Model 001_Genex Tower – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.
Some buildings seem to belong to another world entirely. The Genex Tower in Belgrade is one of the most surreal and unforgettable pieces of late 20th-century architecture. Twin towers joined by a two-storey bridge, crowned with a circular observation deck. It’s equal parts Brutalist statement and science-fiction dream. Built as a gateway to the city, it still dominates the skyline decades later.
This model was a challenge in balance. The vertical weight of the twin shafts had to sit perfectly with the delicate connection of the bridge and the roundness of the top. Shrinking that into a handheld scale model meant working through careful proportions and fine detail until the silhouette felt right, while also being strong enough.
A small cast of one of the most extraordinary towers in the world.

Brief Overview:
The Genex Tower, also known as the Western City Gate, is a 35-storey Brutalist skyscraper complex in Belgrade. Its twin towers, linked by a two-storey bridge and topped with a circular observation deck, were designed to symbolise the city’s openness and modernity. Today, it remains one of the most striking and unconventional high-rises in the world.

My concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.

Materials
Materials
My concete models are all made using a fine grain quickset cement with a polymer additive. This gives a good balance between strength and detail casting. However concrete is a brittle material so the models are delicate and can break with impact.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Concrete is a brittle material so these models are delicate objects. They can be chipped or cracked easily and need to be protected from knocks or falls.
My concrete mix is also not waterproof so you should protected your model from damp and moisture.
Extreme changes in temperature will cause expansion and contraction inside the concrete model potentially leading to cracks forming. Keep your model out of direct sunlight and away from heating systems.
