Recreational Quality of Urban Riverfronts: Why Design Matters? [predavanje po pozivu štampano u celini]
Get PDFIn planning and design theory, urban waterfronts are seen as special places that are vital for environmental, social and economic health and sustainability of cities. In contemporary practice, their development is therefore oriented towards activities that help develop better connections with nature, contribute to formation of new city image, and celebrate urban life.
Enabling urban recreation in waterfront areas has been recognised as important for achieving these goals. But how we understand what urban recreation is, and why it is important for urban life and development, shapes how we define and evaluate its quality. We argue that for developing vital and healthy cities, recreational quality of urban waterfronts should be considered through three dimensions that reflect its nature and purpose: use, environmental and integrative dimensions.
In this paper, specific segments of urban riverfronts in Belgrade are presented, their recreational quality is analysed and compared through the new framework, and is further related to their urban design characteristics. The research shows that urban design plays an active role in achieving recreational qualities of urban riverfronts, since it enables, supports or hinders actions and relations that can be made and re-made in urban space, by shaping its structure, elements and connections at different spatial scales.keynote lecture, https://www.bab.rs/keynoters-2
Seduction pavilion [BAB 2019]
Get PDFThe main idea of this project is to celebrate female beauty with spatial interpretation of lightness, softness, gentleness and ephemerality. Therefore, spatial intervention is conceived as installation of many soft and light curtains in constant gentle flittering while starlet pictures are being projected on them.
The idea of temporary exhibition affirms the ephemerality of starlets in terms of light projections instead of static presentation. Accordingly, tactility is one of the main motives in usage of soft, bright curtains. Flittering curtains could be touched by visitors and could touch visitors while walking through exhibition. Lightweight construction is connected to existing ceiling infrastructure of lightning or could be attached directly to the ceiling. Curtains are hanging freely with possibility of position changing in accordance to the needs at the time.
Images of starlets are being intermittently projected on the curtains creating fluid atmosphere of light, motion and gentle fabric tactility and celebrating the character of seduction and feminine beauty
I grandi magazzini “Belgrado”: decadenza, sfide e nuove prospettive di un vecchio modello commerciale
No full textSet within the brother context of consumerism culture coming from the West in the 1960s, “Belgrade” department stores model is perceived as partly autonomous creation, a result of a socialist regime of Yugoslavia. This model brings with itself specific morphological characteristics regarding allocation, organization, and design and as such has left a radical and lasting impact on urban space that is the most evident in the transformation of central city areas in small and medium towns across Serbia. The research reflects on those common characteristics and conducts a more detailed analysis of contextual circumstances and challenges that arose in a singular case. Finally, new perspectives were analyzed through actions and projects that are established to find a solution, shed new light and bring back old significance to the department store that they had for society and the city l. The results of this paper come in the form of providing an appropriate perspective on creating a different approach to the old commercial model observed and present in a contemporary context
Potentials of Nature-Based Solutions for Improvement of Resilience and Landscape Valorization in Urban Environments
Get PDFThe relevance of this research topic is a reflection of a need to redefine the concept of nature in
architecture and urbanism so as to acknowledge the current environmental and climate issues and the changing position of nature in contemporary culture. Today, the built environment puts very strong pressure on the natural environment, causing climate change and degradation of ecosystems to evolve as a consequence of such tendencies. Keeping in mind that architecture and urbanism produce the
environment for humans and at the same time study the relationship between people and their
environment, both built and natural, we will argue that architectural and urban design are at the very core of the problem between humans, the natural and built environment, and the changes that occur in these relations. Furthermore, recent decades have seen a constant emphasis on the importance of nature, especially natural elements and principles, within design in order to achieve environmental and cultural sustainability, i.e., harmony between architecture, nature and users. However, the practice of application of these methods and knowledge in architecture still hasn’t been developed. The focus of this paper is the implementation of nature-based solutions in the built environment, particularly from the aspects of improving resilience, well-being and landscape valorization. This paper deals with the identification of the key potentials and a range of benefits of ecosystem services, but also of the crucial barriers and limitations impeding the implementation of this concept in contemporary cities.https://city-futuresiv2019.exordo.com/programme/presentations

Using straw-bales for energy saving
Get PDFSavremeno društvo se suočava sa novim i drugačijim izazovima. Obnovljivih resursa je sve
manje. Životna sredina je zagađena. Potrebe savremenog čoveka su sve veće i njihovo
zadovoljenje zahteva sve više energije i materijalnih resursa. Proizvodnja materijala koji se
koriste za izgradnju objekata zahteva prirodne resurse i veliku količinu energije. U
eksploataciji objekata postoji potreba za grejanjem i hlađenjem, za šta je takođe
neophodna energija. Moguće rešenje je upotreba prirodnih materijala koji su tradicionalno
bili primenjivani vekovima, a koji su potisnuti razvojem industrije i širokom primenom
betona i čelika. Slama, kao materijal, postoji više od 2000 godina i predstavlja nusproizvod
pri uzgajanju pšenice, raži, pirinča. Proizvodnja slame ne zahteva primarnu energiju.
Karakteristike balirane slame su takve da nije potrebna dodatna termička i zvučna izolacija.
Primenom balirane slame moguće je materijalom, koji je gotovo besplatan, postići značajne
uštede energije i pomoći u očuvanju životne sredine.Modern society is faced with new challenges. Renewable resources are disappearing. The
environment is polluted. The production of materials for construction requires natural
resources and a great amount of energy. In the exploitation of buildings a lot of energy is
used for heating and cooling. Possible solution lies in the application of natural materials
that were traditionally used for centuries and were suppressed by the industry’s
development and the extended use of concrete and steel. Straw, as a material, exists for
more than 2000 years. It is a by-product in the growing of wheat, rye, and rice. The
production of straw doesn’t need primary energy. The characteristics of straw-bales are
such that no additional thermal and sound insulation is needed. With the application of
straw-bales, a material that is almost free, it is possible to achieve significant savings in
energy and to help preserve the environment
Urban regeneration : Smederevo riverfront through the application of information communication technologies
Get PDFSmederevo has great potential for development - cultural, historical, industrial and natural heritage. In this sense, as a generator for the maximal utilization of all potentials, information and communication technologies (ICT) have been applied in certain places - "points" in the urban structure of the city. On the points. ICT equipment can be used to view the elements of virtual and augmented reality - wildlife and history of the Danube, the Smederevo Fortress in the Middle Ages. Smederevo in the future with new elements of infrastructure and robotics (cyberpunk). etc. The application of ICT has also been achieved in urban design - elevated footpaths for a new view of the city and fortress with digital equipment redevelopment of railway wagons and new materialization of thermochromic pigment paving stones and furniture that changes color under the
influence of many WIFl users or their moods. At the end, ICT tools are a base for the comprehensive urban regeneration of the central part of Smederevo Riverfront

Culture and youth networks for releasing urban potentials
Get PDFThe paper presents an overview of the possibilities for application of networks and collaboration
in planning and urban governance in the case of complex and changing places in a specific local
transition context. Culture and youth networks were developed through six master students’ projects in the City of Smederevo within the thematic framework ‘Strengthening Cultural Identity in the Danube Region’ under INTERREG IV transnational cooperation programme. Network governance represents one type of governance. Culture and youth networks are used in urban governance due to their spatial dimension and the results they may achieve. The main aim of this paper is to point out at some of the advantages of network coordination within students’ integrated urban projects identified as: improved capacities to solve complex problems, increased recognition and competitiveness, more efficient use of resources, and development of other governance and
planning instruments. Completed students’ projects point to the possibility of applying networks
as urban governance instruments for activation of underused urban potentials, incorporation of
new activities and land uses and establishing standards for entering European regional networks,
integrating spatial interventions with actors and resources, and proposing new governance practices, which aim to enable innovation, as well as complementarity with traditional planning instruments
