English to Italian Art/Literary Architecture Urbanistica

Sembrerebbe non trattarsi di un acquario ma di una specie di bacino idrico o darsena sul fiume dove andare in barca.

The project n.2 “Belgrade Boat Carnival”, as experimental project was shaped by the recognition that neither citizens nor experts recognised aquatorium of Belgrade as a public space. At the same time, although various institutions had separate jurisdiction in this area, the absence of care was visible everywhere: polluted river and its banks, stranded boats, abandoned floating houses. To solve this problem, it was not enough just to have numerous small public art events. Intensity of the (public art) action strategy was important in order to make fundamental and long-lasting change. The goal was to make an event of excellence which will celebrate rivers of Belgrade; a memorable event that will change the meaning of the space and improve relation between people and the river Institutionalization of Belgrade Boat Carnival as the official city event, fino ai nostri giorni. The area started to redevelop: diversity of public art interventions and activities, number of visitors that attended “Step to the River” and “Belgrade Boat Carnival” events, and their broad public promotion, confirmed the importance and high development potential of the old Sava port. As a result, private investors, as well as the city and state governments, were stimulated to invest in reconstruction of buildings and public spaces in the port area.
