See and Foresee: Architectural Research Across Four Southeastern European Cities

Mariolina Affatato — Mon, 18 May 2026 01:30:00 +0000

Cities in Southeastern Europe do not wait to be read. They accumulate, layer upon layer of socialist planning, post-socialist disruption, and the quieter, less legible work of citizens remaking space from the ground up. Here, space and legacy insist on their own terms. What happens to architectural research when the cities that we observe already seem to know something our discipline has not yet learned to see?

The Ministry of Spatial Planning, Urbanism and State Property of Montenegro has announced the results of the international competition for the new Museum District and Park of Arts & Culture in Podgorica. The winning proposal, led by Milan- and London-based practice a-fact architecture factory in collaboration with LAND, Maffeis Engineering, and Charcoalblue, was selected from 48 entries by an international jury.

In the settlement of Drač (Podgorica_Monteengro), not only when it comes to Stara varoš (old city of Podgorica), but also in Montenegrin cities more widely, there is a unique typology of residential buildings, the essence of which is represented by single-pitched roofs of houses that direct water towards the inner courtyard. There are two benefits of this solution. The first is that roofs built in this way protect the streets from large amounts of water during frequent and heavy rains. The water that flowed into the inner courtyards was used for hygiene purposes, which represents another useful moment. In the process of thinking about the architectural composition of the mosque, these houses with single-pitched roofs, which strongly accentuate the space, could not be avoided as one of the important principles of the architectural composition. This is how the rule of the newcomer, a good neighbor who respects the established rules, was respected. Of course, the design language is modernized, but with a clear and recognizable reliance on the found features of the existing architecture.

Sustainability is a tough topic to avoid nowadays, and much more so in the world of interiors; thus, doing our part for the environment is critical.

The site is situated adjacent to the river Moraca with its picturesque and park like river landscape. To the North it is neighbouring the new millennium bridge a landmark suspension bridge with a span of 140 Metres and a 57 Metre high Pylon. Our proposal for the new UN-headquarter for Montenegro is to lower the landscape to the level of a proposed promenade walkway for pedestrians and cyclists connecting the city centre with its surrounding hinterland along the river.
