Overview

You'll have a close up on 5 exemplary buildings of Yugoslav socialist architecture, with the art historian guide who grew up in a brutalist block. In 2.5 hours you'll understand 50 years of Yugoslavian utopia.

You’ll discover the buildings for the socialist elites, buildings for socialist business, buildings to impress the Non Aligned comrades and public housing blocks for the classless society: Museum of Contemporary Art, Palace of Federation, Genex Tower, Block 23 and Sava Center.

You'll see how and why the architecture changed from the Soviet-like to modernism to brutalism.

This architecture, gaining international recognition from institutions such as MoMA and Venice Biennale, will tell you about the Socialist Yugoslav values of equality, unity and fraternity, its unique politics of Third Way and its ambition to produce and build everything the Western society could.

The guide will share own experience of living in Yugoslavia during the golden 1980ies and gloomy 1990ies.

    You’ll have a close up of Genex Tower, aka Western City Gate of Belgrade, a 30 floor structure that has won instagrams and hearts of many Belgrade visitors.

The apartment buildings, school, the kindergarten, the sport courts, the mini shopping mall. You’ll hear the guide's personal stories of life in the blocks in their golden decades of 60s, 70s and 80s. And the stories of living not so great in 90s.
