Boundaries of reality in the process of architectural design
Get PDFStarting from the fact that the reality of the world of projections is comprehensive only when its architectural reality is
created outside that reality, to become a new reality within reality, the paper addresses establishment of the relationship
between an architect designer and reality, by his double presence within and outside reality. The existence of reality
is questionable, because the actuality of the world of projections, which, though present in reality, often does not have
meaning and is therefore created outside reality, only to exist again with meaning. In that relation, as the real world
in reality, it is expressed also as an unreal world outside reality, whose imaginary reality is studied with architectural
projection in a lifelike scope of reality. That way, the meaning of the projection in the process of architectural design is
checked by projecting its meaning outside reality, while in the transition of an architectural design from one reality into
another, the architect designer also develops his/her creative role, by reading and connecting individual (personal)
and collective (universal) codes of the world of projections, which exists as two-folded and realistic in the reality scope
Architectural work of Aleksandar Deroko – beauty of emotional creativity
No full textThis paper studies significant and forgotten, but not less important, built and unrealised designs by Serbian architect Aleksandar Deroko. It seeks to achieve a continuous view in dealing with Deroko's architectural work versus the historical discontinuity of political, territorial-geographic and social circumstances. It is impossible to separate Deroko as an architect from Deroko as a scholar, researcher, historian of architecture and art, an academic professor, painter, writer, chronicler of his time, protector, conservator and historiographer of Serbia cultural heritage. The main aim of this paper is to apply comprehensive research approach within which his work in the field of architectural design will be considered in a complemenraty and pluralistic way. Deroko's architectural projects examined represent distillate of Deroko's erutide personality, which casts shadow on relevant questions of Serbian history of architecture placement: How to understand it, observe and examine it, from Yugoslav or Serbian perspective, from the position of continuity or discontinuity, through characterictics of general or particular
Book review: Urban morphology: an introduction to the study of the physical form of cities
Get PDFAlthough urban morphology as a field of knowledge and research has evolved significantly over recent decades, which is evident in numerous scientific papers, journals and conferences held in this field, there is a lack of books that can be used as a “tool” for students and young researchers who are interested in studying basic features of urban form and urban morphology as the science of urban form.
Book Urban morphology: An introduction to the study of the physical form of cities, edited by Vitor Oliveira, presents the first book in the Urban book Series of Oliveira’s work and commitment not only providing a systematic treatment of basic attributes of urban morphology and its general understanding, such as his work presented within the book, but also in revealing teaching methods and introducing to the work and thinking of the most prominent urban morphologies, presented in hi two older books - Teaching Urban Morphology (Oliviera 2018) and J .W. R. Whitehand and the historico-geographical approach to urban morphology (Oliviera, 2019)
Јапанска Soft Power архитектура: (не)намерно и неочекивано у политици културне размене
Get PDFStates’ cultural policies for international relations take various
forms, both intangible and tangible. This paper will focus
on the latter, namely, exported architectural manifestation
utilized as cultural negotiation tools. In this research, exported
architecture is considered to be any built (realized) spatial
manifestations, non-native to the county in which it is placed.
Subsequently, architecture is viewed and examined as a cultural
resource, having the power to influence bilateral relations
presenting a new term, ‘soft power architecture’ as conceived,
exported, and state-controlled spatial manifestation, with a
clear set of goals inscribed within cultural relations policies.
The notion of architecture-as-a-negotiating-instrument
between various actors is introduced, borrowing from Joseph
S. Nye’s definition of the term “soft power” postulated as, in
the most basic terms, as the ability to attract, with attraction
often leading to acquiescence.These typologies have a
profound impact and yet the policy makers remain unaware
of the importance of architectural manifestations as cultural
resources. Requirements of the re-conceptualization of the
state’s policies regarding the planning, implementation and
management processes for diplomatic-consular outpost will be
discussed. Lastly, the case study of the new Japanese embassy
in Belgrade, Serbia, will be examined, noting particularities
of its processes, arguing an unintentional paradigmatic shift,
providing a theoretical and methodological framework for
future research.Међународни односи и пратеће стратегије културне размене
могу попримати различите облике, како нематеријалне, тако
и опипљиве. Овај рад ће се фокусирати на другу категорију,
наиме, извезене архитектонске манифестације које се могу
користити као оруђе у политици културне размене. У овом
истраживању, за извезену архитектуру сматра се било која
изграђена (реализована) просторна манифестација, која
потекла из окружења у којем је смештена. Архитектура ће
бити посматрана и испитивана као културни ресурс, који
има моћ утицаја на билатералне односе, представљајући
нови термин, „Soft Power архитектура“ који подразумева
пројектовану, извезену и државно-контролисану просторну
манифестацију, са јасним циљевима који одражавају тежње
политике културне размене. Уводи се и појам архитектуре

способности привлачења, са привлачношћу која често
води ка прихватању ставова друге стране. Ове типологије
могу имати снажан утицај по више основа, првенствено на
просторну интеракцију и националну репутацију, међутим,
креатори политике и стратегија остају несвесни важности
раније поменутих архитектонских манифестација као
културних ресурса. Чланак ће поставити теоретске оквире

методолошки оквир за будућа истраживања
Implementing sustainable planning of Smederevo territory through concepts of agro tourism and healthy city
Get PDFThe chapter presents the process, methodology and results during the development of Master thesis
and Master project in 2017-18., at the Master course Integral Urbanism – Faculty of Architecture,
University of Belgrade, under the topic: Sustainable urban and spatial planning as a support for
cultural identity development of the territory of the city of Smederevo. The focus of the chapter is to
enlighten the pedagogical methodology, and educational and creative process which led to high
quality results – projects for, and with the support of the local community of Smederevo.
The background research is rooted in ecological sustainability as the most important and possibly
the most developed and implemented aspect, while other aspects of sustainability are treated as
secondary. Although the ecological sustainability was mentioned 30 years ago, it remained one
of the biggest concerns for the territory development and planning, equally important in urban,
as well as in protected natural areas. Having in mind the resources, but also constrains of the
territory of Smederevo, it was a challenge to test the applicability of different sustainable models
through the development of Master thesis/projects. The complex structure of this case study of the
territory showed conflicted land uses, and underutilized or derelict zones, which urged for a specific
approach, detailed information base and insight into the valid planning documentation. At the
same time, it was an exhaustless source of inspiration and ideas. The result was a comprehensive
and multi-levelled approach to the urban planning and urban design solutions, which are feasible,
implementable and acknowledged by the local authorities and experts
Sociological dimension of urban plans: general urban plan of Priština from 1953, arch. Dragutin Partonić
Get PDFThis study aims to define the importance of a sociological component in urban plans and determine its impact on the overall quality of urban documentation and subsequently on the quality of urban life. Social transformations which took place after the Second World War, new social and political order in Kosovo, within which Priština became the main administrative city, resulted in a need for new administrative, cultural, social and other facilities, which indispensably caused development of first urban plans.The specific aim of this study is directed towards identification and determination how the General Urban Plan of Priština from 1953 designed by Dragutin Partonić, professor at the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade, affected important social and cultural changes of the city. Actually, this document also presents the beginning of modernization of Priština
Orient/East-Med Corridor: Challenges and Potentials
Get PDFAs defined by the European Commission, the Orient/East-Med Corridor is one of the most significant European transport axes. However, it runs through states with low economic performance and poor infrastructural networks; it coincides with the Western Balkan and eastern Mediterranean migration routes; finally, administrative bottlenecks along the corridor are common practice. Despite such a status, it is one of the key areas for international investments in transport hubs and lines. Therefore, in order to find proper solutions for complex problems along the corridor, an overview of the main conditions that influence the corridor development as well as local requirements is given as follows. First, in order to clarify the strategic position of Europe against transcontinental relations, the main trade, economic and demographic statistical indicators are presented. Second, a brief overview of transport and technical conditions relevant for the countries along the corridor are indicated. Finally, a close interaction between transport and spatial development in the cities along the corridor is briefly presented. Such a multi-scalar perspective gives a hint of the dynamics of transnational cooperation, as well as the cooperation process among many stakeholders from various domains, mainly transport and spatial planning
Technological solutions for covering archaeological sites in order to present mosaics in situ – case studies
Get PDFGreat importance is given to the development and reconsideration of existing and creation
of new approaches to the protection, preservation and management of heritage. This is a
challenge for many professions involved in these activities, and therefore for the architectural
profession. There are various approaches when it comes to protecting the heritage. In the
case of archaeological sites, protective shelters are often a solution. Technological solutions
for covering ancient sites in order to present mosaics in situ are discussed in the paper. The
distinction between the two concepts of coverage is taken into consideration. The first concept
is based on covering the site using protective structure without closing the space, while the
second concept implies covering the site by forming a closed space. The subject of this paper
is a comparative analysis of two case studies that represent the two concepts of covering the
archaeological area in order to protect and present mosaics in situ. This analysis will examine
the applied concepts, technical solutions, used materials and structures to cover the site. The
aim of the study is to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the solutions, as well as to
determine whether their performance has resulted in the devastation of the site or contributed
to its higher quality presentation
The Danube Riverside Development in the Iron Gates Gorge, Serbia, between Socio-economic needs and Protected Ecosystem
Get PDFThe Iron Gates are the longest gorge of the Danube, a major waterway in Europe. For Serbia, the Danube is both important as a transport corridor and tourist route, which is also applied for the Iron Gates part. In the other side, the Iron Gates are the largest national park in Serbia, with protected river and mountain ecosystems, plus many cultural heritage sites, which significantly restricts riverside development. Third, it is also a region with its local population, settlements, and economy. This overlapping makes any future planning perspective for the Iron Gates Region very complex and with expected compromises.
The current spatial plans for the Iron Gates recognise this complexity. This is particularly visible along the Danube riverside. The river is certainly the main access to the gorge and the main driver of desirable socioeconomic development for local communities thereof. However, the development along the river is impossible in many parts due to protected riverside areas or rough terrain. Remaining parts have the other problems with inadequate plot organisation. Therefore, the implementation of the plans carries many challenges at lower levels.
The aim of this paper is to present this discrepancy and offer new ways for concrete solutions. It compares the main planning actions to facilitate local socio-economic development and the newest efforts of local authorities to implement them for riverside as a critical resource for the region. The final highlights are dedicated to the actions that are unorthodox and thereby innovative for riverside development in unique ecosystems
Neither Byzantine nor Serbian: Byzantine Architecture in Serbian Historiography of the Late-Nineteenth and Early-Twentieth Century
No full textSince the birth of modern Serbian national historiography, the encounters and relationships between medieval Serbia and Byzantine culture, art and architecture have preoccupied historians, who devised a thesis about peculiarly "national" variants of Byzantine style. However, the historiographical accounts on Serbo-Byzantine architectural relationships dealt more with issues of Byzantium as a value-loaded construct than withhistorical realities in medieval Serbia. The historiographical construction of Byzantine architecture in Serbian historiography represented an ideological tool par excellence, because it was an integral part of the nation's historicity and modernity, political formations and frontiers. Firstly, the cultural construct of Byzantium was highly instrumental in the Serbian national narrative, torn between a need for cultural authenticity and an imperial mission. Secondly, the relationships between Serbian and Byzantine culture, as seen by art and architectural historians of the late XIX and early XX century, corresponded to a recognizable ideological agenda inextricably linked with the idea of the restoration of medieval "empire". It was this complex image of Byzantium and Byzantine architecture that became useful for crafting an idea of medieval Serbia which would, and should, represent a predecessor of a modern on the cusp of its political and territorial expansion
