Laundry hangs out to dry inside the Block 23, apartment neighbourhood in Belgrade, Serbia, July 31, 2019. REUTERS/Marko Djurica Laundry hangs out to dry outside of Block 23 in an apartment neighbourhood in New Belgrade, Serbia, July 31, 2019. Brutalism, an architectural style popular in the 1950s and 1960s, based on crude, block-like forms cast from concrete was popular throughout the eastern bloc. After World War Two socialist Yugoslavia led by Josip Broz Tito set out to reconstruct a land destroyed by fighting. Residential blocks, hotels, civic centres and monuments all made of concrete shot up across the country. The architecture was supposed to show the power of a state between two worlds - Western democracy and the communist East, looking to forge its own path and create a socialist utopia.

Genex Tower, also known as The Western City gate, stands in Belgrade, Serbia, March 1, 2019. The building consists of two soaring pillars, connected by an aerial bridge. The tower is one of the most significant examples of brutalism, an architectural style popular in the 1950s and 1960s, based on crude, block-like forms cast from concrete. "Genex tower is among the most interesting sight. People see it on their way from the airport and it immediately draws their attention," said Vojin Muncin, manager of the Yugotour sightseeing agency which guides tourists around the Serbian capital.

Miodrag Zivkovic, 91, architect of the "Battle of Sutjeska" memorial monument, poses for a picture with the original maquette in his home in Belgrade, Serbia, February 27, 2019. Zivkovic, the sculptor of the 19 metre-high concrete Tjentiste memorial was among the first artists in the former Yugoslavia to use concrete. "It is stable material, resembling stone but it is easier to work with," he said. "For every project back in those days there was a national contest, and artists from all over the country had the opportunity to apply, and that competition produced quality." REUTERS/Marko Djurica
