Architect Santiago Calatrava visited potential locations for new building of Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra

After staying in Belgrade for two days, world-acknowledged and celebrated architect Santiago Calatrava, who came to the capital city of Serbia at the invitation of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra’s Zubin Mehta Foundation, said that drawing of plans for the new building of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra would represent a real challenge for him.

Having finished the tour of potential locations for the construction of that building, the Spanish architect said he was thrilled with the urban potential of Belgrade and welcomed the plan of the city officials to launch transformation of Belgrade’s large building resources in the coastal areas of the Danube and Sava rivers.

“The Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra and the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra’s Zubin Mehta Foundation are honored by the fact that Mr. Calatrava is hired to design the building and that Belgrade may in that way appear on the map of the selected cities in which there are buildings designed by such important person in the contemporary architecture”, the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra’s Zubin Mehta Foundation announced.
