Son of the Sun
Project description
The project transforms an underused industrial riverfront into a vibrant sports and educational hub for youth. By reconnecting New Belgrade with the Sava River, it introduces a hybrid structure combining recreation, learning, and public space. A key intervention is the redesign of the Academic Sailing Club through a perforated envelope and ramp, creating an inclusive landmark that promotes ecological awareness, community interaction, and a healthy future.
