The scope of tender solution, which are
Entity 1 and Entity 2, belong to the part
of Savamala in Belgrade, which at the
same time represents the historical core
of this city. Historical segment was important
in the approach of solving the tender task.
The building of Railway station, which in the new
intended usage of space becomes the Building
of Historical Museum of Serbia, along with the
monumentof Stefan Nemanja as well as the
other important buildings which encircle the
Entity 1 were starting points in creating
a solution of the concept of this area.
The scope of the concept also involved
the Entity 2 which represents the place
of alternative culture with all segments
of history in shape of important buildings
in the observable surrounding sites.
The concept of solution involved both
entities, Entity 1 and Entity 2.
In the approach of solving the tender task,
both entities were considered together,
not separately, so that both entities
have a common concept which was
then further developed segment by
segment for Entity 1 and Entity 2.
Squares were historically places of
gathering of all citizens who tended to
move from the surrounding neighborhoods
toward these central parts. In the concept
of ”Novo Savski” Square and the Square at
the corner of “Karadjordjeva” and “Travnicka”
streets, SQUARE becomes the starting point.
Taking into consideration the complexity of
whole surrounding, Historical core of the city,
Belgrade Waterfront in the background,
Historical Museum of Serbia along with the
monument of Stefan Nemanja, as well as the
modern context originating from historical
narratives, idea was born to make Novo Savski
Square a nucleus, the place from where the new
idea of Belgrade starts to spread.
Design of the square was completed in only one
elevation because of the high frequency of visitors
and any change in elevation of the site was
avoided in order to provide easier access to
all categories of people and improve accessibility.
