The buildings of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia in Skopje, Zagreb and Belgrade form a corpus of socialist modernist architecture in which spatial organisation structured political authority across diverse urban contexts. Developed within a shared modernist framework, they articulated governance through controlled access and hierarchical circulation. Their post-socialist transformations reveal divergent trajectories, from ideological rebranding and institutional continuity to commercial reconfiguration. The study assumes that ideological change is registered primarily through shifts in spatial organisation rather than symbolic substitution. Despite differing interventions, the original spatial diagrams remain operative, rendering political transition architecturally legible.
