Student works on Belgrade

For Studio Basel, in its attempts to understand the material transformations in the contemporary city, fieldwork is crucial. In the case of Belgrade, we will even make two trips to the city. The first trip will be in the sign of a general introduction. Local experts will introduce us to the city in lectures and excursions. The second trip will be dedicated to specific case studies, to be carried out in teams of two students. These teams, in close collaboration with assistants, scientific collaborators and the professors themselves, will investigate a series of specific locales in Belgrade.

The proposed research topics are:

1. New Belgrade Center (2 teams)
2. Sava riverbanks (2 teams)
3. Highway of Brotherhood and Unity / Corridor X
4. River Leisure
5. Mega Blocks
6. Wild Rich
7. Do-It-Yourself Suburbia
8. Legalization
9. Curating Memory
