New gates of Belgrade

If the high multi-family buildings in the settlement of Konjarnik Rudo in Belgrade had "pockets" - upgraded elements that are stored transparent, semi-transparent or semi-open spaces, which can be public or private, that would increase the level of natural light, and the residents of these buildings would have on a daily basis the chance that inside the housing units residing outside the closed area. These "pockets" would have the possibility for different purposes, but the residents had the opportunity to choose which will be placed in their "pockets".
Inside the residential buildings Rudo are designed common areas large surfaces that residents are not used.  Common terraces appear on every fourth floor, so there are no common open spaces within each floor, a private open terraces have lost their original function with the change of purpose. This way of designing and transformations that have been made repurposing private terrace large areas of the facade were closed.
In every building there is 8 types of residential units.  By analyzingof these residential units, their areas and layout of the rooms can be noted that does not correspond to modern needs.  One of solution is reconstruction of housing units and hanging transparent, semi-transparent or semi-open "pockets" on the membrane of the building. In this case, the pockets should be hung on an existing structure in the grid (410cm). The strategy for the implementation of this system involves keeping the primary structure and installation of existing buildings.
Hang the "pockets" on the membrane of the building would allow the opening of the internal space to the outside, and reconstruction of residential units and changing their purpose rooms would help in creating a image on the facade that would be a projection of life in them. These "pockets" that require a higher level of privacy they would have the opportunity to become nontransparent by setting brisoleys on them, and those who serve as the garden would be semi. Changes on the "pockets" that happened, would allow the diversity of the whole facade in one day because it would have project different scene, and had a different look every time.
