In the 1950s, art slowly transformed to a more abstract outlook, based on industrial and economic motives. The first to do so was sculptor "Mirko Ostoja" who replaced classical modeling with iron welding. Even the Communist State changed its feeling toward modern art by commissioning large abstract monuments dedicated to famous battles in The War (Sutjeska, Kozara, Makljen etc.). Young architects gathered around professor "Juraj Neidhardt", and were trying to connect modern architecture with B&H tradition and surroundings. The result were buildings like The Mostar Mall,"“Razvitak”" ,in 1970 by "A. Paljaga" or "Jajce Mall" in 1976 by "R. Jadrić, Dž. Karić and N. Kurto".
