Edition Belgrade 2026

CONTEST TASK PRESENTATION

Located strategically near the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, adjacent to the Belgrade Waterfront and within sight of the historic Kalemegdan fortress, this project aims to develop new area following the main objectives of the city’s Master Plan. This prime location, currently occupied by an industrial cement factory, offers an unprecedented chance to reimagine the waterfront as a vibrant hub for sports, recreation, and community engagement.

The City of Belgrade, seeking innovative and forward-thinking proposals, envisions this area as a catalyst for urban regeneration. The competition challenges students to propose ideas that seamlessly integrates new construction with the  renovation of the existing Academic Yachting Club Belgrade. Such Sports and Recreation Hub invites to the integration of various public and commercial facilities focused on sports, ecology, and hospitality.
