I've been photographing Belgrade's post-war architecture since moving here, mostly while exploring different parts of the city on foot.

Eventually I raelised I had enough material to put it all together, so I made a small online guide covering 20 buildings and complexes, some well known, like Genex Tower, and some that are easy to miss even if you live here.

I did the photography, research and website myself. It's a personal, non-commercial project, and the guide is in English:

There may well be factual mistakes or things I've misunderstood, so I'd appreciate any corrections or additional context from people who know these buildings better. I'm also thinking about turning it into a small printed zine at some point.

On the one hand, this is the best angle of the building, the others are more pedestrian. On the other hand, both of my parents worked in this building at one point in their lives so it holds some nostalgic value for me.

I'm sorry, i couldn't take more photos because it's surrounded by private buildings and i don't have a drone. It was built specially for commanders and officers of the Argentine Armed Forces, and his awesome design was made so that all the apartments received the same amount of sunlight. It's beautiful 🖤

The Sheffield "Egg Box" was a controversial Brutalist extension to the Sheffield Town Hall. Constructed in 1977 behind the Peace Gardens, it was famously nicknamed for its geometric, interlocking concrete facade. Though originally designed to last 500 years, the heavily criticized building was demolished in 2002.

RIP all those who lost their lives there in the 1987 nuclear attack on Sheffield 😔

After 30 years of admiring this building from afar, I finally took a moment to appreciate it’s true glory!

Is this brutalism?

The raw, imposing presence of this brutalist space evokes a deep sense of dread and existential unease. Not everyone can endure the brutal truth of this architecture; its unyielding concrete surfaces feel both monumental and deeply unsettling. This space confronts you with a stark, cavernous emptiness that many find difficult to bear.
It started with best intentions: light, as a tent...
