Arquitetura de Nova Belgrado - Brutalismo Decodificado
Descrição
Você terá um close-up em 5 edifícios exemplares da arquitetura socialista iugoslava: Museu de Arte Contemporânea, Palácio da Federação, Torre Genex, Bloco 23 e Sava Center. Você vai descobrir os edifícios para as elites socialistas, edifícios para os negócios socialistas, edifícios para impressionar os camaradas não alinhados e blocos de habitação pública para a sociedade sem classes. Você verá como e por que a arquitetura mudou do tipo soviético para o modernismo para o brutalismo. Em duas horas você entenderá 50 anos de utopia iugoslava. Esta arquitetura, que ganhou reconhecimento internacional nos últimos anos de instituições como o MoMA e a Bienal de Veneza, contará a história da Iugoslávia: seus valores de igualdade, unidade e fraternidade e sua ambição de produzir e construir tudo o que a sociedade ocidental poderia. Os edifícios virão à vida enquanto o seu Guia historiador de arte lhe contará sobre experiências pessoais vividas nos blocos de habitação durante os anos 80 e 90.

Itinerário
Você encontrará o guia em frente ao Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Ušće. Você explorará seus volumes modernistas da década de 1960 e descobrirá por que suas preciosas fachadas de mármore contradizem as expectativas estereotipadas da arquitetura socialista.
Este é o nosso ponto de contato com o Movimento dos Não Alinhados de 120 países. Foi fundada em 1961 em Belgrado, quando os chefes de Estado plantaram as árvores no parque como símbolo da paz.
Em seguida, dirigiremos pelo enorme Prédio do Governo, um monumento revelador de uma fase anterior da política da União Européia Ocidental, um edifício que sofreu a mudança de Stalin enquanto estava em construção.
Você terá um close da Genex Tower, também conhecida como Western City Gate of Belgrade, uma estrutura de 30 andares que conquistou instagrams e corações de muitos visitantes de Belgrado. Construído há 40 anos, foi o primeiro edifício inteligente nos Bálcãs e entrou nas análises internacionais de arquitetura como um bom exemplo de brutalismo.
Sua parada final é um gigantesco centro de congressos, construído no final da década de 1970 em tempos recordes. Foi o primeiro edifício desse tipo nesta parte da Europa. Ele ainda está funcionando e inclui algumas soluções interiores surpreendentemente bem projetadas que parecem frescas mesmo depois de 40 anos.
Dentro do bloco n. 23, o projeto habitacional mais representativo, novamente em estilo de expressionismo concreto, você descobrirá o conceito que proporcionou tudo para os habitantes. Os prédios de apartamentos, a escola, o jardim de infância, as quadras esportivas, o mini shopping. Você ouvirá as histórias pessoais de vida do guia nos blocos nas décadas douradas dos anos 60, 70 e 80. E as histórias de viver não são tão boas nos anos 90.

So i visited Belgrade this January and coming from a post-soviet country myself i was really igor to find out more about brutalist architecture they have there. Ksenja is the best guide u could ever find. she’s charming, very interesting and easygoing! the excursion was amazing! we got to find out a lot of interesting facts about all the buildings and monuments, moreover Ksenja doesn’t bore you with all the stuff like “this was built in the year…” - so you have to memorize all those dates, she tells you stories of those buildings and of the people who lived in them! Nonetheless if you get tired - you can do a snack-stop in some wonderful places Ksenja is going to recommend! So overall this was a 10/10 wonderful experience! Ksenja, thank you so much!
I am so glad the tour proved interesting to you! Many heartfelt thanks for you compliments on my style of guiding. Plus, thank you for sharing the interesting stories of Soviet architecture. That was a treat indeed! We hope to see you in Belgrade again!
This was an incredible experience! Ksenia explained everything while we discovered the New Belgrade. she told me all about brutalism and life in the Socialist times of Yugoslavia, it was super informative and she also made it incredibly fun. Definitely a must do while in Belgrade. 10 out of 10!
Thank you so much for your kind words and enthusiasm! We hope to see you again.
The tour gave us an excellent overview of the socialist architecture and the city's landmarks of the era. The guide Ksenija was excellent in putting the architecture in a wider context. I loved her personal stories of growing up in New Belgrade during the last decade of the communist Yugoslavia. Something quite unique!
Thank you for being such a curious guest. We enjoyed the conversation!
It really was a true discovery! We imagined the communist architecture differently. We were surprised to see a primary school with modernistic shapes in red brick, with a swimming pool! Genex Tower is absolutely worth seeing, like a spaceship, such a remarkable structure. Ksenija was super friendly and engaging, adding an interesting personal commentary on the architecture and life in Yugoslavia.
It was a pleasure having you on the tour! Keep that discovery mode on. Thank you for being a great guest.
I booked this tour for my friends from the US and joined myself. For them it was genuine discovery, for me it was a reminder how things once were. Ksenija is an excellent guide, capable of pointing to the interesting angles beyond architecture
Thank you very much for trusting us and joining the tour! It is always a pleasure and honor to be trusted by the locals hosting friends from abroad.
Ksenija was amazing, the tour was very informative even for native Belgrade citizens. We went on the tour because we love brutalisam and had a blast. One of my friends was visiting from abroad, and she enjoyed the tour as well because Ksenija explained everything in fluent English. Super thankful and a big recommendation for anyone who is interested in storytelling from someone with a lot of experience!
Dear Maja, Thank you very much for your trust, time and energy! I enjoyed having the three of you on the tour.
The architecture tour was brilliant, I highly recommend. I booked this private tour to do on my own with Kesenija who took good care of me, a very knowledgable guide who will answer any questions in depth and guide you through Belgrades brutalist landmarks. A valuable experience!
Thank you very much, Finty! I'm so glad we did the tour together and had a good conversation. Hope to see you in Belgrade again!
Myself being a Belgrade native, I thought I knew this city all too well. Realising I did not in fact know these parts of New Belgrade, I felt curious and so I decided to book this tour. The tour exceeded my expectations and made me want to walk around New Belgrade more often. This is great both for tourist and us, fellow Belgradians. Time well spent.
Hi Mili, thank you for being a curios local. Whether a traveler or a local, we believe a good conversation over architecture is a winner. Looking forward to seeing you again,
I chose this tour to show a little bit of Belgrade to my foreign friends another side of this large city, apart from the city centre. I am from Serbia but I am not from Belgrade so this was a new experience for me as well. I was thrilled to be a part of this fun group and my Slovenian friend complemented me on what a great choice it was to try this tour. Try it out when you get the chance!
Thank you, Isidora! We're glad your guests loved the architectural tour and you were able to discover more of Belgrade with them.
Typically I am not a fan of the more recent approaches in architecture - however, I have always been drawn towards New Belgrade block and I just wanted to know more. The tour guides came up with a great concept here and were very interesting to listen to. Walk aside Danube is simply perfect. My personal favourite is the Genex tower - hope it will be reconstructed and kept well. Please take your time to visit New Belgrade and I hope my take will inspire you.
Dear Filip, thank you for complimenting us after being skeptical at first. This is what makes our work gratifying - the joy of discovery!
