The significance of research for contemporary interpolations, using examples of interpolations in Belgrade (1990-2018)

Abstract

Interpolations first appeared in the architecture of Belgrade in the final quarter of the nineteenth century, and today represent virtually the only possible way of constructing a building in the city's urban core. As their aesthetics are determined by the adjacent buildings, together with which they form units of street, square, or block compositions, research into the appearance of interpolated buildings among Belgrade's architecture is extremely important for correcting strategies for developing aesthetics of parts of the city, and thus of the city as a whole. This is especially true for analyses of recent interpolations, which can provide us with answers regarding the causes and directions of architecture in the present.
