Magical Belgrade, the headquarters of Brutalist architecture

Brutalism, also known as Brutalism, is an architectural style that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Belgrade. The cold concrete, the heavy visual experience, the huge monochrome walls, and the simple geometric shapes always give people a strong emotional impression. Just like the Serbs, they appear cold and resolute on the outside, but are extremely passionate on the inside. Personally, I think it was during the post-war Cold War period that the two major camps of the East and the West confronted each other in architecture. It subverted tradition, resisted the hedonism and exaggeration of the bourgeoisie, clearly displayed the internal structure, and had an architectural style with a strong core spirit. Introducing three very famous Brutalist residential buildings in Belgrade. Photography enthusiasts should not miss it. 1. Karaburma Residential Building, also known as Toblerone tower, also known as the "Chocolate Tower". Built in 1963, the tower design incorporates outward-protruding triangular windows, which has a very unique shape and a total of 17 floors. 2. Genex tower, also known as Belgrade West Gate, was built in 1980. It consists of two towers. The taller tower is a residential building and the lower tower is an office building. The two towers are connected by a double-decker bridge. The building is 115 meters high and has 35 floors. At the top is a revolving restaurant, but unfortunately it has been closed since 1999. In order to welcome China's visit and promote the Belt and Road Initiative, Serbia hung the five-star red flag at the west gate. 3. Rudo Residential Building, also known as Belgrade East Gate, was built in 1976. It consists of three identical towers forming a tripod. It is 85 meters high and has 28 floors.
