Pravi balkanski Pariz: Pogledajte plan za čitavo preuređenje Beograda iz 1912. godine FOTO/VIDEO

Belgijski arhitekta Alban Šambon izradio je 1912. godine plan za kompletno preuređenje Beograda. Kao pristalica istorizma i eklekticizma, takav Beograd bi danas bio neprepoznatljiv, pravi balkanski Pariz.

Belgrade that never was.

In 1912, Belgian architect Alban Chambon created a plan for complete remodeling of Belgrade. As a supporter of historicism and eclecticism, such Belgrade would be unrecognizable today, a true Paris of the Balkans.

Prema rečima Šambona, najreprezentativniji delovi grada bili bi delovi beogradske Slavije, Terazije i Tašmajdanski park.

Koncept je urađen po geodetskom planu iz 1909. godine. Po njegovom planu, od Terazija ka Savi je trebalo da bude kaskadna česma.

According to Chambon, parts of Belgrade Slavia, Terazije and Tašmajdan park would be most representative parts of the city.

Concept was made after geodetic plan from 1909. According to his plan, from Terazije towards Sava river there should have been a cascade fountain. pic.twitter.com/ih60UtbWN7

Ujedno, to je bila i prva urbanistička sinteza centra grada i padine ka reci, koja je u narednim decenijama postala jedan od najvećih izazova urbanista.

Nadalje, na mestu današnje Palate Albanija planirao je glavnu poštu.

At the same time, that was first urbanistic synthesis of center of the city and slope towards river, which in following decades became one of greatest challenges of urbanists.

Furthermore on the place of today's Palace Albania he planned Main Post Office. pic.twitter.com/qraalm0YBu

Druga monumentalna ideja bila je izgradnja Trijumfalne kapije na Trgu Slavija koja podseća na onu u Parizu, njegovo objašnjenje ideje je bila ratnička osobina srpskog naroda i da će izgradnjom takvog spomenika odati počast svojim precima.

Second monumental idea was building Triumphal Arch on Slavija square reminiscent of the one in Paris, his explanation of the idea was warrior trait of Serb people and that by building such monument they would honour their ancestors. pic.twitter.com/BSJzgdctsX

Da su planovi Šambona ostvareni, današnji prostor ispred Skupštine grada Beograda bio bi značajno drugačiji.

Dok je prostor Tašmajdanskog parka trebalo da bude mesto raznih državnih zgrada.

Terazije bi po njegovom planu izgledale skroz drugačije.

Do danas nije poznato ko je naručio ove planove, Kraljevski sud ili Opština Beograd.

Međutim, ubrzo izbija Prvi balkanski rat, a godinu dana kasnije počinje drugi, pa sledi Prvi svetski rat i planovi su potpuno napušteni.

To this day it's not known who ordered these plans, Royal Court or Municipality of Belgrade.

However, soon First Balkan war breaks out and a year later second one began with First World war following soon after and plans being completely abandoned.
