7th Belgrade International Architecture Week (BINA) 2012

The Belgrade International Architecture Week was launched in 2006 by the Association of Belgrade Architects and the Belgrade Cultural Centre as a fresh and dynamic force in architecture and urban planning in Serbia, featuring exhibitions, lectures, workshops and guided city tours. BINA recognizes that a balanced and nourished exchange between the city and people releases vital energy and that by enhancing that energy, we can find solutions for improvement of the city. This is the energy which nurtures the city and is necessary for its development. This concept represents the central idea of BINA'12 and its theme - City Energy, which take place from 19th of April to 4th of May in Belgrade. Programme highlights of BINA'12 include, among others, the exhibition London 2012 - Summer Olympic Games. Through its profound engagement in the matters of the city BINA has grown into an established platform for dialogue and exchange in the region. Welcome to BINA'12, enjoy its energy and make it grow!
