On the Example of Belgrade Waterfront Project Supervisor: Friedrich Kuhlmann, Dipl. Ing. Place and date: Tartu, 01.06.2020 Abstract “The city is always a collective. Belgrade today is no longer a collective, but an amorphous mass of outcast individuals guided by their passions and cheap interests.” (Bosiljčić, 1998) The aim of the thesis is to define the approach for analysing the impacts of the Belgrade Waterfront megaproject on the landscape and to emphasize the necessity of the analysis implementation in the beginning of the planning process. For the base of the research, several sources of relevant literature were selected, which deal with risks of megaprojects, landscape processes and transformation, systems theory and thick description. The idea of the analysis approach is to observe the landscape from three different perspectives, and using mapping method to analyse the natural processes of the site, examples of planning competitions from the XX century in Belgrade and critique of the Belgrade Waterfront project by the experts and activists. The results of the analysis led to the comprehension of the landscape complexity and transformation, past planning experiences, and planning process and decision-making process of the Belgrade Waterfront project. The superimposition of the final outcomes formed a constructive critique which could be widely implemented to other megaprojects that take place by the river. Keywords: megaprojects, Belgrade Waterfront, Sava Amphitheatre, sociocultural landscape, landscape processes Acknowledgements I would first of all like to thank my supervisor Fredrich Kuhlmann for his support, dedication and inspiring guidelines. I would like to thank Dragana Ćorović for her great tips that helped me to approach the topic from a different perspective. Also, I want to thank EMU staff and teachers for their dedication during this study program.

At that time, the plan of the project still didn’t exist and the model itself didn’t offer enough information. It seemed that this unknown formation just

ID BROJ: 172311820 URBAN REGULARISATION OF BELGRADE, 1867: TRACE vs. ERASURE A B S T R A C T A gradual urban transformation of Belgrade from Oriental into Occidental city in the nineteenth century in a way prefigured its political change of status from an Ottoman Empire border town into a capital of a European nation state (i.e. the Principality of Serbia internationally recognised in 1878). This paper will explore this process, and will focus on the analysis of the plan of regularisation of Belgrade (1867), by Emilijan Josimović, the first Serbian urbanist. Josimović’s plan laid down proposals for a total reconstruction of the Ottoman urban structure, and consequent transformation of Belgrade into European planned city. Radical though it was, the Plan gave urbanistic rationale and formalisation to what already lasted as an informal process of re-urbanisation parallel to the liberation from the crumbling Turkish rule and the related political processes. Ljiljana Blagojević 27 University of Belgrade - Faculty of Architecture S A J _ 2009 _ 1 _ Belgrade’s position at the confluence of the river Sava into the Danube, is marked historically by the condition of constantly shifting borders of divided and conflicting empires. The river Sava marked a geographical and political borderline from the fourth century division of the Roman Empire into the Eastern and Western Empires, until the mid-twentieth century Third Reich’s remapping of Europe.

On the night before our wedding, the lobby bar of the Square Nine hotel was bathed in a marmalade lamplight, as if time were suspended. I still recall the bear hugs of my arriving friends, coats slapped, hands warmed with foam-clouded hot chocolates; the glorious mayhem that followed. Later that evening, at the Tri Sešira, a 19th-century tavern in bohemian Skadarlija, wooden boards descended as if from the air, piled high with mountain cheeses, kajmak (the love child of butter and clotted cream) and processional meats with dense cuts of pork and lamb. The home-cooked scents wrapped themselves around us, as did a ragtag of gypsy musicians, ever more raucous, on beaten-up accordions and guitars. The Serbian capital isn’t a showstopper; it didn’t grab me by the heartstrings the first time I arrived here as a reporter 15 years ago. But over years of returning, the things that failed to charm me before – things I simply couldn’t understand – now make me wonder how I ever lived without them.

Основна претпоставка заснивала се на очекивањима да ће се установити непосредна повезаност гимнастичког и соколског система вежбања са спортом који се рађао. У истраживању је примењен историјски метод. Резултати у раду указују на значајну улогу грађанских гимнастичких друштава – соколских („Соко“) и витешких („Душан Силни“) у појави, полуларизацији и развоју модерног спорта крајем 19. и почетком 20. века у Србији. Сва ова друштва, без обзира на име, у намери да одрже своје и привуку ново чланство, предвиђала су својим уредбама и статутима, поред гимнастике која је била окосница програма телесног вежбања, прихватање и увођење других спортских активности и оснивање клубова. Новооснована „гимнастичка“ – „спортска одељења“ у борењу, стрељаштву, клизању, јахању, пливању, веслању, велосипеду, лоптању, развијала су се и прерастала у спортске клубове. Њиховим издвајањем из матичних гимнастичких друштава омогућен је бржи развој појединачних спортских грана, које се сматрају првим модерним спортовима у Србији.

  • Activities in Belgrade
    Activities in Belgrade Sights to see 1. Belgrade Fortress (Kalemegdan Park) The number one must-see location in the city. Some 115 battles have been fought over impressive Kalemegdan. Over the centuries, the citadel has been destroyed more than 40 times. The building of the fortification began in Celtic times, which the Romans extended onto the flood plains during their settlement of 'Singidunum', Belgrade's Roman name. Much of what stands today is the product of 18th-century Austro-Hungarian and TurKish reconstructions. The fort's bloody history, discernible despite today's plethora of jolly cafes and funfairs, only maKes Kalemegdan all the more fascinating. Entering from Knez Mihailova, go through the 18th- century Karadjordje Gate to reach the Upper Town (Gornji grad) of the fortress. From the Stambol Gate (1750), you will reach the Military Museum and the 27.5 metre high ClocK Tower. Further along, you will see a small bricK octagon; this is the 1784 Ali Pasha's Turbeh (tomb), one of Belgrade's few well- preserved Islamic monuments. The Roman Well is nearby, a mysterious 60m deep hole (more a cistern than a well) of dubious origin and shrouded in horrifying legends; apparently the well even managed to creep out a visiting Alfred HitchcocK! Looming beside it is the Victor Monument, a symbol of Belgrade erected in 1928 to commemorate Serbia’s victories over the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires during the BalKan Wars and WWI. This 14 metre high monument is the city’s most recognisable landmarK and famous Belgrade attraction. The plateau around the monument is always crowded with tourists and Belgrade natives, partly because of the breath-taKing view over the confluence of the two rivers that flow through Belgrade, and the beauty of this landmarK as part of the historic Belgrade Fortress.

At the end of the 19th century and in the 20th century, the competitions were occasionally used for solving the most important problems in urban structure of cities. In this respect, Belgrade joined many important European cities. The great urban planning competitions influenced the urban planning solutions and the creation of the waterfront identity. This paper analyses three examples of great public urban planning competitions that were organized at the time of important turning point in the development of waterfronts of the rivers Sava and Danube. This research opens up the question of a specific role of competitions that marked the theoretical and practical problems of their time. Investigating the views of the city, authentic ambiences and recognizable images of the city, the participants provided numerous answers that have influenced the existing identity of the Belgrade waterfront area over time. Key words: waterfront, identity, urban structure, competition, Belgrade. INTRODUCTION of international style and the so-called Le Corbusier’s architecture and urbanism.

Tako je Savamala, centar ekonomske mo}i dr`ave i mesto su~eqavawa no- vih ideja o gradogradwi, ve} posle Prvog svetskog rata sasvim zanemarena. Dana{wim pogledom na Kara|or- |evu ulicu i okolne ulice ne mo`e se ni pretpostavi- ti sjaj koji su one imale po~etkom XX veka. Po~etak razvoja Savske varo{i, nekada{weg pred- gra|a Beograda1 ili, kako su je Turci zvali – Savske ja- lije, {to je kasnije postao sinonim za utrinu pored Save, vreme je dono{ewa Hati{erifa 1830. godine i osamostaqivawa srpske vlasti. Po mi{qewu tada{we vlasti, jedini deo grada koji je bio dovoqno udaqen od turske varo{i u {ancu i koji nije imao poseban pe~at turske vlasti bio je prostor prema reci Savi. Me|u »tro{nim ku}ama la|ara, bostanxija i Ciga- na«,2 i kafana, uglavnom od slabog materijala,3 nalazila se samo jedna reprezentativna gra|evina – nekada{wa Carska xamija na Savi, kasnije nazvana [erif xamija.4 Deo Savamale u blizini Tvr|ave, do dana{weg sav- skog mosta, nazivan je jo{ i Liman – »po pristani{tu 5 carskih dereglija«.
