In-betweenness as destiny. Paradigm shift in urban and architectural design of post-World War II Belgrade

Belgrade has undergone significant changes in its geopolitical position in the Balkans throughout history. Situated on the edge, Belgrade holds a unique position where cultures and civilizations converge, struggle, and interact over time. The city lacks continuity, both in its legislation and in its development. The only constant is its state of perpetual "in-betweenness" culturally, politically, and technologically. This "in-betweenness" serves as an architectural factor in post-WWII Belgrade, giving rise to spaces representing a radical political paradigm shift. These spaces transition from heroic ideological scenes to ordinary living spaces, where "in-betweenness" remains a daily destiny for the people of Belgrade.
