Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade
Typology: Museum
Program: Museum, Public space, Restaurant, Office
Status: Competition
The main concept of the project is to create a beautiful and functional museum that serves as a guardian of Nikola Tesla’s outstanding legacy and promotes the popularization of science.
The façades of the existing building preserve their historical integrity, emphasizing the connection with the past. On the roof, an innovative shell emerges, symbolizing the electromagnetic waves explored by Tesla—waves that forever changed our world. This shell also conceals the old chimney, at the top of which a viewing platform is located.
Inside, unique spaces are created with striking lighting effects. Visitors can reach the platform either by ramp or by an elevator placed inside the chimney. This one-of-a-kind museum complex becomes an inspiring place for everyone interested in the achievements of science and technology.
