BIG SEE Architecture Award 2019 - Semi-detached Residential Building by Biro VIA; Serbia [nagrada]
Get PDFThe residential building site is in front of the park, as well as in the neighbourhood of other housing units and diplomatic residences of the exclusive part of the city of Belgrade.
The architecture composition came from spatial analyzes which, on the one hand, have made the single form of the double house objects and, on the other hand, have made separated entrances and courtyards spaces as individual zones.
The building consists of basement, ground floor, first floor and top (reduced size) floor with a roof terrace. It is organized as two independent, vertically divided, residential units with separate pedestrian accesses from Krajiška Street and common garage entrance from Augusta Cesarca Street.
Each housing unit accommodates daytime areas (kitchen, living and dining room) with garden access on the ground level, and a library, master and two bedrooms located across first and top floors. Both units include a double height volume through ground and first floor as a contribution to the individuality of the interior architecture. Total usable area is 1000 square meters.
What makes this project one-of-a-kind? Project biggest quality is unity of architectural elements and details and natural landscapes which are creating striking spaces as a connection of environment and humans. Exploring the minimalism and the expression of natural light contrasts with construction in interior scenes invites viewers to discover and experiment with ambients on their own.Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2019 - Winner, Residential architecture, Serbia / https://bigsee.eu/semi-detached-residential-building-by-biro-via-serbia/ ...... photography: Relja Ivani

New Analytic Solutions of Queueing System for Shared-Short Lanes at Unsignalized Intersections
Get PDFDesigning the crossroads capacity is a prerequisite for achieving a high level of service with the same sustainability in stochastic traffic flow. Also, modeling of crossroad capacity can influence on balancing (symmetry) of traffic flow. Loss of priority in a left turn and optimal dimensioning of shared-short line is one of the permanent problems at intersections. A shared-short lane for taking a left turn from a priority direction at unsignalized intersections with a homogenous traffic flow and heterogeneous demands is a two-phase queueing system requiring a first in-first out (FIFO) service discipline and single-server service facility. The first phase (short lane) of the system is the queueing system M(p lambda)/M(mu)/1/infinity, whereas the second phase (shared lane) is a system with a binomial distribution service. In this research, we explicitly derive the probability of the state of a queueing system with a short lane of a finite capacity for taking a left turn and shared lane of infinite capacity. The presented formulas are under the presumption that the system is Markovian, i.e., the vehicle arrivals in both the minor and major streams are distributed according to the Poisson law, and that the service of the vehicles is exponentially distributed. Complex recursive operations in the two-phase queueing system are explained and solved in manuscript
Nodes and Networks: The Generative Role of Cultural Heritage for Urban Revival in Kikinda
Get PDFUsing heritage as a cultural artifact in city development is not new, but little has been explored about how urban heritage can be utilized as new generative value and a new planning instrument for the revival of cities. The purpose of this paper is to show the creative and the generative use of urban heritage, both for the extension of cultural and tourist offer of the city and for the improvement of the quality of life in physical, social and economic terms for the community. The case study method was used for the adaptive reuse of projects for heritage buildings and urban revival in Kikinda. We argue that urban heritage has to be used, bearing in mind its spatial, economic and social sustainability aspects, and become a generator of urban revival. We go beyond recognition of the value of heritage as a cultural artifact that should solely be preserved and used as a static element in urban development, and view it more as a dynamic asset for city revival processes. We found that for the heritage nodes to be utilized as the new generative value for the revival of cities, they have to be perceived from the network perspective, thus influencing the urban environment in a sustainable way
New Concepts and Instruments for the Urban-Rural Continuum: Exploring Through Education
No full textThe chapter presents and discusses the process and results of collaboration between an academic institution
and local government in students’ masters’ theses and integrated urban development projects for
urban-rural continuum of the territory of the City of Pančevo, Serbia. The chapter has four main parts: 1)
a brief overview of the theoretical framework for multilevel governance; 2) the background, focusing on
the national policy; 3) applied educational model; and 4) 11 students’ projects dealing with the urbanrural
continuum. Recommendations are made for continuing application of and research into potential
teaching methods that promote meaningful interaction and practical and problem-oriented instruction
that contribute to an understanding of contemporary problems of balanced urban-rural development.
The conclusion discusses process and product outcomes, differentiating benefits for all those involved,
as well as the obstacles and challenges encountered
Transition of collective land in modernistic residential settings in New Belgrade, Serbia
Get PDFTurbulent periods of transition from socialism to neoliberal capitalism, which have a ected
the relationships between holders of power and governing structures in Serbia, have left a lasting
impact on the urban spaces of Belgrade’s cityscape. The typical assumption is that the transformation of the urban form in the post-socialist transition is induced by planning interventions which serve to legitimize these neoliberal aspirations. The methodological approach of this paper is broadly structured as a chronological case analysis at three levels: the identification of three basic periods of institutional change, historical analysis of the urban policies that permitted transformation of the subject area, and morphogenesis of the selected site alongside the Sava River in New Belgrade. Neoliberal aspirations are traced through the moments of destruction and moments of creation as locally specific manifestations of neoliberal mechanisms observable through the urban form. Comparison of all three levels of the study traces how planning and political decisions have a ected strategic directions of development and, consequently, the dynamics and spatial logic of how new structures have invaded the street frontage. The paper demonstrates that planning interventions in the post-socialist transition period, guided by the neoliberal mechanisms, has had a profound impact on the super-block morphology
Making Objects of Altered Aesthetics
Get PDFAesthetic thinking constitutes an integral part of the architectural perception of things. It is equally important for contemporary design which is based on modernistic methodology, as it used to be for a classical skill, so called art of spatial shaping. An aesthetic comprehension is inherent in an ideal design, but the stratification of aesthetic value is achieved later, through expansion of the design process. Architecture strives to overcome the gap between the ideal values of the form, (internal guarantee of its future balance and external norms) which are contributed to visual facts of its duration as of the moment of its materialization in space and time of the culture. It seems that the aesthetic aspect of the object is thus truly crystalized and able to obtain a sense of objective value only in the atmosphere filled with divergent movements between semi-conscious, conscious and unconscious markers. This is the atmosphere which resolutely signifies alliteration of ideally shaped architecture and breaking of its conceptual unity. (Gillo Dorfles, Elogio della disarmonia, 1986) To be honest, precisely the trust in visual totality of things is one of the icons of modern architecture and is entirely contrary to the feeling that the petrified ships are melting on their own on the sunny modernistic horizon. Although in an aesthetic sense the architectural design still relies on the methodology the coordinates of which were established by the modern movement, (Rafael Moneo on John Soane and building on history, 2018) in order to overcome the paradox of material reality, the modern narrative constantly examined new figures of speech, thus creating difference within. Such aesthetic procedure turns practice into theory, and theory into practice. Programmatic idealism, which would verify the identity or the role of a modern architect, is now reflected in shifted identity, in non-identical or even anti-identical. This altered status activates the aesthetic capacities of not only (one) architect but the architecture itself, offering the possibility to rematerialize own duration. (Nicolas Bourriaud, L’exform, 2017
One Theory of Broken Architecture
Get PDFBroken architecture is fulfilling the aesthetical gap made by its intention to envelope life and to be enveloped by the same. The theory of certain state can reach boundaries far beyond physical appearance touching fields of narratives, immaterial and surreal. It’s altered (problematic, questionable) reflection to the rest of the world is the fountainhead of its designing values. Despite being contradict to its own reality, architecture of such characteristics cannot exist without a clear conceptual constellation of the future of that world. Therefore, this theoretical approach casts light on the practice which is kept alive only by the continuity of the memories of its pre-formed aesthetical conditions.
By recalling the mannerist liberation from the rational plan, we can still operate within ideas of Paladio’s stylistic layering of the architectural plasticity (Villa Foscari) going further into Tschumi’s notion of the state of deconstruction (Villa Savoya) up to Bo Bardi’s artificial naturalness (Casa de Vidro). Today we are facing a new necessity: to live within the broken as a new form of architectural resistance
The multiplex typologies of shrinking cities
Get PDFThe globally known concept of shrinking cities has matured last years. A lot of international
scientific knowledge has been collected and the local profiling of shrinking cities, as well as
the overview of their extent and geographical distribution have been conducted in almost all
countries and regions that are facing this phenomenon. However, there are still some ‘empty
niches’ in the concept which can be found for the future research. The most of them are those
that bridge different local and the regional meanings of a shrinking city and/or urban shrinkage.
Therefore, they are crucial for the further progress in global knowledge about urban shrinkage.
One of these open questions in the concept of shrinking cities is their typology. More concretely,
typologies, because the phenomenon has become so common that multiplex typologies can
be identified. Furthermore, there are many attempts to form local and regional typologies
or the typologies based on the most prominent criteria, i.e. on the significant determiners of
urban shrinkage. The aim of this paper is to review global knowledge regarding the present
typologies of shrinking cities and to understand their complexity and relations. As an outcome,
the presentation of different typologies of shrinking cities implies their better understanding,
but even more it can contribute in the recent proposals how to find appropriate responses on
urban shrinkage
Searching for the code of New Belgrade’s open space: case study of Block 37
Get PDFNew Belgrade was among the biggest building sites in Europe after World War II, and especially
during the 1960s and the 1970s. Being located within the capital of former Yugoslavia, this
entirely new part of the city also represented a statement in establishing a modern socialistic
state. New Belgrade was planned and built in correspondence with the postulates of modernist
urbanism and according to the new contemporary set of urban indicators, with an orthogonal
matrix consisting of units called super-blocks, which became independent local communities
to a certain extent. The continuity of the open spaces that are formed by the built structures
within the super-blocks is one of the most interesting aspects of these blocks and this paper
aims to highlight them as one of New Belgrade’s grates qualities.
The main goal of this paper is to explore the structure of open space of these super-blocks. This
will be done through the set of urban indicators such as: percentage of open space (green areas,
sport and recreation areas, traffic areas, pedestrian paths, etc.), floor space index, lot coverage,
etc. The paper will also examine the current threat of occupation by privatization of the open
space of New Belgrade and the division of the super-block structure into smaller pieces
