Enabling architecture through technology: overview of smart home technology systems and devices as support for people with disabilities and the elderly [abstract]
No full textThe rapid development of digital technologies and their application in various aspects of everyday life have led to the emergence of smart homes. Smart homes are not merely technological achievements; they represent a step toward a new way of living, where comfort, safety, and assistance converge to create an environment tailored to the individual needs of each user. The Internet of Things (IoT) technically supports this housing concept, integrating various devices and systems within the living space. Older people and people with disabilities often face obstacles that threaten their independence and safety in their own homes. In the context of an ageing global population and increasing needs for disability support, smart homes equipped with advanced systems for monitoring, automation, and assistance have the potential to enhance the quality of life for these groups.
In architectural discourses, integrating smart home technology with architecture to enable the adequate use of spaces has yet to be covered, pointing out a notable research gap. The aim of this research is to understand these technologies and their specific applications in supporting people with disabilities and the elderly through a lens of architects. This paper will methodologically review literature focused on smart home technologies and assistive technologies, as well as research examining smart home technologies as assistive technologies. It will define the main challenges faced by people with disabilities at home and identify the technologies that overcome those challenges. The results include a systematization of technologies based on the problems they address, impact of these technologies on users, along with a discussion and conclusion on the potential of these technologies in architecture. The results aim to serve as a foundation for further research on this topic through scientific papers and projects
Водич за урбанистичко планирање и пројектовање јавног отвореног простора у стамбеним подручјима : резултат 2.4.
No full textЈавни отворени простор (ЈОП) има кључну улогу у квалитету живота у стамбеном окружењу, посебно у подручјима вишепородичног становања. Како градови расту и пролазе кроз процес погушћавања, потреба за приступачним, инклузивним, мултифункционалним и отпорним отвореним просторима којима се добро управља постаје све важнија на свим урбаним нивоима. Овај Водич за урбанистичко планирање и пројектовање ЈОП-а нуди свеобухватан оквир за разумевање, планирање, пројектовање и управљање ЈОП-ом у градским стамбеним подручјима.https://www.repos-project.rs
Creative Industries for Rural Settlement Regeneration: A Case Study of the Village of Medna
No full textWhile creative industries are typically associated with big cities, recent EU research shows that
famous creative hotspots are located in rural areas. Creative industries serve an essential role in
helping rural economies. Culture can play an important part, and so can offering creative courses
in rural areas that are far from universities and cultural hubs. Rural areas boast a combination of
natural and architectural heritage, which gives them an advantage in terms of quality of life and
economic potential. Yet, most rural areas in Europe have been faced with economic, social and
environmental problems, resulting in their devastation.
The village of Medna is located in the Municipality of Mrkonjić Grad, the Republic of Srpska,
Bosnia and Herzegovina. This area has been continuously inhabited since pre-Roman times,
as evidenced by many archaeological sites, the medieval stećci tombstone graveyards and the
Prizren fortress. Also, the Roman Salona–Servitium road passed through the area. The village
boasts fine examples of vernacular architecture, an important element of the local cultural
identity. It is also known for its honey products and fruit brandy (plum, pear, apple). The area
is faced with depopulation, a lot of the building heritage has collapsed or is derelict, and the
extraction of ore in the village is leading to an ecological crisis.
This paper deals with the possibility of rural regeneration of the village of Medna by identifying
its potential and proposing innovation economic activities to ensure sustainable development.
It presents a project done with architecture students of the Faculty of Architecture, Civil
Engineering and Geodesy at Banja Luka University. The case study of village Medna focused on
the excellence of the preserved local cultural and natural heritage to identify the local resources
– the area’s distinctive elements and characteristics – for creative economy stimulation. The
Medna regeneration strategy involves raising the awareness of the local population about the
value of the local heritage and disseminating this information to the wider community

Urban growth, shrinkage, and revitalisation shaped by the Danube: the case of towns in the lower Danube region in Serbia
No full textBeing the most international river all over the world, the Danube has an immense influence on cities and towns on its shores. However, this influence is the strongest in the Danube sections where the other natural resources, such as a good inland connectivity or fertile plains and valleys in background, are more limited. This is the case for six towns located in the Lower Danube Region in Serbia – Veliko Gradište, Golubac, Donji Milanovac, Tekija, Kladovo, and Brza Palanka. They are mainly located in the Iron Gates, the longest gorge of the Danube. Narrow Danube Shores and isolating mountainous hinterland with limited resources have shaped the destiny of these towns inseparably connected to this powerful river. Their growth, shrinkage, and revitalisation have relied on the prospects of the Danube thereof. This symbiosis has also shaped the local economy, urban facilities and demographic trends of these towns, which has further reflected on their urban morphology. The aim of this paper is to present this unique urban growth and shrinkage these six Serbian towns shaped by the Danube of during pre-socialist period, i.e., in 19th and the first half of 20th century
Developing a Training Dataset for Deep Learning Models for Apartment Layout Generation [abstract]
No full textIn recent years, there has been a rise in the development of automated apartment layout generation tools, demonstrating the increasing demand for resource efficiency and improved spatial organization in housing architecture. This study focuses on the apartment layouts from the Belgrade School of Housing (1960s–1980s, Yugoslavia), known for its exemplary architectural practices. The aim of
this study is the creation and development of a dataset for training deep learning (DL) models for automated apartment layout generation. Given that many original layouts exist only in analogue format, the study introduces a protocol for dataset creation: (1) data collection and selection, (2) data digitization, (3) unified graphic language formation, (4) data augmentation, and (5) data compilation. The outcome of this study is a cohesive dataset for training and testing DL models, primarily Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Finally, the created dataset is tested through the apartment layout generation process. The main contribution of this study is a set of instructions for dataset creation that can facilitate data-driven design. This provides an opportunity for highly effective architectural concepts to be revived into a new design process powered by DL models. In future research, the universality of this dataset can be verified using different DL models

New Pedagogical Guidelines: The Book “Joyful Cities: Urban Regeneration Revisited”
No full textAuthors of this paper just wrote and published a new and a rather experimental form of a book which
will be primarily used as a literature on Urban Renewal course at Faculty of Architecture University of
Belgrade. This book entitled Joyful cities: urban regeneration revisited has a broader purpose: to empower and facilitate modern approach in education and to help students to develop a critical thinking
mindset. Also, to become a part of that pedagogical tool: the textbook itself.
Additionally, the book is developed by sharing principle: lead by full professor and followed by an ass.
professor in a role of both editors and chapter authors, while the individual chapters of the same book
are written by other co – authors, each an expert in their fi led. All of the chapters are gathered around
the topic of the future city, or as the authors sees it, the joyful city. In that sense, the topics covered
in the book go from the main urban problems, such as slums and segregations, through the issue of
innovation, participation and infrastructure, ending with the topics that uncover the secret of wellbeing
today and the core of the city – its soul.
The students played a crucial role in development of this book. Didactics (learning by note talking) is
almost abandoned today. In that sense, the book is an unusual way to spread the knowledge based on
the new principle of direct coordination and unformal link between students and professors, encouraging them to be not only the participants, but the idea makers in the academic and pedagogical fi elds
DALL·E 2024-03-17 21.18.06 - поглед из ваздуха на зграде уништене бомбардовањем [уље на платну] [2024]
No full textU ciklusu Kritičari su izabrali – tradicionalnoj izložbi koja se kao recepcija kritičara savremene vizuelne umetnosti u Likovnoj galeriji kontinuirano organizuje od 1967. godine – Gordana Stanišić, istoričarka umetnosti i dobitnica Nagrade „Lazar Trifunović“ za 2020. godinu, priredila je izložbu KO SE PLAŠI STRAHA JOŠ… za 2025. godinu.
… Strah se ne može negirati jer je on empirijska realnost i emocionalno iskustvo, upozorenje i unutrašnji alarm, ali i cena spoljašnjeg haosa, uzrok i posledica posthumanog doba. Ako je kultura straha svuda oko nas, da li i dalje možemo diferencirati funkcionalnu od disfunkcionalne uloge straha, personalno od globalno socijalnog dejstva ili je sve podređeno vladavini strahom i suživotu sa njim u cikličnoj „sivoj zoni“… Da li strahom mistifikujemo pojave, da li nas on zarobljava i iracionalno destabilizuje ili je racionalna prevencija i odbrambena re-akcija?
Koliko su personalni afekti izazvani generisanim strahom u osnovi percepcije sveta u vremenu nove normalnosti, medijske predominacije, globalne difamacije, sve fatalnije ravnodušnosti… Koliko se i na koji način u umetničkoj praksi komunicira sa resursima nasleđa straha i uspostavlja kritička relacija iz smera posmatrača i/ili žrtve
Стамбена изградња Београда [Електронски извор] : технике, идеје, домети
No full textМонографија Стамбена изградња Београда – технике, идеје, домети пружа опсежну анализу еволуције конструктивних принципа и примењених грађевинских техника у стамбеној изградњи Београда. Циљ рада је да се понуди прецизнији увид у историјске токове њиховог развоја, уз сагледавање ширег контекста утицајних фактора који су обликовали овај процес. Истраживање осветљава комплексну интеракцију између техничких, друштвених, политичких и економских чинилаца, као и ефекте које су произвели на грађевинску праксу у различитим историјским периодима. Друштвено-политичке прилике и економски развој играли су кључну улогу у обликовању ових промена, често опредељујући правац развоја, али и постављајући ограничења за будући напредак у овој области. Демографска кретања, социјалне прилике, такође су имале утицаја на стамбену продукцију и посредно утицале на развој конструкција и техника грађења. Монографија обухвата све наведене критеријуме и пружа целовиту и интердисциплинарну слику развоја стамбене изградње у Београду, посматрану кроз техничке, друштвене, економске и историјске утицаје који су обликовали њене домете и специфичности
