Why Does Architecture Need to Move? The Role of Integrated Technical Systems in Architecture
No full textThe emerging interdisciplinary field of mechatronics and integrated technical systems is becoming increasingly important to architecture. Technology comprised of sensors, controllers and actuators allows architects to reconsider the relationship between buildings and their environment, as well as between buildings and their users. The architectural education is finding itself on an uncharted territory while trying to introduce interdisciplinary collaboration into its own curricula. This paper will present outcomes of the research seminar conducted at University of Belgrade, Faculty of Architecture focused on the role of mechatronics and integrated technical systems in architecture. The discussion will focus on the notion of spatial adaptability and three possible reasons why architectural elements should move: efficiency, aesthetics and functionality
Javni gradski prostor nasuprot tržnom centru u konzumerističkoj kulturi - simulacija grada u cilju legitimisanja sebe kao urbanog mesta
Get PDFIn this paper shopping malls are considered as a representative of modern consumer spaces and observed as places of interaction between the surrounding environment and the stakeholders, as well as places of their mutual indoor interaction. The idea of a shopping centre is the idea of compressing and intensifying a public space by placing all the necessary facilities under one roof. In this way, by providing access to all the necessary facilities, the need of the shopper to return to everyday life is lessened, shopping becomes a recreational activity and the shopping mall becomes a shelter. The aim of this paper is to compare the preferences consumers have towards shopping malls and public spaces, by determining consumers' opinion on the (dis) advantages of the shopping malls over features of a city centre. The basic goal of the research is to improve the knowledge and experiences in an architectural research through exploring of the mutual relations between the user, architecture and the space. The paper aims to analyse the relationship between architectural creativity and broader sociocultural changes caused by the commercialization of a modern city.U radu se kao reprezent savremenih potrošačkih prostora razmatra tržni centar. Potrošački prostor posmatran je kao mesto interakcija između okruženja i aktera, te aktera međusobno. Ideja tržnog centra je kompresovanje i intenziviranje javnog prostora smeštanjem svih potrebnih sadržaja pod jedan krov. Na taj način, umanjuje se potreba kupca da se vrati svakodnevnom životu, kupovina postaje njegova rekreativna aktivnost, a tržni centar sigurno pribežište. Predmet rada je istraživanje stavova korisnika prema otvorenim javnim gradskim prostorima i tržnim centrima, kao i poređenje njihovih kvaliteta i nedostataka. Osnovni cilj je unapređenje znanja i iskustva u istraživačkom i projektanskom pogledu kroz istraživanje odnosa između korisnika, arhitekture i prostora. Zadatak je da se analiziraju relacije između arhitektonskog stvaralaštva i širih sociološkokulturoloških promena izazvanih komercijalizacijom savremenog grada - konkretno, projektantski koncept formiranja komercijalnih (prevashodno trgovačkih) prostora i uticaja koje oni imaju prema širem gradskom (fizičkom i socijalnom) kontekstu i korišćenju
Problems Associated With Curtain Walls
No full textThe curtain wall design involves a complexity of elements responsible for performing different functions, which is the key prerequisite for holistic approach to construction and implementation of systems. This paper deals with specific problems associated with curtain walls, as presented in the case study of a new, single-family home of a villa design in Belgrade. The aim of this paper is to present effective ways to overcome the problems of water leakage and negative thermal impacts of solar radiation on curtain wall, which is caused by common mistakes made during the construction and implementation phase. The paper identifies potential causes that restrict the use of this facility. The main research method is expert analysis, carried out through on-site observations and detection of explicit evidence, as well as through direct access to the project's technical and photo-documentation from the contractors. The results of the paper describe the construction measures to be applied to some parts of the glass facade of the house, in order to prevent further deterioration and reduce the negative impact on the users
Трансформација предеоне структуре у процесу развоја територије града:Београд друге половине XX века
Get PDFThe motivation for this study is to establish a relation between architecture and territory, by researching the transformation of landscape configuration as a product of processes that occur both within the concept of architecture and the concept of territory. The reason for this research was the need for simultaneous consideration, within architectural and urban design processes, of both the city and the object. The proposed doctoral dissertation studies the role of architectural and urban space production as elements of landscape configuration in the process of the city territory development. The dissertation examines this trough a closer look at the processes of transformation of Belgrade’s landscape configuration in the second half of the XX century. The aim of this research is to establish a new model for the future transformations of landscape configuration on the basis of past experience in accordance with contemporary tendencies of development. The research initially sets the theoretical background, postulates and the focus of considering the relations within the cognitive triad landscape, territory and architecture. In the context of the research, for the purpose of reviewing elements of landscape configuration and processes of city territory development, the role of the architectural gesture had special significance, both within the process of forming the city territory of and the transformation of the landscape configuration. Taking the continuity of changes within the pre-defined categories (landscape, territories and architecture) as a starting point, landscape is viewed more as a process than as a product, which makes coding of the elements of its structure (such as architecture) important for reading the layers of changes and development within already established territories. The processes of defining the landscape configuration were examined through different scenarios of operation described by theoretical concepts of physical and social space „production”, which result in spatial manifestations of elements of landscape configuration within the process of the city territory development. These, as such, are cultural artifacts with clearly defined positions and influence within the structure...Повод овог истраживања је успостављање релације између архитектуре и територије, посматрано кроз трансформацију предеоне структуре као производа процеса који се дешавају унутар ова два концепта (архитектуре и територије). Истраживање је урађено из потребе за истовременим сагледавањем и објекта и града приликом архитектонског и урбанистичког процеса пројектовања и планирања. Предложена докторска дисертација изучава улогу архитектонске и урбанистичке производње простора као елемената укупне предеоне структуре у процесу развоја територије града, при чему се ближе разматрају процеси трансформације предеоне структуре Београда друге половине XX века. Циљ оваквог истраживања је успостављање нових модела будућих трансформација предеоне структуре, на основу искуства претходних, а у складу са савременим токовима развоја. Истраживање најпре поставља теоријско полазиште, поставке и тежиште посматрања релација унутар мисаоне тријаде предела, територије и архитектуре. Полазећи од преиспитивања елемената структуре и процеса развоја како предела, тако и територије, посебан значај у оквиру истраживања заузима испитивање улоге архитектонског геста, како у процесу формирања територије града, тако и у процесу трансформација предеоне структуре. Узимајући за полазиште сталност промена у оквиру претходно дефинисаних категорија (предела, територије и архитектуре), предео се посматра пре као процес него као производ, те је кодирање елемената његове структуре (попут архитектуре) од значаја за читање слојева промена и развоја унутар већ формиране територије. Процеси дефинисања предеоне структуре истражују се кроз различите сценарије деловања описаних теоријским концептима помоћу којих се испитују облици „производње” физичког и друштвеног простора, који кроз просторне манифестације резултирају елементима предеоне структуре у процесу развоја територије града, који као такви представљају културне артефакте са јасно дефинисаним позицијама и утицајима унутар структуре..
Идентификација пројектантске стратегије тополошког метода у савременој архитектури
Get PDFThe thesis deals with researching the role of topological method in the formation of contemporary design strategy, which began to develop in 1990’s and is still ongoing. Continuing a chronological line of mutual influences of architecture and geometry, where geometry is perceived as an inextricable part of the syntax of architectural space, the research focuses on the clarification of a specific position which mathematical topology takes within contemporary architectural discourse...Теза се бави истраживањем улоге тополошког метода у формирању савремене пројектантске стратегије, која почиње да се развија деведесетих година XX века и још увек је актуелна. Настављајући хронолошку линију међусобних утицаја архитектуре и геометрије, у којој се геометрија види као нераскидив део синтаксе архитектонског простора, истраживање се фокусира на разјашњење специфичне позиције коју математичкa топологија заузима унутар савременог архитектонског дискурса..

Редефинисање карактера руралних центара у брдско - планинским подручјима
Get PDFIn development of rural areas in Serbia, as well other territories, it is accepted
traditional view on the rural centers and centers in the villages or the communities
centers of rural settlements, as they define those settlements through its position in
the hierarchy of settlements in specific region, meaning the size, content, equipment
and the level of infrastructural and supra-structural development.
The changes in social and economic area and spatial structure that happened,
asked for the review of this settlement category and redefinition of its importance
in the settlement network. It means changes in understanding of populations
and changes of its real content in the gravitation areas.
The point of the paper is the need to realize redefinition the priorities of settlements
and reactivation of potentials and advantages they have, in the frame of
local inhabitants and other users’ needs. This is prerequisite for creation of conditions
for quality functioning of the regions, specifically mountain regions in Serbia.У развоју руралних простора Србије, али и ширих простора, уврежена

The Security of Open Public Spaces as an Issue for Urban Redevelopment: The Case of Kosančićev Venac, Belgrade, Serbia
Get PDFDespite the fact that urban redevelopment is not a novelty at international level, it is still an emerging phenomenon in post-socialist Europe. Accompanied by the reestablishment of capitalist economy here, the projects of urban redevelopment have brought both advantages and disadvantages to this region. In the case of Serbia, more turbulent post-socialist transformation of the country has been distinctively reflected through urban redevelopment. Th is process is the best evident in its capital, Belgrade. Here more has happened in the areas which have not been in professional focus for urban redevelopment. In contrast, some well-known and historically valuable areas, such as Kosančićev venac area, have not witnessed it, despite the official and professional intention to redevelop them. There have been many arguments why this process has omitted Kosančićev venac. Most of them are related to the poor state of the finances. However, problem with finances usually “covers” the other ones. Th en, one of them is certainly urban security, i.e. human security in open public spaces, which is emerging as a task for any action in urban space today. Knowing that it is still underdeveloped professional topic locally, the aim of this research is urban security as a problem causing the lack of urban redevelopment in Kosančićev venac. The research is based on the survey conducted in this area. Therefore, the results of this survey are crucial to understanding the role of urban security in the urban (re)development of Kosančićev venac and how the security issue can be improved to enable it

Resilience strategies: upgrading the sustainable practice
Get PDFClimate change has become one of the biggest challenges for the sustainable
development of cities - the rapid urbanization, marking the late 20th and the beginning of
the 21st century, has highlighted cities as main arenas for testing and addressing the
effects of climate change. Due to their complexity, the cities generate their own
(changeable) logic, which affects their physical, functional and social structure. Constantly
"revisioning" and upgrading their strategic orientation, urban areas are integrating the
concept or resilience into their sustainable development goals. In order to meet the needs
of each city, local contextualization forms a distinctive framework that enables them to
resist and adapt to present and future climate challenges. Nevertheless, the recent concept
of resilience includes not only the climate change issues, but broadens it to general
principles of "sustainable" topics: economical, social, and environmental.
The focus of this paper is on the sustainability-resilience relation in strategic orientation
of cities. By examining the best practices in formulation and implementation of resilience
strategies, the aim is to define how cities perceive, adjust and (re)act to current climate
change issues while applying the holistic approach. The emphasis is on locally specific
context, particularly Belgrade, that, in spite of facing numerous socio-economic obstacles, is
trying to implement the general resilience goals and meet the sustainable demands,
simultaneously showing that less developed cities have the capacities to follow the global
trends
