SKOPJE






ILIJA MIRCHESKI



BELGRADE IS THE CITY OF A VERY TUMULTUOUS HISTORY - ONE OF THE OLDEST CITIES IN EUROPE. ITS HISTORY IS LASTING FOR MORE THAN 7,000 YEARS. THE AREA AROUND TWO GREAT RIVERS, THE SAVA AND THE DANUBE HAS

BEEN INHABITED AS EARLY AS IN A PALEOLITHIC PERIOD. ITS GEOGRAPHIC ALLOCATION DETERMINED BELGRADE AS AN IMPORTANT STRATEGIC POINT AT THE CROSS-ROAD BETWEEN EUROPE AND ASIA AND A MEETING POINT OF

EASTERN AND WESTERN CIVILIZATIONS. IN ITS HISTORY BELGRADE WAS DESTROYED AND REBUILT MORE THAN40 TIMES. BUT BELGRADE ALSO HAD PROSPEROUS AND PEACEFUL PERIODS, WITH BOOMING ECONOMY, WHEN IT

ATTRACTED PEOPLE TO LIVE IN THE CITY AND AROUND.

BELGRADE

KOSANČIĆEV VENACKOSANČIĆEV VENAC IS THE HEART OF CIVIL BELGRADE. WE MEET MANY HISTORICAL LAYERS OF ROMAN SITES,TO THE NATIONAL LIBRARY. SOME OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BUILDINGS OF THE CITY IS FOUND IN THIS AREA.

THE AREA IS IMPORTANT FOR THE CULTURE, AND IT DID, AND NATIONAL IDENTITY OF THISCOUNTRY / STATE / NATION.

WISHING TO BE CLOSER TO THE CATHEDRAL AND AS A COUNTERWEIGHT TO TURKISH FORTIFICATIONSON THE DANUBE BANK, SERBS CREATED THIS SETTLEMENT IN THE FIRST PART OF THE 19TH CENTURY.

HOWEVER, KOSANČIĆEV VENAC STARTED TO BECOME MORE ORGANIZED SETTLEMENT A COUPLE OF DECADES LATER, AFTER TURKS HAVE LEFT BELGRADE. AT FIRST HOUSES WERE BUILT AROUND CATHEDRAL, BUT LATER AREA STARTED

TO SPREAD MORE AND MORE. IN THE 19TH CENTURY, KOSANČIĆEV VENAC WAS SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND COMMERCIALCENTER OF BELGRADE.ALTHOUGH IT STANDS ONLY AS A WITNESS OF THE OLD DAYS AND A MONUMENT OF

CULTURE TODAY, IT HAS NEVER LOST POPULARITY AMONG OLD BELGRADIANS.

AREA AND THE STREET KOSANČIĆEV VENAC WERE NAMED AFTER SERBIAN EPIC HERO IVAN KOSANČIĆ.ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL OF ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL WAS AND STILL IS CENTER OF KOSANČIĆ.

THIS CHURCH BUILT IN 1840 STILL REMAINS A PLACE OF WORSHIP. NEXT TO THE CATHEDRAL STANDSTHE OLDEST KAFANA IN BELGRADE CALLED "?" OR QUESTION MARK. OPPOSITE TO KAFANA STANDS

RESIDENCE OF PRINCESS LJUBICA, ONCE HOME OF THE FIRST LADY OF SERBIA AND A MUSEUM TODAY.ONE OF THE SYMBOLS OF KOSANČIĆEV VENAC IS REMAINS OF NATIONAL LIBRARY THAT WAS BURNT DURINGGERMAN BOMBING OF BELGRADE IN 1941. DURING THAT FIRE, WITHIN SECONDS DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY

WRITTEN CULTURE OF SERBS. ON OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLES OF ART NOUVEAU IN KOSANČIĆ ISHOUSE OF MIHAJLO PETROVIĆ ALAS, FAMOUS SERBIAN MATHEMATICIAN.

STREET TYPOLOGY

MAIN ROADS, CONNECTORS

PASSES THROUGH THIS AREA KARAĐORĐEVA STREET, WHICH IS VERY BUSY DURING THE DAY , AND SERVES AS THE ONLY LINK TO THE MOTORWAY , WITH WAREHOUSES AND INDUSTRIAL

ZONE ON DORĆOLSKA COAST. PART OF THE TRAFFIC GOES AROUND THE ENTIRE POLYGON KARAĐORĐEVE AND CONTINUES TO BRANKO'S BRIDGE , A MOVE FROM PARIS TO BRANKO'S

BRIDGE IS ALSO IMPORTANT TRAFFIC VEINS.

RELATIONS

KOSANCICEV VENAC IS A PART OF BELGRADE, BORDERED BY KNEZ MIHAJLOVA STREET, KALEMEGDAN, THE SAVA RIVER AND BRANKOVA STREET.

AFTER YOU TURN LEFT FROM THE CROWDED AND POPULAR KNEZ MIHAILOVA STREET, YOU’LL ENTER A QUIET PART OF THE CITY CENTER, NOT YET KNOWN TO

TOURISTS, WITH THE COBBLESTONE STREETS AND OLD BUILDINGS THAT BEAR THE HALLMARKS OF THE OLD EPOCHS, THE HALLMARKS THAT NEVER CHANGED.

PART OF BELGRADE THAT IS FULL OF THE SPIRIT OF OLD BELGRADE MORE THAN ANY OTHER PLACE. UPON THE VERY ENTERING THE STREET YOU START FEELING LIKE A

TRUE POET – YOU’RE GONNA WISH TO SIT IN SOME OF THE CUTE CAFÉ’S, READ AN OLD BOOK AND WATCH THE FOG RISING ABOVE SAVA AND NEW BELGRADE.

CURRENT SITUATION

BELGRADE WATERFRONT

THE IDEA OF RELOCATING THE RAILWAY STATION AND MAKING THE WATERFRONT A PART OF THE VITAL URBAN FABRIC HAS BEEN IN BELGRADE’S URBAN PLANS SINCE 1923. EVER SINCE THE RIVERS

CEASED TO BE STATE BORDERS, BELGRADE HAS BEEN ON AND OFF DREAMING OF “GETTING DOWN TO ITS RIVERS”. IN THE PREVIOUS DECADES THIS HAS SERVED WELL AS AN ELECTION

CAMPAIGN MANTRA, REPEATED IN VARIOUS FORMS OF GRANDIOSE URBAN PROJECTS GUIDED BY POLITICAL PARTIES. THIS TIME, THE NOVELTY WAS THE SCALE AND SCOPE OF THE VISION.

KOSANČIĆEV VENAC INTERVENTIONS

A COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE COBBLESTONES AND ASPHALT. THERE WILL BE A NEW AVENUE, AS WELL AS THE AREA AROUND THE FORMER NATIONAL LIBRARY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IN KOSANČIĆEV CROWN BUILD A TOWN GALLERY, THE TOWN WHERE TODAY THERE IS AN ABANDONED SHACK. THE GOAL IS TO CONNECT WITH THAT PLACE KOSANČIĆEV WREATH WITH DUNGEONS, RESPECTIVELY, KARADJORDJEVA STREET AND SAVA PROMENADE
