Belgrade: Space architecture tour - brutalist architecture｜Serbia

This is the tour where architecture lovers can enjoy the architecture of brutalism and structuralism, that was mostly shaped by ideology of former Yugoslavia.

Get to know architecture of Social Communist times built to represent power of newly created Yugoslavia. Take a look over the Belgrade from observation deck of Avala Telecommunication Tower placed on Belgrade’s tallest mountain. Destroyed during the NATO bombing in 1999, it rose from the ruins in 2010. Cross the Ada Bridge over the Sava River. The bridge, whose construction was shown on the Discovery Channel, is the biggest single-pylon bridge in Europe. Pass through the gates of Belgrade: the Western Gate, the Genex twin towers connected by a bridge on the 26th floor, and the Eastern Gate, the Rudo buildings, both built in the Brutalist style. You’ll see the “Sava” Center, the project built for the needs of the Conference on European Security and Cooperation held in Belgrade in 1977, that was first and biggest conference center in former Yugoslavia. Here you can examine structural design of polyhedral buildings of this huge complex. You’ll stand in front of the Palace of Serbia, ex Federal Executive Council, spectacular building of late modernism that shows how design can represent the ruling ideology. Enormous but elegant structure was the first project of New Belgrade after the WwII.
