Exhibition on Architectural research of French Embassy Building in Cetinje, which was realized by the Centre for Sustainable Development EXPEDITIO from Kotor, within the framework of the regional project which is funded by the European Union through the grant intended for the sustainable rehabilitation of cultural heritage, will again be open during the Days of Francophonie in Montenegro.

The aim of the architectural study of the French Embassy building in Cetinje, was to through archival explorations, and architectural analysis create the necessary professional base for further rehabilitation process, as well as to present and promote the value of this important cultural property.

Architectural research is important because it has brought new information about this property from many aspects. Research resulted in new knowledge about the designer, project participants, architectural features and the subsequent building transformations, as well as Cetinje arhitekturi in the early twentieth century and the relationships that existed between Montenegro and Francuske.

These findings may contribute to better understanding of the building value, which represents one of the oldest reinforced concrete buildings in Montenegro, recognizable by facade cladding of colorful glazed ceramic tiles. Apart from designer Paul Gaudet, in the realization of building was involved one of the most important architects and engineers of twentith century - Auguste Perret, as well as one of the most important manufacturers of archetural ceramics in early twentieth century, Alexandre Bigot. Findings obtained by architectural studies will represent an important basis for decision-making about the possibilities and ways of restoring the building and its future use.

The architectural study of the French embassy building in Cetinje is implemented by the Center for Sustainable Development EXPEDITIO from Kotor within the regional project, funded by the European Union through a grant intended for the sustainable rehabilitation of cultural heritage. The goal was to, through the architectural research and analysis, create the necessary technical basis for the further process of rehabilitation of cultural property, as well as the presentation and promotion of the values of this important building.
