Three Squares
Competition Entry
Belgrade, Serbia
Urban Design
2015
In collaboration with :
Igor Pantic, Gilles Retsin and Isaie Bloch
The competition brief asked for the redevelopment of three main squares in Belgrade (Serbia); the Parliament Square, Republic Square and Nikola Pasic square. The proposal redefines the three squares, developing a unique character and rich differentiation in the city center, while maintaining an overall coherence. The identity of the squares is reinforced, and sometimes slightly twisted to offer new insights in the urban fabric of Belgrade. At the base of the concept is the idea of squares or public spaces as clearly defined figures or objects within a city fabric. The current situation is one of fragmentation, where squares are diffused and have a distorted figure, often cluttered and scattered with randomly distributed objects.
