Browninfo Methodology and Software for Development of Interactive Brownfield Databases
No full textBrownfields represent abandoned and disused sites, an exceptional strategic reserve of space and urban resource whose potentials are under-recognised in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The initial step towards urban renewal of these spaces is: their identification, evaluation, assessment of development potential and promotion. Interactive, GIS and web oriented digital database of brownfields is very useful tool for its promotion and visibility that makes process of brownfield regeneration more efficient and faster. Therefore, the paper presents the unique methodology for development of interactive brownfield databases and bundled software BrownInfo
Communicating Heritage through Intertwining Theory and Studio Based Course in Architectural Education
No full textThis paper has emerged from a belief in the importance of architectural history for modern architectural practice and the education of young architects today. It proposes an alternative teaching approach in which theory-based and studio-based methodology are interconnected and mutually challenged to communicate heritage in the most beneficial way. The approach attempts to avoid communicating basic descriptive facts, but is rather based on the interpretation of theoretical knowledge through individual designs, and provokes discussions questioning universal messages of architecture through individual spatial solutions. It was introduced at the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade, through the elective course New Reading of Architecture for the third-year students, in the school year of 2014/15 and 2015/16. Results show that critical thinking through designing, as opposed to the usual factual approach, met a favourable response from student. Both in architectural history and in designing for protected historical sites, having been made more historically aware and place-sensitive, they were actively encouraged to conduct research, and to define and shape their own design approach accordingly. It can be noted that experiencing the theory of architecture through critical reading of well-known treatises and exploring it through a design lens made the history of architecture an equal partner in the construction of the present
Пилот студија оперативних могућности унапређења приступачности физичког окружења у Србији
Get PDFУ складу са мерама и активностима које су дефинисане нацртом новог Акционог плана за спровођење Стратегије унапређења положаја особа са инвалидитетом у Републици Србији за период до 2020. године, пројектне активности су усмерене на анализу и креирање амбијента који ће ефикасно и економично омогућити имплементацију концепта универзалног дизајна - „Дизајн за све“ и тиме Србију сврстати у Европске земље које воде одговорну социјалну политику у сфери приступачности физичког окружења. Проблем отежане приступачности физичког окружења особама са инвалидитетом свакодневно представља велики изазов при кретању и коришћењу јавних објеката и јавних површина. Сведоци смо да велики број јавних установа нема адекватну инфраструктуру која би задовољила основне стандарде у погледу физичке приступачности за особе са инвалидитетом. Неопходан је одржив континуитет у отклањању физичких баријера и побољшања приступачности за све. Мултиструктурални приступ у решавању проблема је незаобилазан оквир у којем се треба посматрати проблематика трајног отклањања свих видова баријера у друштву, између осталих и физичких баријера. Концепт приступачности „Дизајн за све“ подразумева сагледавање свих мањкавости и снага у посматраном физичком окружењу. У том смислу, неопходан је механизам за континуално прикупљање и лако читљиво јавно публиковање евиденције свих критичних тачака које угрожавају безбедно и функционално кретање особа са инвалидитетом и других осетљивих категорија становника.
Излазни резултати и закључци самог пројекта сублимирани су у Студији о приступачности, која представља документ од националног значаја. Од пресудне важности за ефективност резултата пројекта био је научни приступ у утврђивању методологије за евидентирање структуралних карактеристика приступачности физичког окружења. Анализа тренутног стања приступачности физичког окружења експериментално је спроведена на карактеристичним локацијама у Београду, Новом Саду и Нишу. У пројекту су учествовали представници Архитектонског факултета Универзитета у Београду, професори, асистент, и студенти архитектуре из градова на чијим територијама се пројекат реализује. За потребе мапирања локација осмишљена је методологија и израђена бесплатна е-платформа за прикупљање и анализу података, која ће у будућности бити на располагању и другим локалним самоуправама у Србији. Прикупљени подаци о приступачним и полуприступачним локацијама за територијалне области где је спроведено пројектно истраживање јавно су доступни
Sustainable planning in protected natural areas - case study of Vlasina Lake
Get PDFThe concept of sustainability comprises different aspects of human activities, including the environment, economy and social sphere, thus creating the frame for urban and spatial planning in theory and practice (Mitrovic, 2017). Haughton (1996) draws attention to its most important features that are the foundation for the long term development, such as natural conservation, efficient economy, civil society and social progress. As the main pillar of the sustainability, the ecological aspect remains one of the dominant concerns of the territory development and planning over decades. The equal attention is being drawn to the urban areas as well as the protected natural areas. Many conflict zones and interests overlapping in such areas are also an exhaustless source of inspiration and ideas.
This was the starting point for the creation of a case study of Vlasina Lake in Serbia as a task for the students of Master course at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade. Vlasina Lake district has significant natural values, quality landscape and water resources as well as settlements and tourism capacities, which together create many developmental problems. As a territory with numerous conflicted situations, it has been treated through several spatial and local urban plans. The paper presents the educational process during three subjects focused on the sustainable planning and design in natural environment.
The pedagogical methodology was implemented in the three main teaching units: planning studio, which involves learning-by-doing process and is project-based; workshop, which includes site investigation, and seminar, which provides theoretical foundation related to the sustainable development and planning. The educational corpus is designed so that all parts should be complementary in terms of the methodology and form of teaching and learning. In this paper, the outcomes of studio, seminar and workshop are presented as an example of well-designed assignment for the master course level in domain of urban planning that gives realistic planning solutions and encourage teamwork, as well as the cooperation with the local community
Orthodox Christianity Square, open public space [The 21st Salon of architecture, 2018]
Get PDFThe Square of Orthodoxy (Trg Pravoslavlja) is situated in the center of Derventa in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the past, before the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there was a park with a bistro and terrace. It was a meeting place, to enjoy the beautiful park ensemble. After the war, the park was treated as a town square and the site has undergone a number of changes: on the west side, the pedestrian street was made; on the top of the location, the monument was built on the top location and in the central part of the square, the Serbian Orthodox Church. The basic idea of planning the Square of Orthodoxy in Derventa is guided by the collective memory of the place in terms of reminiscences of past. The main reference for the design of the Square is in the fresco painting in the Orthodox Church and cubism landscape design. The design process took into account the low budget of the project. The project respected an urban context, urban fabric and all client requirements. The problem of large deleveling of the Square (more than 7m) is solved by the cascading. The composition of greenery supports the existing one and particularly plane trees (genius loci). Landscape design and lighting design support and highlight the bold sense of the space, the horizontal lines of the Square and the vertical lines of the church. Since 2015, citizens of Derventa are using Square mostly for everyday children’s play, socializing and a place for an active break. Several large public events have been held there so far.Collaborator: Jefimija Sebic - Associate designer, Sinisa Maric - Associate designer, Vladan Stevovic - 3D visualization
Infinity Nature [40. Salon of Architecture, 2018]
Get PDFProjekat je izrađen u okviru urbanističko-arhitektonskog konkursa za balkanski eko centar na Zelenom vencu u Beogradu i osvojio je drugu nagradu. Rešenje “Infinity nature” se zasniva na oponašanju prirode koje se prevashodno ogleda u oblikovanju zelenog egzoskeleta fasade, koji mimikrijom prirode postavlja svoje nosače u nepravilan raspored elemenata simulirajući grananje drveta. Time se egzoskelet širi na višim etažama i dodatno otvara vizure korisnicima zgrade. Ovakvim rešenjem jedinstvena zgrada „Infinity Nature“ postaje reper grada i unapređuje vizure Beograda. Programski, objekat je zoniran na „Eco Hub“ kao inovativni segment koji prezentuje održive sisteme i korespondira sa poslovnim prostorom u donjim etažama. Ova dva segmenta se nalaze u postamentu kule, čija je poslednja etaža projektovana kao spa centar i restoran. Projektnim zadatkom bilo je neophodno predvideti i apartmane za dugoročno iznajmljivanje i vidikovac, koji se prostiru od sedme do trineste etaže kule. Upotrebom softvera za optimizaciju kroz nekoliko stotina rešenja se na osnovu zadatih parametara (insolacija, uticaj vetra, gustina i šema kretanja korisnika..) došlo do najoptimalnijeg rasporeda i funkcionalne organizacije zgrade. Na samim nosačima fasade i krovu nalazi se sistem za skupljanje kišnice, koji se posebnim kanalima vodi do sistema za preradu i šalje dalje kao tehnička voda za toalete i voda za zalivanje zelenila na fasadi. Na osnovu analize osunčanja lokacije paneli zid zavese koji su okrenuti ka Brankovoj ulici su solarni transparentni paneli sa fotoelektronskim ćelijama koji apsorbuju UV i infracrvene zrake, pretvarajući ih u električnu energiju. Da bi se zatvorio krug energetske samoodrživosti zgrade, u podovima su postavljeni piezoelektrični senzori koji pod konstantnim mehaničkim pritiskom usled kretanja korisnika stvaraju električnu energiju i šalju je do sistema električne rasvete niskog napona.Izloženi rad je osvojio drugu nagradu na javnom anketnom konkursu za izradu urbanističko-arhitektonskog idejnog rešenja balkanskog eko-centra na Zelenom vencu u Beograd
Флуидност границе отвореног јавног простора [апстракт]
No full textГраница, као место сусрета два подручја различитог значаја, осликава својства простора које спаја. Услед дуалне природе коју поседује, наглашена је флуидност границе која се испољава са аспекта перцепције простора у току кретања у отвореном јавном простору. Циљ овог рада огледа се у разумевању релативног односа границе и корисниковог доживљаја амбијенталних и архитектонских вредности отвореног јавног простора у оквиру сложеног савременог контекста града. Као последица различитог схватања граница од стране корисника, јавља се мноштво доживљаја визуелне динамике простора услед промене разумевања хијерархије архитектонских елемената. Утицај границе на корисникову представу о простору испољен је кроз непоновљиви карактер који простор чини јединственим и разликује га од других, а може се сагледати кроз специфичност ове границе – својство флуидности. Флуидност границе се у раду огледа у формирању динамичног доживљаја отвореног јавног простора у току кретања и истражује у односу на аспекате флексибилности, континуалности и пропустљивости. Испитују се потенцијали доживљајних вредновања границе при формирању искуства о простору, имајући у виду да је кроз својство флуидности границе испољено јединство статичних и динамичких компоненти архитектуре.Boundary connects areas of different significance, depicting their characteristic. Dual nature emphasises the fluidity of the boundary expressed through spatial perception within the mobility framework in open public spaces. Significance of this paper is reflected in defining open public space boundary phenomenon. This phenomenon is presented through variability, relativity, diffusion and dialecticism. Transformation of conventional boundary perception implies occurrence of fluidity concept as a basic tool for spatial experience recognition within architecture discourse. Evaluation of architecture receptiveness depicts boundary significance in experiencing integral spatial context and determines city identity. Goal of this paper is to understand relation of boundary to user’s experience of ambient and architecture values of open public space within complex city context. Different user’s understanding of the boundary reflects in variety experiences of visual spatial dynamics, due to change of understanding of architecture elements hierarchy. Boundary influence on user’s perception of open public space is expressed through unique spatial feature – fluidity. This paper depicts boundary fluidity by forming dynamic experience of open public space through mobility and investigates aspects of flexibility, continuity and permeability. Potentials of boundary perception, during acquiring spatial experiences, are challenged through property of boundary fluidity which is expressed as unity of static and dynamic architecture components. This research contributes through improvement and transformations of existing public spaces within the frame of complex spatial situations aspiring adaptation to development of contemporary city
Stari (Old) Ras and Sopoćani: Challenges and Possibilities in Managing the UNESCO Cultural Heritage
Get PDFFor its numerous medieval monuments, the Raška region in and around modern Novi Pazar
in southwestern Serbia was put on UNESCO’s list of World Cultural and Natural Heritage
sites in 1979 under the name of Stari Ras and Sopoćani. It consists of several components:
the Medieval Town of Ras, St. Peter’s church in Novi Pazar, the Monastery of Đurđevi Stupovi
and the Monastery of Sopoćani. As a living organism, situated in an intensely multi-ethnic
area that was and still is on the crossroads of diverse peoples and influences, the Stari Ras
and Sopoćani area is very challenging to manage, because the needs of cultural heritage workers and the needs of functioning monastic communities and the expanding city of Novi Pazar have to be reconciled. This paper aims at presenting the monuments that are incorporated into the Stari Ras and Sopoćani heritage site, as well as showing the character of the region and the challenges and opportunities of managing a cultural heritage site in regard to the diverse actual conditions
Conceptualising Multifunctionality of Public Open Spaces for Sustainable Urban Development
Get PDFMultifunctionality of urban green and civic spaces has widely been recognised as important
for achieving urban sustainability and resilience, and for linking nature and culture. In literature, as
well as in urban planning and design strategies, it is assumed that multifunctional open spaces will
bring wider spectrum of environmental, social and economic benefits to urban areas. And yet,
different academic disciplines understand and use this concept in different ways. This makes the
application of the concept difficult to assess and manage in relation to different aspects of
sustainable urban development. Through literature review, this paper analyse and compare how
the concept of multifunctionality is used in various spatial disciplines (urban planning and design,
landscape architecture, architecture) in order to better understand and relate its different
dimensions, applications and expected benefits for urban sustainability. Based on this, a new,
relational and multidimensional conceptualisation of multifunctionality of public open spaces is
proposed for analysis and assessment of urban design solutions. It was further applied and
discussed in relation to students projects from “Ecological urban design studio” from University of
Belgrade Faculty of Architecture, as visions for development of multifunctional public open spaces
in modernist mass housing area of “Sava Bloks” in New Belgrade, Serbia.2nd International Conference on Urban Planning - ICUP2018, 14-17th November 2018, Organised by Faculty of Civil

Sustainability benefits of ferrocement аpplication in composite building structures
Get PDFRaising the level of sustainability in construction refers to reduction of negative environmental
impact and resource consumption throughout the life cycle of built facilities, with a simultaneous
increase in life quality. Ferrocement is a material that is nowadays increasingly used
worldwide precisely because of the possibility to meet the numerous requirements which concern
the ecological quality of buildings. Having in mind functional and design possibilitieswhich
ferrocement offers as a constructive material, it is used for making of a wide range of structural
elements, as well as for the strengthening of the existing structures. In addition to the above,
ferrocement finds its application within the composite building structures. This paper analyzes
the forms of application of ferrocement within composite building structures, as well as the
benefits of its application in such systems in the context of sustainability. The analyzed systems
are based on the composite action of ferrocement and conventional reinforced concrete, the
composite action of ferrocement and steel load bearing elements, as well as on the composite
action of ferrocement, steel load bearing elements and conventional reinforced concrete. The
present analysis pointed to the key sustainability benefits of ferrocement application in composite
building structures, as well as to the need for further research on possible use forms of this
material within such systems, in function of raising the sustainability of the built environment
