TOWER WITHOUT END: CENTER FOR LINGUISTIC STUDIES: NEW BELGRADE
By working on the project, the student is trained to explore the possibilities of supplementing the existing physical structure of New Belgrade, themed through new forms of its modernity and continuity of transformations. Previously acquired knowledge from the theoretical areas of urban reconstruction, architectural typologies and modern construction technologies is synthesized. The theoretical framework in which this integration takes place can be characterized as philosophical-aesthetic and / or phenomenological-cultural and / or purely technological. The project examines the state-of-the-art state of the program and artistic role of architecture, where the formal aspect is proclaimed as a direct means of its interpretation. Work on a specific spatial material represents a starting point for the systematization of selected architectural values and the formulation of a methodological procedure, on which the improvement of the ability to control the individual design process depends. Design the Center for Linguistic Studies (CLS) – “Tower without End” – an architectural narrative in which ideas about language are transformed into forms of contemporary aesthetic and symbolic meanings. Examine the discursive possibilities of architecture to answer the questions of incompleteness, uncertainty, uncertainty, ie. contingency within a supermodern anthropological, social, and professional context. The scope of the intervention in the space of real but also stylistic fragmentation that corresponds to the program of culture and education is chosen. Spatial intervention on the front of Mikhail Pupin Boulevard ranges from discreet reconstruction of the chosen modernist physical environment to more significant interpretations of the theme of infinity, including disciplinary oversteps where the function of education in the field of linguistics can be projected as part of the genesis of the cultural landscape. and the intangible potential of the depths of the digital world.
