За педесетпет година постојања Галерија савремене ликовне уметности Ниш је захваљујући различитим врстама набавке (откупи, поклони, Ликовна колонија „Сићево“, Графичка радионица „Сићево“) формирала импозантан фонд који тренутно броји 1798 уметничких дела, разврстаних у шест збирки.
Будући да је откуп са становишта вредности дела најсигурнији и најрелевантнији начин набавке, нишка Галерија је током првих двадесетак година постојања са бројних изложби откупљивала дела за своје збирке али је овај процес насилно прекинут почетком деведесетих година XX века, гашењем градских и републичких фондова за откуп уметничких дела услед погоршане економске ситуације у земљи. Након дуге паузе, Министарство културе Републике Србије је од 2014. године почело да расписује годишње конкурсе за „финансирање уметничких дела за потребе збирки уметничкиг галерија и музеја“. Редовно учествујући на овим конкурсима ГСЛУ Ниш је средствима Министарства културе, закључно са 2023. годином, откупила 61 дело од тога 22 слике, 16 скулптура, 15 дела нових медија и 8 радова на папиру. Пошто је једанаест дела откупљених 2014. године било излагано на предходној изложби Аквизиција, овом приликом јавности први пут заједно представљамо све слике и скулптуре откупљене у периоду од 2015 до 2023. године
Urban planning along canals in Vojvodina – Sombor case
Последњих година се у српском урбанизму доста говори о развоју приобаља и дуж водотокова. Под овим се обично мисли на развој дуж већих река, за које је урађено и много просторних и урбанистичких планова. Са друге стране, каналска мрежа у Војводини, дугачка готово 1000 километара, је некако остала у сенци. Ово је нарочито видљиво ако се канали не сагледавају из угла развоја привреде, посебно индустрије, већ као места за друштвене, културне и еколошке обнове. Град Сомбор је 2024. године укључен у европски пројекат УРБАКТ-а који се бави развојем водене културне баштине, а „полигон“ за истраживање и стратешко урбанистичко планирање је Велики бачки канал, који пресеца подручје града. Главни циљ укључења у пројекат је управо да се провере и стратешки определе мере за његов одрживи развој у будућности и то путем партиципације са актерима од локалног и регионалног значаја. На овај начин Сомбор може постати узор за низ градова и општина Војводине који се налазе на обалама бројних канала.Waterfront and waterway development has become a “hot topic” in Serbian last years. This usually refers to
development along larger rivers, for which many spatial and urban plans have been created. On the other side, the canal network
in Vojvodina, almost 1,000 kilometres long, has somehow remained in the shadow of it. This is especially noticeable if the canals
are not considered from the aspect of economic development, especially industry, but as places for social, cultural and ecological
renewal. The city of Sombor was included in the European URBACT project in 2024. The project is based on the development of
hydro-cultural heritage and the ‘test ground’ for research and strategic urban planning is the Great Bačka Canal, which crosses the
city area. The main goal of inclusion in this project is precisely to check and strategically determine measures for its sustainable
development in the future by the participation of local and regional stakeholders. In this way, Sombor can become a role-model for
a number of the cities and municipalities in Vojvodina that are located on the banks of its numerous canals
Ecological sustainability and healthy cities: the importance of open green spaces in urban environments - a case study of the municipality New Belgrade
Модерни начин живота, висок ниво стреса и загађења негативно утичу на опште јавно здравље људи, првенствено становништва који живе у урбаним срединама. Нова парадигма здравља, као и светска здравствена организација указују на значај превенције и дефинишу здравље као стање ”потпуног психичког и физичког благостања човека”. Значај здравља као основног ресурса модерног доба дефинисан је и кроз Циљеве одрживог развоја, тачније циљ 3. ”Добро здравље”. Еколошки аспект одрживости уско је повезан са очувањем животне средине, а здрава животна средина дефинише узрочнике болести и обољења јер људи попримају стимулансе из свог окружења путем псхихо-неуро-ендокриних механизама у организму. Ови узрочници се углавном базирају на нивоу стреса, а велики број међународних студија је потврдио управо природни елементи из окружења, као што су: зеленило, вода, свеж ваздух, боје и звукови из природе позитивно утичу на стресоре из окружења.
Простори у градовима који имају претходно поменуте позитивне карактеристике јесу отворени зелени простори. На територији општине Нови Београд налазе се различити типови ових простора, од којих су најчешће коришћени линеарни паркови дуж обале река Дунава и Саве, као и тачкасти паркови унутар мега блокова.
Овај рад се бави анализом, и истраживањем значаја отворених зелених простора Новог Београда у контексту утицаја на кориснике, а пре свега са аспекта начина и фреквенције коришћења ових простора као и субјективне перцепције корисника.
Очекивани резултати пружају могућност за адекватну адаптацију и могуће унапређење физичких и функционалних карактеристика отворених зелених простора са циљем активнијег коришћења ових простора у урбаним срединама.The modern lifestyle, high levels of stress, and pollution negatively affect the general public health of individuals, primarily the population living in urban environments. The new health paradigm, as well as the World Health Organization, emphasizes the importance of prevention and defines health as a state of "completemental and physical well-being." The significance of health as a fundamental resource in modern times is also defined through the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal 3, "Good Health." The ecological aspect of sustainability is closely linked to environmental preservation, and a healthy environment defines the causes of diseases or illnesses, as people absorb stimuli from their surroundings through psycho-neuro-endocrine mechanisms in the body. These causes are primarily based on stress levels, and many international studies have confirmed that natural elements from the environment, such as greenery, water, fresh air, colors, and sounds from nature, positively affect stressors in the surroundings.
The spaces in cities that possess these above mentioned positive characteristics are open green spaces. In the territory of the municipality New Belgrade, various types of these space sexist, while most commonly used are linear parks along the banks of the Danube and Sava rivers, as well as small parks within the characteristic mega-blocks.
This paper focuses on analyzing and researching the importance of open green spaces in New Belgrade in the context of their impact on users, particularly from the perspective of frequency and dynamic of usage, as well as users' subjective perceptions.
The expected results provide the opportunity for adequate adaptation and potential improvement of the physical and functional characteristics of open green spaces, with the aim of encouraging more active usage of the sespaces in urban environments
Community creativity booster method
In the context of a post-socialist society in transition, where support systems for local
communities are not sufficiently developed, there are many weak points within the decision-making
processes for development of certain open public space on local level. One of them is that
participation of the youth in such processes is not established in any formal sense. Guided by this
thought, the ‘Community creativity booster method’ was established through the collaboration of
two research units of the University of Belgrade - Faculty of Architecture (hereinafter UB-AF). After
that, we continued developing it through several subjects within regular classes of UB-AF, which
opens up possibilities for its further improvement. This method could be used in various ways, and it
can influence strengthening the sense of community and belonging to society as well as to
stimulate regeneration and strengthening the capacity of institutions while establishing relations
between the civil, public and private sectors of society through a cyclical participatory process. Its
main goal is to stimulate and engage different generations and institutions to participate in the
process of improvement, development or placemaking within the open public space which certain
local community is using trough youth engagement. In the entire process, the academic institution
should use an enabling leadership style in its role of process facilitator
Participatory Urban Design – The Example of International Project Clicche
Throughout the cycle of CliCCHE project (January 2022 – January 2024), University of Belgrade – Faculty of Architecture was applying its principles and results in regular classes and research and thus widely promoted the mission, vision and values of the CliCCHE project within its own academic community. In addition, during that entire period, most of the practical research and educational activities were realized in the city of Valjevo, the local academic partner of the project, in permanent cooperation with the most relevant institutions from the public, private and civil sectors. One of the main aims was achieved - development and testing of new experiences in teaching and studying at technical faculties of European universities in order to improve knowledge about strategies for adapting to climate change and for mitigating the impact on human health within urban regeneration projects. Therefore, it was a very significant experience for the students as well as for the teaching staff beside all challenges that were emerging during the process. The aim of the research is to explore the topic of urban health through the results of an international project and to present a possible methodology for implementing specific teaching techniques in accordance with the knowledge gained during two years of work on a scientific project. Accordingly, the scientific contribution of the paper refers to additional steps in the process of disseminating the results achieved in a scientific project
Preservation and protection of archaeological sites, medieval structures and their remains
In contemporary architectural and conservation practice, the focus is on sustainable preservation
of cultural heritage and the functional integration of historical buildings. It is essential to secure and
protect sites containing archaeological remains and the ruins of medieval buildings from further deterioration.
This type of protection aims to preserve these sites from disintegration caused by earthquakes,
fi res, weather conditions, or general wear and tear.
Interventions can include constructing temporary or permanent canopies or other forms of structures
to protect the site from the direct effects of atmospheric conditions (rain, snow), solar radiation, and
pollution. Such measures not only mitigate ongoing decay but also create conditions conducive to
conservation work, allowing rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts to progress without obstruction.
The objective of this study is to develop a comprehensive methodology for designing and building
temporary protective structures. By observing and analysing existing approaches and evaluating their
results, the study establishes guidelines for planning, design, and implementation of future protective
structures, as well as recommendations tailored to different site contexts. These guidelines prioritize
the integration of all relevant site management factors.
Moreover, permanent protective structures at archaeological or medieval sites can enable new uses,
such as exhibition spaces. Incorporating these historical remains into modern museum environments,
the preserved ruins can be reimagined as vibrant cultural assets that blend historical authenticity
with contemporary design

“De-greening” socialist housing estates with new construction: A quantitative analysis of urban densification in New Belgrade, Serbia
In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in new construction across Serbia, particularly
in Belgrade. One of the key consequences of this trend is the significant reduction of green areas
within the city. This „de-greening“ is most visible in municipalities such as New Belgrade, where
this transformation was driven by the redistribution of land for new development projects and
densification due to maximising permitted coverage per urban block. While in this manner New
Belgrade grew into a representative and powerful urban centre in the last decades, the intense
urbanisation is starting to visibly affect the overall state of New Belgrade blocks, disrupting the
prior urban tissue and iconic socialist structures. The main goal of this research is to examine
the rate and extent of the reduction in green areas in Belgrade through a comparative analysis
of historical and current satellite images. To analyse changes in greenery over the past few
years, key reference points will be established, providing a basis for comparing the relationship
between built and unbuilt structures. By mapping these changes, the research aims to quantify
the loss of greenery and provide a commentary for future studies on its social and ecological
consequences. The expected results of this research should provide insights into how new
urbanisation reshapes the fabric of the socialist city. In doing so, it addresses whether
contemporary free-market interventions overlook public green spaces, how the values of
socialist architecture can be integrated into urban densification processes, while taking into
concern how green areas should remain a strategic feature for improving the quality of urban
space, everyday life, and public health
