Abstract

Belgrade. Formal Informal presents the findings of ETH Studio Basel’s research in the former Yugoslav and now Serbian capital, investigating the city’s development following the international embargo against the Milosevic regime in the early 1990s until the present day. Through the prism of complementary notions, formal and informal, the book explores Belgrade’s post socialist turmoil. Spanning between investigations of New Belgrade, formerly planned and built as the Yugoslav modern capital, and studies of the informal urban paradigm predominant during the 1990s, the book offers a portrait of Belgrade entering a new, global reality. Belgrade is presented not as an extreme and isolated case of urban transformation, but as a city whose recent history sheds light on processes now shaping contemporary European cities. ETH Studio Basel Contemporary City Institute was founded in 1999 as part of the Department of Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. Belgrade. Formal Informal was initiated in 2006 with a student research project carried out by the ETH Studio Basel in collaboration with the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade.

Abstract

Between 2008 and 2014, ETH Studio Basel, under the guidance of Roger Diener and Marcel Meili, has been investigating theprocess of urbanisation taking place outside cities. Territory - in the context of this investigation denotes both: the surroundings that a city subsumes into its own structure and the core city itself, which is the centre of this process of urbanisation, or "confiscation". Investigated were six regions on six continents: The Nile Valley with the dense corset of natural landscape surrounding a linear city; Rome-Adria, where territorial cells have formed within the territory, spawning an urban type of tremendous dynamism; Florida, presenting highly complex patterns of territorial organisation; Vietnam's Red River Delta, where recent reform exposed traditional settlement and cultivation of the delta to freer forces; Oman, where urbanisation of a territory essentially means reclaiming the desert with the immediate necessity to develop a system for water distribution; and Belo Horizonte, where natural conditions likewise play a major role in organising the territory as surface mining entails huge transformations of the natural terrain. 0The new book features two introductory essays on ETH Studio Basel's research approach and on terminology, concise illustrated reports on the six regions, and four concluding topical essays.
