By GlobalDataIts construction began in 1978 but work was stopped 11 years later, following Yogoslavia’s disintegration into different countries.
HHF Architects was quoted by Dezeen as stating: "The project was intended to be an architectural hybrid that would represent the socio-political structure of Niksic´.
"The proposal takes the existing architecture as a starting point and with pragmatic interventions, the new infrastructure reinvents the urban space."
The new structure will be built from glass, wood and feature insulating panels.
Once complete, it will accomodate a cafe, gallery and events spaces.
