This publication emerged from the reading and discussion group titled “WE READ: GTC AS A BOOK” which happened on 29th of November 2014 in the Youth Cultural Center in Skopje, as part of the ongoing project LIVING LIBRARIES: archives of citizen disobedience (https://zivibiblioteki.wordpress.com/).
 
The book is  partly transcript from that meeting whose aim was to read Skopje Shopping Center (GTC) in Skopje. 111 thesis about GTC is a book created by experts’ thoughts about the significance of this object set in 11 thesis made by 11 renown thinkers of the contemporary architectural scene in Macedonia (two jointly wrote 11 thesis) and is edited with the help of all participants and the moderator of the discussion.
By reading this building we publicly tried anew to underline, review and offer protection to its doubtless cultural, societal and artistic meaning which in the last years in put under a threat to be erased, literally and physically from the Macedonian culture with the intention of almost barbaric covering with “baroque” facade (the general style of the infamous governmental plan Skopje 2014). Starting from here, the reading of GTC as a book in an attempt to revive its above all societal and artistic value.The title 111 thesis about GTC is a direct reference of the book 111 thesis about architecture by Boris Cipan and an symbolic act reminding us about some values which are forgotten not only naturally with time but are deliberately erased by recovering facades with new, unknown and eclectic styles without any artistic value.
