BIGZ building, Protected cultural monument in Savski Venac, Serbia
The BIGZ building is a modern structure in Savski Venac with eight stories of concrete and glass arranged in a symmetrical pattern across its facade. The building defines its surroundings through clear geometric forms and a balanced composition of windows and solid surfaces.
Architect Dragiša Brašovan designed this building in 1936 as the State Press House, which began operations in February 1941 during wartime. After decades of industrial use, it was later repurposed and took on a new role in the city's cultural life.
The building served as a national printing facility and now hosts artists, musicians, and creative businesses that shape Belgrade's contemporary cultural scene. Visitors notice how the open spaces support collaboration and exhibitions among the creative community.
The building is centrally located in Belgrade and easily accessible by public transport. It is best to visit in the morning or early afternoon when the creative spaces are most active and natural light highlights the architecture.
The building merges Russian constructivism and Bauhaus elements with an industrial aesthetic, making it a distinctive example of Serbian modernism. This architectural blend was unusual for its time and reflects the diverse European influences on Belgrade's architecture during the 1930s.
