The restorative effects of multi-sensory open space design – the example of Japanese gardens
No full textThe primary health issues of modern urban lifestyle are stress-related and can lead to serious dam- age to both physical and mental wellbeing. In this context, the topic of restorative effects of natural elements in the paper aims to expand the knowledge base regarding different relations between the characteristics of urban design, sensorial aspects of space and their therapeutic and healing effect. Focusing on users’ multiple sensory dimensions, sensory parks emphasize the stimulation of various senses, en- hancing human communication with others, and positive emotional responses. Multi-sensory per- ception in a rehabilitation garden is closely related to the users’ sense of existence, emotions, emotional and existential awareness and the mental restorative effects.
The methodology is based on the focused literature review regarding theoretical concepts such as Environmental psychology, Attention Restoration Theory, Place Attachment, Restorative gardens, etc. Also, this paper will present the case study analysis, including expert observation of good practice examples of Japanese gardens and open public spaces. Therefore, this paper will examine the theories and practical examples that show the therapeutic impact that the multi-sensorial approach can have and develop guidelines for successful urban design of sensory open space will be presented
Examining the Effects of Urban Planning Practices of Embassy Buildings onto Public Spaces
Get PDFPast urban planning practices for embassy buildings have largely been
indifferent to environments and the context of cities, oftentimes causing negative effects on
the urban matrix. Implementing a more open, transparent building process for its
diplomatic outposts overseas, Japan has managed to contribute to overall city development,
quality of its public spaces and the image it holds in host countries. These processes will be
examined and findings elaborated for the new Japanese embassy in Belgrade, Serbia, how
utilizing such methodology presents an improvement, in engineering and urban planning
terms, as well as a new method of cultural sustainability
Spoznavanje urbanih mesta - prevođenje kroz dijagrame
Get PDFThe continuous theoretical development of the research area of spatial cognition is not accompanied by the practical application of the set postulates. Research challenge is recognised within the development of an appropriate way to translate the conclusions and relations of spatial cognition into a clear graphic system that enables better communication and cooperation of related disciplines. The hypothesis of the paper is that the theoretical conclusions of the analysed concept can be translated into space through visual reinterpretation – graphic processing used as a tool for review and translation. The research is conducted in two parts - the first analyses the historical development of theoretical thought about the relationship of spatial cognition and diagrams in architecture, while the second segment explores contemporary theoretical standpoints through six characteristics of schematic reasoning and validates them through relevant case study. This research aims to examine and define the process of conceptualisation of diagrams in the context of assessing cognitive variables of space. The diagram develops from a simplified graphic indication of space into an active participant in the modification of the urban environment. Research outcome is the definition of four schematisation principles, which describe concise cognitive potentials for illustrating the impact of space on the user.Kontinuirani teorijski razvoj istraživačke oblasti prostorne spoznaje nije praćen praktičnom primenom postulata. Istraživački izazov je prepoznat u razvoju odgovarajućeg načina da se zaključci i odnosi prostorne spoznaje prevedu u jasan grafički sistem koji omogućava bolju komunikaciju i saradnju srodnih disciplina. Hipoteza rada je da se teorijski zaključci analiziranog koncepta mogu prevesti u prostor vizuelnom reinterpretacijom - grafičkom obradom koja se koristi kao alat za pregled i prevođenje. Istraživanje se odvija u dva dela - prvi analizira istorijski razvoj teorijske misli o odnosu prostorne spoznaje i dijagrama u arhitekturi, dok drugi segment istražuje savremena teorijska stanovišta kroz šest karakteristika šematskog rezonovanja i validira ih kroz relevantnu studiju slučaja. Ovo istraživanje ima za cilj da ispita i definiše proces konceptualizacije dijagrama u kontekstu procene kognitivnih varijabli prostora. Dijagram se od pojednostavljene grafičke indikacije prostora razvija u aktivnog učesnika u modifikaciji urbane sredine. Ishod istraživanja je definisanje četiri principa šematizacije, koji opisuju sažete kognitivne potencijale za ilustraciju uticaja prostora na korisnika
Geometrical Breakthrough in Contemporary Architectural Design: Meta-Materiality and Fragmentation
Get PDFThe study relates two historical categories that were not previously associated in this manner. One concerns the role of geometry in the transformation of space in the Gothic architecture, where geometric line made the position of physical forces visible for the first time. The second transformation that sees the release of anxiety in challenging the perspective was done in Mannerism by instrumentalisation of the metaphor using visual means of deformation and figuration. Today we experience both historical moments in a modified form of appearance, still trying to give a formal character to the matter of materiality. As it is not possible, this approach has resulted in fragmentation in the absence of a unitary radical critique of modernity. Fragmentation and meta- materiality of contemporary architecture today represent a possible conceptualisation of space invoking all known forms of dematerialisation and disappearance of the world, including digitisation. Referring once again to the myths of the Tower of Babel, the Fall of Icarus, and the Wizard of Oz, in this experiment myth and discourse persist together, turning into the other and finding themselves in the other. Building architectural position between the extremes of the metamaterial and the fragmentary is a matter of breaking geometry of form and the idea of it.
BPM izložbeni salon [42. Salon arhitekture, 2020]
Get PDFProdajni BPM lokal se nalazi u objektu u ul. Kralja Milana br.13 u Beogradu. Izložbeni salon satova i nakita BPM je rekonstruisan u postojećem gabaritu, na nivou prizemlja i galerije. Projektom adaptacije je postavljen savremeni koncept izložbenog salona prodavnice satova za potrebe investitora. Osnovni koncept funkcionalne organizacije prostora predstavlja praćenje kretanja korisnika od ulaza, izložbenih elemenata u vitrinama, izložbenog stola za sastanke i komunikaciju sa klijentima, prodajnog pulta pa do servisnih i pratećih prostora na galeriji objekta.
Svi projektantski radovi su realizovani u svrhu unapredjenja estetike i standarda prostora – zamenjene su sve podne obloge, sva unutrašnja stolarija, završne obrade zidova, kao i postojeća tehnička infrastrukturna. Završnom obradom plafona je restaurirana orginalna dekoraciji. Svi novoprojektovani elementi nameštaja su koncipirani u minimalističkom maniru kako bi se postigao efekat jednostavnosti i estetske usaglašenosti. Formiran je konzolni zid na metalnoj podkonstrukciji od istegnutog lima, obrade natur aluminijum, dok je zid sa druge strane izložbenog stola je formiran u molerskoj tehnici beton. Novoprojektovani izgled je formiran u nameri da sa minimalnom opremom I eksponatima omogući maksimalnu transparentnost I vizuelnu dostupnost sadržaja lokala. Kolorna gama podržava estetiku I sam brend BPM kompanije. Dizajn osvetljenja prati koncept enterijera – sveden i u funkciji eksponata, sa svetiljkama na plafonu, svetiljkom na visilici iznad izložbenog stola, led trakama koje naglašavaju zidne ravni i vitrine.
Intervencijom je postignuta potreba investitora za adekvatnom prezentacijom eksponata, kako u fasadnoj ravni tako i po celom ambijentu, potencirajući osnovne postulate industrije satova- preciznost, prefinjenost u kombinaciji materijala i vrhunski dizajn.The BPM sales office is located in the building at ul. Kralja Milan No. 13 in Belgrade. The BPM watch and jewelry showroom has been reconstructed in the existing dimensions, on the ground floor and gallery level. The adaptation project established a modern concept of a watch store showroom for the needs of investors. The basic concept of the functional organization of the space is the monitoring of the movement of users from the entrance, exhibition elements in showcases, the exhibition table for meetings and communication with clients, the sales counter, and the service and support areas in the building's gallery.
All design work was carried out in order to improve the aesthetics and standards of the space - all floor coverings, all interior joinery, wall finishes, as well as the existing technical infrastructure were replaced. The original decoration was restored by finishing the ceiling. All newly designed furniture elements are conceived in a minimalist manner in order to achieve the effect of simplicity and aesthetic harmony. A cantilever wall was formed on a metal substructure made of stretched sheet metal, treated with natural aluminum, while the wall on the other side of the exhibition table was formed using the concrete painting technique. The newly designed appearance was formed with the intention of providing maximum transparency and visual accessibility of the premises' contents with minimal equipment and exhibits. The color range supports the aesthetics of the BPM company brand itself. The lighting design follows the concept of the interior - reduced to the function of exhibits, with lamps on the ceiling, a lamp on the pendant above the exhibition table, led strips that emphasize the wall surfaces and showcases.
The intervention achieved the investor's need for an adequate presentation of the exhibits, both in the facade plane and throughout the environment, emphasizing the basic postulates of the watch industry - precision, refinement in the combination of materials and top design.Photography: Relja Ivani
Heritage and Urban Design Competitions: Global Challenges and Local Experiences from Serbia
Get PDFThis research aims to open up a discussion about urban design competitions as a tool for collecting in-depth considerations and solutions for sites relevant to the local government unit. Research starts from the hypothesis that competitions are used as a part of an institutional and professional effort to maintain and provide sustainable use of heritage. The challenges that are set ahead planners are how to assure unique and site-specific solutions and still protect tangible and intangible heritage yet answer to the demands of sustainable urban development and reduce negative effects of globalization and neoliberal pressures perceivable in heritage degradation through marginalization, inadequate use, gradual decline due to unresolved ownership statuses and even overshadowing by and multiplication of identical patterns and forms. The paper will briefly review the Serbian planning context in relation to urban design competitions and consider its impact on urban development practice. The focus of the paper will be on researching the practice of initiation, evaluation, presentation, and implementation of several urban design competitions carried out for small and medium sized cities. Analysis of the above-stated stages of urban design competition could provide comprehensive insights into understanding the way how heritage is treated in different stages of planning and urban development process by different actors and institutions. This paper will argue for the value of urban competitions for a wider understanding of urban heritage, faced with various social and political pressures by recognizing specific values, their interpretation and providing a new lifespan for the inherited elements
Velika ili mala razmera - tipologija arhitektonskih izložbi održanih u Jugoslaviji (SFRJ) i njihov današnji značaj
Get PDFWith the notion that exhibitions, independently of their format or content, can always be considered as both discursive and visual platforms for the study of specific time periods, this research will provide an insight into a possible typology of architecture exhibitions that were organised socialist Yugoslavia between 1945 and 1991. The exhibitions in question were considered as collective activities, and they provide an insight into a wider context of social, economic, political and cultural events in Yugoslavia after World War Two as well as the status that architecture as practice held within them. Having in mind that we speak about various exhibitions with a large number of parameters according to which they were similar or different, this paper will point out the process of forming an exhibition typology in order to enable the classification for their systematic study. A specific study will be used to create the typology that will be applied in the process of researching the architectural exhibitions, their role and importance at the specific range in the specific time period.S obzirom na to da se izložbe, nezavisno od svog formata ili sadržaja, uvek mogu smatrati i diskurzivnom i vizuelnom platformom za proučavanje određenih vremenskih perioda, ovo istraživanje će dati uvid u moguću tipologiju izložbi arhitekture koje su organizovane u socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji između 1945. i 1991. godine. Predmetne izložbe su posmatrane kao kolektivna aktivnost, čija analiza omogućava uvid u širi kontekst društvenih, ekonomskih, političkih i kulturnih dešavanja u Jugoslaviji posle Drugog svetskog rata, kao i status koji je arhitektura kao praksa imala u njima. Imajući u vidu da se govori o različitim izložbama, sa velikim brojem parametara po kojima su bile slične ili različite, u ovom radu će se ukazati na proces formiranja izložbene tipologije, kako bi se omogućila klasifikacija za njihovo sistematsko proučavanje. U posebnoj studiji će biti urađena tipologija koja će se primenjivati u procesu istraživanja arhitektonskih izložbi, njihove uloge i značaja na određenom rasponu u određenom vremenskom periodu

Oxygen [STRAND 2020]
Get PDFProstorni sklop OXYGEN stvara ambijent koji ohrabruje povezivanje prirode i čoveka. Savremeni život u gradu ostavlja malo vremena za odlazak u prirodu. Iskustvo boravka u prirodi treba približiti čoveku i u izgrađenom prostoru, budući da u njemu provodi najveći deo dana. Povezivanje sa prirodom, makar i asocijativnim putem a ne direktnim kontaktom, doprinosi ukupnom poboljšanju zdravlja ljudi.
OXYGEN se može nazvati pregradnim elementom, ambijentom za odmor ili prostornom instalacijom. „Molekuli“ vazduha zarobljeni u instalaciji upućuju na to da korisnik zastane, dozvoli sebi pauzu da sedne, odvojen i sklonjen transparentnom poroznom pregradom, neko vreme diše duboko i uravnoteženo, okružen biljkama.
Sastoji se od čeličnih modularnih ramova koji nose blago zakrivljene obloge od polikarbonata ili akrila. Ovi akrilni elementi grade vizuelni efekat prozračnosti i poroznosti, ali u nekim pozicijama mogu poslužiti kao površine za sedenje ili kao posude za vodene biljke.
Prostorni sklop sastavljen je od modula koji se mogu rasklapati i sklapati svaki put na novi način i prema novim potrebama i aktivnostima. Ova vrsta transformabilnosti elementa poziva na fizičku aktivnost. Fizičko angažovanje u izgradnji ambijenta korisniku pruža mogućnost da učestvuje u izgradnji svog okruženja, podstiče ga na kreativno izražavanje ali i fizičko kretanje. Vreme provedeno u aranžiranju prostornog sklopa daje mogućnost za promišljanje o aktivnom uključivanju u pitanje odnosa ka okružanju, koje je ključno za budućnost naših gradova i zajednica.
Pojedinačni elementi instalacije mogu pronaći upotrebu i nezavisno od sklopa, odnosno svaki od modula/fragmenata se u odnosu na alternativnu potrebu ili događaj može organizovati u nove nezavisne celine. Sklop se može raspasti u seriju stolova, klupa, pregradnih elemenata ili polica, što omogućava novi ciklus upotrebe.
