Right under Kalemagdan, looks like wilderness untouched. This is where the two great empires, Habsburg and Ottoman clashed, with Belgrade as the main strategic point for about half of millenium. Whats so nice about Belgrade is that its rivers, especially where Sava and Danube meets are almost completely undeveloped. If it is, then its not redeveloped. How many cities in Europe could say that. Before too late, come to Belgrade. Best if you join Lost Highway.

Designed by Coop Himmelblau. The latter is for Wolf D. Prix. Please comment your criticism on their design. Of course you should sent it to them.

Yes every city must have one. But for Belgrade, they really went all out Pop. Taking Cheap Material High Architecture to extreme, they create Beyond Post Modernism. The bridge was designed by Calatrava. Hey if you have their email address, please send this to them. Why not. Send one to Mr. Koolhaas to. Dont send to Zaha. She will kill you. To bad, Phillip is dead.

This is a view of the Great Miosevic Water Filteration Plant, built in 1996. Super hi-tech and hybrid concept. You go have a drink, see how garbage accumulates, and have an Eco-pleasure. Instead of watch ducks, you watch how garbage really dances on water.

Yes there is a new Grand Slam Tennis Tournament. Its Belgrade Open. Wimbleton plays on grass court, French open on Clay court, and US open and Aussie plays on Hard Court. Well Serbian ingenuity comes through again, and invents Water Court. Lucky for us. The final game is on August 9th, when LHE is in Belgrade. Lets go.

What a radical recreational concept. Flood the playground, so kids could swim and climb at the same time. So much to learn from Belgrade.

I was told about a bike trail that goes all around the city, along Sava and Danube. But they didn't tell me that, right under Kalemagdan fortress, it goes under the water. Interesting park design. Actually this place is exactly where the house boat [the Summer Palace] is at http://europelostandfound.net/node/530, but here its all under water. The house boat will be right behind the tree in the water.

Here is one that is not so Turbo Folk or Nationalist Yuppies. Its a nice place to drink a pivo in late afternoon. Lets go. Pic by Kyong, July 2006

A round about of architectural chaos, spanning from Habsburg, to hi-modern, to post-YU, and probably almost everything in between. Pic by Kyong, July 2006
