 1934–2007) was the most prominent Macedonian architect after the Second World War. He was a professor at the Architectural Faculty in Skopje. He worked with Dutch architects and CIAM alumni Jo_van_den_Broek and Jaap Bakema. His most famous works are the Skopje Shopping Center (GTC), Pensioner's Home in Ohrid, and the reconstructed Culture Center "Grigor Prlichev" in Ohrid.^[1]

The City Commercial Center Building(known as by the acronym GTC), also known as the Skopje Shopping centre, connects the two core aspects of Kenzo Tange's earthquake reconstruction Plan for Skopje): the City Gate and the City Wall. The building is both Modernist and Brutalist, while simultaneously encapsulating the idea of a traditional city bazar.^[2]
