The influence of atrium on energy performance of hotel building
Get PDFThis paper analyses annual energy performance of atrium type hotel building in Belgrade. The objective is to examine the impact of the atrium on the hotel building's energy demands for space heating and cooling. Integrated approach through numerical simulations that include Belgrade climate data and thermal comfort parameters, indicates an optimal model of hotel building with atrium for this area. Building energy simulation is carried out using EnergyPlus simulation engine, as a basic tool in the process of building energy optimization. The methodological approach includes the creation of a hypothetical model of an atrium type hotel building, numerical simulation of energy performances of several design alternatives of the hotel building with atrium, and comparative analysis of the obtained results. The main task of analysis is to change certain parameters in the particular model (for example, building structure, orientation, etc.) and to observe how the changes influence energy performance of the building. The goal of this research is to show that the atrium contributes to the heating and cooling energy savings in the rest of the building, but also that the atrium itself demands a lot of energy for its air-conditioning. The most sustainable solution should be to cover energy demands for atrium by using the renewable energy sources. In this case, the atrium can contribute to the energy efficiency of the hotel building in Belgrade climatic conditions, thus reducing its negative impact on the environment.This is the peer-reviewed version of the article: Vujošević, M., Krstić-Furundžić, A., 2017.

Datascapes (Design Intelligence Strategy) - [BAB 2017] [Third Award]
Get PDFDatascaping, as a specific thinking strategy and mode of representation, has been developed in order to innovate design research models, methods, and instruments. Its basic concept is thinking and documentality through several key strategic features or criteria of data modelling and processing within the general concept of 'design intelligence'. These features include the following: 01. meta-level processing (data/information processing)—metacognition, 02. diagrammatic thinking/logic, 03. topological thinking, 04. networking strategy, 05. spatial thinking: the strategy of building data territories and spaces, but also their multidimensional extension, 06. memory palaces strategy, 07. creative interactive/dynamic thinking, and 08. dynamic complexity strategy (the strategy of dealing with and constructing complex adaptive systems).The project implies application of Datascaping and Design Intelligence Strategy in Architecture and Urbanism, with a particular focus on application in Urban Studies. It pursues the following topics: Design Improvement of Systems of Spatial Information, Architecturally and Spatially Articulated Information, and Advanced Spatial Research
Housing T37 [BAB 2017]
Get PDFObjekat se nalazi na lokaciji koja doživljava period transformacije – od naselja rezidencijalnog karaktera u područje sa pretežno višeporodičnim objektima. Proces koji je u toku, uslovljava neminovnu promenu strukture prostora što se odražava i na kvalitet života korisnika. Kontinualno izgrađena struktura uličnog fronta, striktne planske granice, kao i kriterijumi investicije koja se oslanja na ekonomsku isplativost uloženog, su parametri koji su uslovili arhitektonski izraz. Maksimalnim otvaranjem uličnog i dvorišnog fronta naglašava se upotreba prirodnog osvetljenja što doprinosi povećanju kvaliteta života i unapređenju ambijentalnih vrednosti stambenih prostora.The building is located on the site which is currently under transformation – from the low-density family housing to the prevailing high-rise residential area. This ongoing process brings about the inevitable change in the space structure, which affects the user’s quality of life. Among the parameters that influence the architectural approach are the continuously built street front, the strict property boundaries, as well as the investment criteria which are oriented toward economic benefits. The sunlight exploitation is achieved by maximizing the openings on the street and back garden facade, which adds to the quality of life and contributes to the improvements in the ambiance values of the residential spaces

Anketni konkurs, otvorenog tipa, za idejno urbanističko-arhitektonsko rešenje balkanskog eko-centra na Zelenom vencu u Beogradu [2017] [1. nagrada]
No full textThe ECO CENTRE proposes a state-of-the-art design solution for a fully sustainable building, which would become a showcase for green innovation and technology and serve as a role model to other projects in Belgrade, Serbia and wider region.
The concept proposes a three-part architectural design for mixed-use purposes, consisting of: premium office space, apartments of various sizes, an organic restaurant and garage space (variant 1: conventional garage system; variant 2: fully automated mechanical garage).
The existing constructive system of the former bank building (the tower and the lower part) is retained in the majority of the building, while the existing facilities of City Electric Company and Tax Administration are planned for demolition and new facilities are being built in their place.
The facade of the building features innovative solutions for sun protection and energy generation using triple-glazed glass, integrated photovoltaic sunshades and hanging gardens, whilst the roofs make use as urban gardens and rainwater collection systems.
This design approach is based on holistic systems thinking, which envisions the building as an entire organism that works together to optimize the use of energy, resources and financial investment. This creates a circular system, which sees any internal waste as a potential feed for another part of the system. Sustainability is embedded as a core element of the design, with goals of providing a net zero energy building and economical balance during the lifecycle of the ECO CENTRE

Preservation of the Ambience Values through Lighting: A Case Study of the Pedestrian Skadarlija Street in Belgrade
Get PDFThe phenomenon of lighting is one of the major elements which can promote sustainability of the urban ambience entities and the preservation of social, architectural and urban values. Its significance can be seen both in the functional qualities of safety and amenity for users, and the preservation of the mode in which the users experience the space. Public urban spaces are the core elements of the urban tissue and hence represent the places of interactions which envoy the zeitgeist to the space. The Skadarlija street is an authentic ambience in which a particular public life of Belgrade is featured. Therefore, it was officially acknowledged as the spatial cultural historical entity of the old town's centre. The primary goal of this paper is to provide an insight into the process of the creation of the space perception patterns in relation to the applied lighting model which has transformed over time. Various approaches to the lighting of this street are presented, starting with the traditional lanterns all the way to the advanced lighting sources which embody innovation and the contemporary methods in this field. Different concepts of lighting which were in the history used in Skadarlija street are analyzed and the conclusions are reached concerning the influence of lighting on the preservation of the ambience values and the patterns in which the notion of space and its atmosphere are created
"Urban renewal under the scope of security issues" - case study of Belgrade - glommy parts of the city
Get PDFCity center of Belgrade, Serbia, is broadly known for its generally high level of safety, which gives him a special
advantage in between the European cities; having in mind its past, postwar trauma oriented inhabitants and migration
processes passing through.
Never the less, to upgrade the level of safety of certain quarters by urban renewal would lead Belgrade to more resilient
city, more enjoyable and open to touristic but primarily with more comfort for its inhabitants. There are, indeed, some
less secure spots what the city statistics clearly show; which could be improved through the process of urban
renewal: through reconstruction, urban regeneration and conservation – especially places left demolished after 1999.
NATO bombing.
Along with identifying the factors of urban renewal, professionals should be open to explore concepts which bring
new light to how resilience could be enforced. While concept of fragility or “zero tolerance” is defined as a strong
sensitivity to a stressor, antifragility is associated to generating positive responses to stress instead of harm.
Antifragility describes cautious actions, being strongly related to risk management, and, as we may propose,
represents a component to be included within the urban renewal and community resilience factors. As new risks can
emerge overnight, constant assessment should be made to detect whether the urban renewal is facing benefits or
impairments in coping with unexpected events or in the phases of expecting it. The question, as always, is one of
proportion (How much of each concept/strategy?) and relevance (What kinds of dangers deserve the different
concepts?), and ultimately, given uncertainty, of bias (When in doubt, which concept should receive priority?).
This paper is analyzing those gloomy spots in the city in order to establish the guidelines based on real indicators and
parameters targeting public resilience in response to particular known or unknown security risks. For risks with high
ambiguity, it can be suggested to adopt a approach which is designed to reach stakeholder consensus on the
acceptability and tolerability of a risk based on multi-level governance processes termed ‘distributed responsibility’
Fluidity : networked context and contemporary methodologies of architecture in tourism
Get PDFThe aim of this paper is to research the relation between the networked socio-spatial context and contemporary design
methodologies of architecture in tourism. Fluidity is positioned as the main conceptual phenomenon, simultaneously
causing and manifesting in contemporary transformations of social and spatial conditions into a constant process of
interacting flows.Authors’ main idea is to research potential of contemporary architectural design in tourism which
reflects fluidity and processes of interacting flows of money, population, information and cultural identities through
aesthetical experiences of displacement, hedonism and pleasure. The dinamic concept of flows is positioned into the
spatial perspective as a design method and architectural criteria in response to place identity queries and
dematerialization of architectural aesthetical object by commercial overproduction effects. Development of tourism
afirmates the future synergies of urban and rural identities of places and creates new architectural design potentials
in tourism according to aesthetical transformations of today’s socio-spatial context. Tourism ranks high in world’s
industry in the contemporary era of globalization, neoliberal capitalism and the society of spectacle, leisure and
consumption, where needs for an increased flow of people, money and information transform architectural aesthetic
values into relational, intersubjective and communicational experiences. Touristic experience, aesthetical itself,
perceptual and receptive, opens new possibilities in architectural approach according to requirements and aesthetics
of contemporary culture, which transform meaning of architecture into infrastructure of perceptual displacement
effects through creative thematisations of fluidity in architectural design methodologies and aesthetic criteria
Relation between planning and realization of open spaces in New Belgrade super-blocks : case studies of block 45 and 70
Get PDFDuring the postwar period, from the 1960s to the 1980s, very large area of today's New Belgrade was built using the
concept of the Funtional city, which a lot of professionals consider as a successful example of modern urbanism.
Still, with a change of socio-political situation in the Republic of Serbia during the 1990s and 2000s, a number of
New Belgrade’s super-bloks started to be replanned. Having that in mind, this paper argues that there has been a
substantial difference between planning intentions and real needs of the inhabitants, considering the treatment of open
spaces inside the modernistic blocks. The main aim of this research is to show this potential conflict on the case
studies of super-blocks number 45 and 70. After review of the plan making process, there will be shown some real
needs of the local community that manifest themselves through open spaces, and comparative analyzes will be made.
This research examines the question of the direction in which the process of planning should be addressed in order
to include the real needs of the local community
