On 26th of July 1963, one of the worst dates in the history of Skopje, an
earthquake struck the city at 5:17am. Almost 75% of the buildings in the city disappeared in just
a few seconds. After that, the big rebuilding project began, trying to make Skopje the
model city of the socialist world. The plan was drawn by the Japanese architect Kenzo
