SP4-2 Apartment Interior Design [The 22nd Salon of architecture, 2020]
Get PDFStambeni prostor namenjen mladom bračnom paru nalazi se u blizini Hrama Svetog Save u Beogradu. Osnovna ideja je bila stvaranje ambijenta koji podstiče osećaj „doma“ kroz željeni komfor korisnika u obavljanju svakodnevne aktivnosti. Jednostavnost je naglašena jednostavnom geometrijom, dok primena boja provocira ideje o stilu života u savremenom urbanom kontekstu.The apartment, designed for the young couple, is located nearby The Church of Saint Sava in Belgrade. The basic idea was to create a space that encourages the feeling of “home” through the desired comfort of the users performing daily activities. Simplicity is emphasized by clean and sober lines, while the power of colors provokes an idea of the lifestyle in the contemporary urban context
Revealing Nature Through Play in Urban Design Education
Get PDFThe challenge for urban design today is to help development of the healthy, vital, sustainable
and resilient cities in which humans and nature flourish together. Consequently, urban design
education needs to help future architects and urbanists to develop knowledge, skills and awareness
to create more ecologically sensible urban settings. Assuming that effective design helps inform us
of our place within the nature, Sim Van der Ryn and Stuart Cowan ask designers to “Make nature
visible” in order to bring the designed environments back to life and to activate our potential for
learning.
Based on the analysis of the students’ works (design projects, artefacts and portfolios) from
Ecological Urban Design Studio at University of Belgrade Faculty of Architecture, this study
explores: How can design of the playground help students rethink the relation between man and
nature, and create places where urban nature is revealed and enjoyed? We argue that “the play” as concept and “learning by doing” as methodology together have a potential to help students
develop ecological awareness
Application of veneer based panels in Exoskeleton Architecture
Get PDFThe development of new materials and technologies is one of the greatest initiator of new architectural thought. Development within the long-standing continuous improvement of wood as material was induced by technological development and new market demands. Good mechanical and physical properties of wood and its easy accessibility, initiated further development and improvement of products based on this material. The aims of this improvement are more rational wood application and improvement of its physical and mechanical properties in regard to monolithic wood. In particular significant are wood-based products made from veneer layers, plywood and laminated veneer lumber (LVL). These materials stand out from other wood-based panel materials due to their mechanical and aesthetic performance. Previous application of veneer-based panels as a structural element in architecture has been implied as secondary or tertiary structural elements which transfer the load to supporting structural members, or to stiffen wooden structures. Recognition a good mechanical property of the material and its advantages as a small self-weight encouraged examining the possibilities of using wood-based panel products as the primary structural support element in exoskeleton structures, i.e. using building envelope as object structure. Application plywood and LVL is research study, so in this paper authors will analyze the possibilities of using these products as an exoskeleton supporting element, through case studies of realized experimental structures. Through research realised structures will be analysed, with a focus on shell structures. They will be evaluated through recognition of its advantages and disadvantages, especially those are directly conditioned by the structural characteristics of the material. Analyses of structures will be done according following criteria: structure design, spatial stability, span constraints, possibilities of loads the structure can support and connections between elements. In order to encourage use of veneer-based panels as load-bearing element in the exoskeleton structure, the paper will set guidelines for further research in this area and will recommend possibilities to improve mechanical characteristics of material. Rationalization of the use of wood-based panels in folded structures will highlight in paper. Forming exoskeleton structure from this material contributes rational use of the structure and raw wood materials saving
Models for Contemporary Exploitation of Balneological Potential in Vojvodina
Get PDFDue to its geological specificities, Vojvodina is abundant with various balneological resources. During 2018, an extensive multidisciplinary research was conducted in order to investigate the current condition on 50 sites, explore the quality and quantity of relevant resources and offer proposals for developing contemporary balneology facilities. The architectural programs spanned from modest drinking fountains to complex developments and resorts with variety of facilities. Throughout the process, a series of model units were developed and tailored to match the medical and therapeutical requirements with the imperatives of environmentally conscious, sustainable and resilient architecture.
Typological and modular approach was identified as the most efficient both for effective development and construction in various circumstances as well as for promoting the balneology as a rediscovered potential for healthcare tourism, well-being and revival of some local communities. Site-specific architectural design is perceived as one of the key premises of green architecture; however, the topology of Vojvodina planes has enabled the development of modular units that are easily adjusted to the specific site. These units were developed aiming to achieve different functional and esthetical variations using the same basic structure, building principles and components. Furthermore, this approach enables seasonal variations and optimisations in facility’s capacity, allowing the permanent, year-round operation avoiding unnecessary operation costs and maintaining favourable ecological footprint. Finally, by using the optimised units for potential extensions, maintaining and improving of building performance is secured, while keeping recognizable and uncompromised architectural language throughout facility’s life span. The use of passive design features and on-site renewable energy resources (solar and geothermal) was also taken into the consideration from the conceptual design phase.
The paper systematically presents the scope and achieved results of the research process with an overview of selected case study examples showing the application options in various conditions
Discovering the hybrid model of architectural drawing at the beginning of the XXI century
Get PDFProfessional, as well as research framework of contemporary architectural design implies a
field articulated by the development of information technologies. So far, it has represented an
area of the most rapid exchange of opinions and ideas, being subjected to various interpretations
and speculations in different phases of the architectural design process – from initial ideas
to final architectural simulations and realisations. Radical changes in architectural thinking
have directly reflected on the usage and ways of understanding architectural drawing in the
architectural design process. Furthermore, this situation led to radical changes in the traditional
process of designing the architectural space. In the context of understanding the relationship
between the architect and the drawing as his/her only authorial work, this relationship is being
usurped by the implementation of the computer software as an intermediary tool between the
two. The introduction of software in the architectural design process influences the emerging
forms of the architectural drawing, offering new possibilities such as direct, current and
omnipresent manipulation, as well as a multitude of representational possibilities.
This paper problematizes the position of architectural drawing by examining its manifestations
at the beginning of the twenty-first century as a consequence of the paradigmatic changes
brought about by the digital revolution. Architectural drawing at the beginning of the century
is disappearing in its traditional sense and is being replaced by different forms and roles in the
architectural design process. Since the conducted research is observed primarily through the
discipline of architecture, and more closely, through the field of visual arts, it will examine the
role of drawing in the area of architectural representation. Additionally, the research results
emerging in the form of a hybrid model of architectural drawing, will be discussed in terms
of its creative potential and further explorative applicability within the field of architectural
education
Energy Balance, Cost and Architectural Design Features of 24 Building Integrated Photovoltaic Projects Using a Modelling Approach
Get PDFThis paper presents the energy balance, architectural design features and cost aspects of 24
building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) projects in three different contexts, namely BIPV in residential,
office and historical buildings. These BIPV projects have been modelled and evaluated for different
geographic locations because the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2018/844/EU)
has resulted in country-specific regulations and situations aimed towards the reduction in energy
consumption, and hence the CO2 emissions of built environments. Moreover, the geographical
variation of irradiation affects the performance of different BIPV projects on different locations.
The results of our study show that the return of investment of BIPV projects across 12 countries
took (on average) 13.3 years. Furthermore, the residential projects —as compared to non-residential
buildings—were mostly energy plus buildings with an average self-sufficiency of 110% due to their
low energy consumption. In conclusion, most BIPV projects resulted in realistic energy performances
(on average: 761 kWh/kWp.year), low payback times (10 years for residential and office buildings),
and modelled unique design features
The good in planning: model of value judgment in city development practice
Get PDFГлавни циљ истраживања односи се на преиспитивање појма доброг и поновно враћањењеговој конститутивној улози у планирању. У раду се полази од тезе да је добро основпостојања планирања као етичке активности, односно да без веровања да планирање можедопринети бољем развоју града нестаје и потреба за планирањем. Имајући у виду значај доброгза планирање, очекује се да оно заузима и централну позицију у научној дебати о суштини иулози планирања у савременом контексту. Из тог убеђења израста изразит значај анализе исистематизације теоријске мисли као упоришта за формирање модела кроз метод систематичногпрегледа литературе.Верује се да диверзитет теоријских становишта може утицати на стварање нормативнеоснове за деловање у пракси и омогућити дефинисање аспеката који усмеравају вредноснорасуђивање о добром у пракси развоја града. Наведени елементи чине логичку поставку моделакоја се проверава на анализи конкретних студија случаја у Београду, како би се модел тестираои како би се разумели локално специфични услови. У складу са тим, главни очекивани резултатиистраживања су допринос теоријском знању и креирање модела вредносног расуђивања који усадејству могу допринети успостављању оквира за легитимност у доношењу одлука о развојуграда.Практична примена креираног модела је двојака. Са једне стране, концептуални моделтреба да допринесе очувању легитимности планирања и преиспитивању основе за дефинисањерегулаторног оквира, док са друге стране доприноси развоју нових метода у евалуацији процесаи продуката планирања. Истраживање треба да допринесе експертском расуђивању и да створивећу свест међу планерима и истраживачима о значају враћања добром, чиме би се дугорочнодопринело бољој општој позицији планера у друштву, али и ширем друштвеном разумевањуThe main research goal is to reassess the notion of the good and to re-establish its constituentrole in planning. The starting hypothesis is that the good is the basis for the existence of planning as anethical activity, hence that, without believing that planning can contribute to better city development,the need for planning will disappear. Given the value of the good for planning, it is expected that, assuch, holds a central position in the scientific debate about the essence and the role of planning in thecontemporary context. From this conviction, the significance is given to the analysis of theoreticalthought as a foundation for model formation through a systematic literature review.It is believed that the diversity of theoretical standpoints could influence the creation of аnormative basis for action in practice and enable the definition of aspects that guide value judgmentabout the good in city development practice. These elements form the logical setup of the model, whichwill be applied in the analysis of specific case studies in Belgrade to test the model and to define locallyspecific conditions. Accordingly, the main expected result of the research is the contribution totheoretical knowledge and the creation of a value-based judgment model, hence establishing aframework for legitimacy in decision-making on city development.The practical application of the created model is twofold. On one hand, the conceptual modelshould contribute to maintain the legitimacy of planning and question the basis for defining theregulatory framework, while on the other hand, it should contribute to the development of newevaluation methods of planning processes and products. Research should contribute to expert reasoningand greater awareness among planners and researchers about the importance of the good, thuscontributing to a better overall position of planners in society and a broader social understanding
Architecture-Instrument: The Architecture-Machine Origins and Frameworks of Machinic Line of Thinking in Architecture
No full textThe paper will aim to introduce the format of the 'architecture-instrument' as a specific spatial model for the converged architectural artistic and scientific design research and practice. This will be performed in relation to its machinic origins or counterparts - since this form constitutes itself through different concepts of the machine variously present, applied and interpreted throughout the history within and adjacent to the architectural discipline or field of interest depending on the historical period, different machinic modalities and their attributes will be the central concern of the study. 'Architecture-machines' will be analysed in line with several criteria alongside the additional aim of tracing its genealogy and categories. Therefore, the long present 'machine paradigm in architecture' will be challenged toward its contemporary reassessment within which possible lines of development and major features of the 'architecture-instrument' could be inferred against the chosen references and theoretical notions. The experimental prototype [exo] that claimed the status of the 'architecture-instrument' in its most advanced form - integrating sentience, algorithmic control and automation, kinetic properties, adaptability, intelligent responsiveness and interaction concerning the tracked objects, systems and environmental parameters – while also attempting to redefine and question its epistemological, methodological and technical implications, will be used as a case study that has tested some of the proposed claims, providing thereby necessary empirical evidence for the arguments. The analysed examples and sources will establish a clear outline and framework of the machinic line of thinking in architecture, enabling one thus to discern and better understand the 'architecture-machine/instrument’s' semantic scopes, applied forms, constitutive properties and importance along with the disciplinary and scientific-artistic integration they imply in the current moment as a continuation of their much longer traditions
Architecture-Instrument : The Architecture-Machine Origins and Frameworks of Machinic Line of Thinking in Architecture [abstract]
Get PDFThe paper will aim to introduce the format of architecture-instrument as a specific spatial model for converged architectural, artistic, and scientific design research and practice. This will be performed in relation to its machine origins and counterparts. Since this form constitutes itself through different concepts of the machine, variously present, applied, and interpreted throughout history within and adjacent to the architectural discipline or field of interest depending on the historical period, different machine modalities and their attributes will be the central concern of the study. Architecture-machines will be analysed in line with several criteria, with the aim of tracing their genealogy and categories. Therefore, the long present machine paradigm in architecture will be challenged toward its contemporary reassessment within which possible lines of development and major features of the architecture-instrument could be inferred against the chosen references and theoretical notions.By integrating sentience, algorithmic control and automation, kinetic properties, adaptability, intelligent responsiveness, and interaction with respect to the tracked objects, systems and environmental parameters, the experimental prototype 'exo' claimed the status of the architecture-instrument in its most advanced form. It attempted to redefine and question the epistemological, methodological, and technical implications of its type and status. Based on these attributes, it has been used as a case study to test some of the proposed claims, providing thereby necessary empirical evidence and arguments. Other analysed examples and sources established a clear outline and framework of the machine-line of thinking in architecture. They enabled one to discern and better understand the architecture-machine's or instrument's semantic scope, applied forms, constitutive properties, and importance, along with the disciplinary and scientific-artistic integration that the concept implies in the current moment and as a continuation of its long theoretical tradition.Postoji neslaganje u ISBN broju na samoj publikaciji i u Cobiss bazi

The system's components have been algorithmically and mechanically tempered: the frequency scale/diagram uncovers the ways by which the complete spectrum analysis and filtering are performed in a 'black box'; sensing modules identify, allocate and track the sources of the detected signals, while the information thus obtained is processed, archived and translated into the architectural kinetic response. Instrument's dynamic performance creates specific aesthetic experience while conducting scientific measuring, analysis, and environmental mapping.Future Architecture Fair 2020, within the Future Architecture Platform, 2020 (Future Architecture, Co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union) ; Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO) - Platform Coordinator ; Matevž Čelik Vidmar - Platform Leader ; Milan Dinevski - Project Manager and Future Architecture Fair Coordinator (Pitch Cocktails Moderator) ; Milan Dinevski and Damjan Kokalevski - Editors of the Future Architecture Book ; Photo Credits: MAO (https://www.flickr.com/photos/54395392@N06/albums/with/72157711930131838).
