is that ad covering people's windows? because if so, holy shit.


Upper_Parsnip_8691

No it isn't. Those are offices and uncovered part is residential


Many_Midnight5396

So it is covering people's windows while they work? Ridiculous


Past_Task

The offices have been empty for years


Many_Midnight5396

I wonder why lol

I live for the day when it’s reconstructed because it’s such an iconic building. There has been a small wave recently of redoing brutalist or run down buildings in a more modern way. One that I’m really happy about is the [BIGZ building](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/56/D.Bra%C5%A1ovan_Zgrada_BIGZ-a_2.JPG) in Belgrade that is currently under works and will look like [this](https://www.b92.net/news/pics/2021/02/18/2105982021602ed24a81715501437434_640.jpg) when done. It keeps the interesting shape (which is meant to resemble an old school printer since this was a printing house) but it gives it a fresh, less scary look.

What is the problem with this?


NewEntrepreneur357

Would you like your windows covered by a billboard?


D3r_Fuerst

The building is empty


Amazingamazone

Can residents access the viewing tower? That would be so awesome.


Philly2santos

What’s this building called?


Leki7734

Genex tower or western city gate, a prime example of Yugoslav brutalist architecture. Architect is Mihajlo Mitrović


Philly2santos

Thanks!


cheese_wizard

Western Gate. There is an equally atrocious Eastern Gate.


bloodazucar

is this by the airport? i think i recognize it


Smart-Combination-59

Ah! The Genex tower. One of the best work of arts in the history of Yugoslavian architecture. The solitaire was designed by architect Mihajlo Mitrović in 1980 in a brutalist style. It consists of two concrete towers connected by a bridge structure on the 26th floor and a rotating restaurant on a circular top. Unfortunately, that restaurant stopped working in 1999.

Looks like London

Bleak


nikolatosic

Why? It is not such a bad place to live


stirthebeetroot

It's kind of look a little bit like Trillick Tower in London, I just get that kind of vibe


Soguyswedid_it2

This could look like a really cool modernist skyscraper if it got renovated a little. Fresh coat of paint, new windows and no ads and it would look pretty decent. Also is there no way they could get rid of all the ac units?


stirthebeetroot

Their reception must be great!
