Public buildings, libraries, museums, universities, opera houses and theatres, hotels, airports and hospitals.

OK, only central and eastern Europe, excluding Greece, Turkey and CIS (commonwealth of independent states - or leftovers of former soviet union).

Discussion and photos of any public buildings, libraries, museums, universities, opera houses and theatres, hotels, airports and hospitals.

This is not a competition but rather friendly chat to ce what each country has to offer in terms of public and cultural life. :) :) :) :) :) :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

PS.... One project at the time or if you can plz put hotels with hotels post - (U canalways make more posts) avoid mixing public bldg's as it might confuse ppl, also if you can get some info on it, size, if hospital or hotel - beds if airport passangers and so on.....

thanx

Parliament of Serbia and Montenegro
The first design for the House of the National Representation was made by Konstantin A. Jovanović in 1891. At the open competition of 1901 for the building on the area near the Batal mosque, the winning work was that of Jovan Ilkić, which is, in fact, a variant of Jovanović's solution. The construction of the palace began in 1907, and the cornerstone was laid by King Petar I. During World War I, Ilkić has died in the concentration camp in Nežider, while the plans have been lost. In accordance with the completed parts of the building, the new plans have been made by Ilkić's son Pavle, while Nikolaj Krasnov has helped in completion of the building, especially the interior. The construction was not finished until 1936. It was designed in the manner of academic traditionalism, with rich interior (architectural and artistic) decoration, made by, at that time, most famous artists and craftsmen. In 1939, a monumental sculptural group made by the famous sculptor Toma Rosandić was placed in front of the main entrance. It was named "Igrali se konji vrani" (Black horses are playing).

Yeah, I read that when I was doing my project on Poland for my World Issues class.
You can't excluded CIS states, they make up a lot of Eastern Europe. This is dumb.

Oh, and BTW, most of Eastern Europe is a "leftover" of the Soviet Union, for your information. :|

Pyro, you took World Issues too? What did you do there? Was it as easy as ours? Did you do the 30-hour famine?

Well right now we're doing demographics, so we're studying populations, their transitions, etc. A pretty easy course, but I'm pretty interested in it. Today we had a mock conference where each of us had to represent a country and I was assigned Poland. I represented it perfectly. :D

I didn't take part in the 30 hour famine, but a lot of people in my school are participating.
