Beton Hala Waterfront Center Proposal / AMA

Courtesy of AMA

By courageously connecting the design of the building with the territory, in constant
dialogue with the urban texture, nature and its limits, Architetto Matteo Ascani (AMA)
enhances the position of the new Beton Hala Waterfront Center within the city of Belgrade.
Through their concept, the building becomes a mixed use area that blends culture,
shopping and outdoor activities. Thanks to its strategic location served by the tram line, the
Passenger river port and the main road Vojvode Bojovica Boulevard and Karadjordjeva a
network of connections is created where the Beton Hala Waterfront Center is turned into an
intermodal hub. More images and architects’ description after the break. MORE OF

modification leaves only one traffic light in the cross between Vojvode Bojovica Boulevard,
Karadjordjeva and Pariska street. The underground area is designed as an inner road next
to the trailway tunnel where cars and buses enter for parking; escalators and elevators
connect the underground parking with the main floor which is an important public space.

located next to the fortress in order to create a direct lift from the terrace of Beton Hala. In
this case, the tourists are encouraged to visit the gallery, start a museum walk, or to arrive
in the old town.
