Picture
First glass facade in Belgrade. department store for the future, valuable secession architecture. Since I remember it has always been a store, changing but a store. Standing there imagining a coffee shop inside, I imagine it invaded, devastated, ruined. There is something in changing purpose for the buildings. I imagine it will be attractive and popular cafe, but i still find this ruining of architecture. Of course the two big swans that were the the entrance doors handles are already gone for good. City is becoming one big kafana. Kafana's are very important and essential in Belgrade's social and cultural life. Two hundred years ago it all started from kafanas. The crises closed the shops. It is kafana era again, but not in a progressive manner as before, it seems to be something different.
