The Moderne movement which was dominant architectonic movement in Europe after the world war I, quickly gained followers in Serbia, and thus in Nis, both the architects and investors, because of its functionality and building cost-efficiency. The representative housing buildings in Nis, which were designed in the spirit of the Moderne, exhibit some aspects of development of these structures, that is, influences of the preceding styles and an inherited building model on the formation of Serbian, that is, Nis Moderne and its significance for the development of the city of Nis in the later period.

NAJZNAČAJNIJI OBJEKTI VIŠEPORODIČNOG STANOVANJA MODERNE U NIŠU 1920 - 1941.
U ovom radu su prikazani objekti višeporodičnog stanovanja koji su projektovani i izvedeni u duhu pokreta Moderna u periodu između dva svetska rata, tačnije od 1920 – 1941. u Nišu. Pokret Moderne koji je bio dominantan arhitektonski pravac u Evropi u decenijama iza prvog svetskog rata, brzo je stekao pobornike Srbiji pa samim tim i u Nišu, kako kod arhitekata tako i kod investitora, zbog svoje fukcionalnosti i ekonomičnosti gradnje. Na reprezentativnim predstavnicima stambenih zgrada u Nišu koji su projektovani u duhu Moderne, ukazuje na neke aspekte razvoja tih objekata, odnosno uticaja predhodnih stilova i nasleđenog obrasca gradnje na formiranje srpske, odnosno niške Moderne i njen značaj za ravoj Grada Niša u kasnijim periodima.
