The Green Chip
Project description
At the heart of our concept is a contemporary reinterpretation of the ancient gymnasium - where training and mental restoration intertwine. The site is designed as a co-evolution of the city and riverbanks. The old bridge is reborn as a symbolic connector - a new bloodline linking the historical core with New Belgrade. By integrating Saint-Gobain's sustainable technologies, local materials, and landscape design, we aspired to create a model of resilient urban renewal.
