Georgi Konstantinovski (29 July 1930 – 8 December 2020) was a Macedonian architect, writer and educator. He graduated from the SS Cyril and Methodius University, Faculty of Architecture in Skopje in 1956 and received his Master of Architecture Degree from Yale University, under the mentorship of Paul Rudolph and Serge Chermayeff, in 1965.[1] His early works are stylistically considered Brutalist.[2] In New York City, he worked and collaborated with I. M. Pei, Henry Cobb Jr., and Araldo Cossutta.[3]
In his search for design features that reflect the individual philosophy, structure, and art of each building, Konstantinovski designed more than 450 architectural and urban projects.[1] He was awarded the highest Macedonian and Yugoslav architectural awards, such as the highest National Award for Art "11 Oktomvri" for Best Architectural Achievement in Skopje, in addition to three Grand Prix on the Architectural Biennale in Macedonia. He further contributed to contemporary Macedonian architecture as an educator and writer. He was President of the Council for Urban Planning and Dean of the Faculty of Architecture in Skopje,[3] and a member of the Architectural Academy of Macedonia.
Konstantinovski was an important contributor to contemporary Macedonian architecture. Some of his most renowned buildings are the City Archive in Skopje, the Student's Dormitories "Goce Delcev",[4] the Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology, the ASNOM Memorial Center, and the Memorial House of Razlovci Uprising.
Konstantinovski died on 8 December 2020, at the age of 90.[5]
