Project Development and Research

After drawing a few initial sketches, I decided to do a research  about cubism in  architecture. It is very important because my project is related to this style and I need to deepen my knowlede and develop my inititial idea.

They had a great contribution to the development of cubism in the architecture of the twentieth century, and even later created their own style called Rondocubism.

Until 2012, there was a water station in the Port Praski, which was built in 1885, and it was then used as a floating marina for steam boats.  The port performed its function until 1963, when a new port Zeranski was put into use.
