Brief Overview:

Western City Gate, also known as Genex Tower, is a striking example of brutalist architecture located in Belgrade, Serbia. This unique skyscraper stands at a height of 115 meters and consists of two towers connected by a bridge. The building was originally intended to be a symbol of modernization and progress in Yugoslavia during the 1970s and 1980s. 

The Western City Gate has become an iconic landmark in Belgrade, and its imposing presence is a testament to the vision of its architects. Despite its controversial design, the tower has won numerous awards for its innovative approach to urban design and architecture.

The Western City Gate exemplifies these characteristics, with its imposing concrete façade and angular, asymmetrical design. It has become a popular destination for tourists and architecture enthusiasts alike, who marvel at its imposing form and futuristic aesthetic.
