Stara Zagora, Central Bulgaria, February 4 (BTA/GNA) – The traveling exhibition “The Architect’s Madame” will celebrate its 90th anniversary on Saturday at the Stara Zagora City Art Gallery. On the eve of the anniversary, gallery director Katya Gineva said. Djurkovska told BTA.
“This building is called Stara Zagora Market Hall and it was inaugurated on February 4, 1934,” she said.
The exhibition showcases the work of Bulgarian female architects from the first half of the 20th century. This modified version shows the city with buildings designed by female architects.
Visitors can see 17 panels containing documents, drawings, plans, multimedia and portraits of women who contributed to Bulgarian architecture. “Residents of Stara Zagora will probably be most interested in the portrait of Elena Varakadzhieva-Skordeva, who was part of the architectural design team,” said Gineva-Gyurkovska.
“When the competition for the architectural design of the building began, several teams participated. The leader of one of the teams was Elena Varakadzhieva-Skordeva,” she explain.
Following the opening of the exhibition, a lecture by Teodor Karakolev, one of the founders of the Bulgarian Modernist Architecture Foundation, will provide information on the life of Varakadzhieva-Skordeva for more details.
The exhibition is organized by the Goethe-Institut Bulgaria and the Bulgarian Foundation for Modernist Architecture.
