Mihailo Čanak

Mihailo Čanak is a Serbian architect known for his role as the lead designer of the largest residential building in Belgrade, known as 'stambeni blok B-7'. Constructed between 1960 and 1966, this unique structure was designed to accommodate military personnel and their families, featuring a distinctive S-shaped layout comprised of nine connected sections. Čanak's innovative approach and minimalist design principles were significant in overcoming the challenges posed by the project's ambitious scale. The building, which houses approximately 3,500 residents, has become a landmark in New Belgrade, showcasing the architectural vision of the 'Beogradskih pet' group of young architects during the 1960s.
