If you haven’t been to the Balkan region before, visiting Georgia is an absolute must. Its strategic location on the crossroads between Europe and Asia reflects this country’s rich and diverse history.
Tbilisi’s architecture is certainly special and boasts intricate art nouveau buildings blending with Soviet Modernist structures. Let’s dive into the raw, unfiltered and geometric style Brutalist architecture that Tbilisi has to offer.
Bank of Georgia Headquarters
This piece of Brutalist architecture screams blocky patterns and disarray. Yet it comes together in chaotic unison with its jagged shapes and bold stature. Despite its chunky patterns, which appear misaligned, you just simply can’t keep your eyes off it.
Tbilisi State University
TSU is a public research university that was founded in the year 1918. It contains 60 research labs and is home to a whopping 3,700,000 books! How cool would it be to read books in a building that looks like it came out of a scene from pre-Blade Runner?
Tbilisi Sky Bridge
This structure is located in one of the highest areas of Tbilisi. Its unique structure connects 16 buildings together via bridges standing tall on rocky and misaligned terrain. It almost looks like a structure straight out of a futuristic sci-fi movie.
