Negotiating sustainability in urban development : the role of technical building equipment at das Eckwerk
Get PDFWhether or not the buzz is justified, the technophilic concept of the smart city and its promise of unprecedented
resource efficiency became the central urban paradigm of today. However, with a few notable exceptions - mostly in
the form of prestigious smart or green buildings - the day-to-day praxis of local urban development carries forward
its struggle to negotiate the expectations of the triple bottom line. While the advancement of eco-innovative
technologies outpaces itself, the way buildings are planned, built, used and demolished has not changed significantly
in recent history.
Drawing on experiences from the planning of Das Eckwerk, a major bottom-up urban development initiative in Berlin,
it is suggested that the bottleneck to sustainable urban development is not a lack of innovative technology but rather
the linearity of value chains in real estate and architecture, which often disincentivize the most sensible solutions.
With a focus on technical building equipment, this paper reports on the lessons learned of ‘developers by
circumstance’ in quest of enabling investment and innovation.
In line with the intellectual lineage of the performance economy, the adopted approach at Das Eckwerk is outlined in
four stages: (a) a contextual analysis of locally available resources and capacities, (b) the reversal of the demand and
supply logic, (c) a recognition of technologies in their life cycles of innovation, and (d) the early involvement of
manufacturers in the planning process. Lastly, the structural implications this approach might entail, including a shift
in professional roles from producers to service providers, are outlined
Perspectives that arise for preventive medicine from the synergy of urban and rural areas
Get PDFHealth care is very important for modern society in every country of the world whether in urban or rural areas.
Depending on the area where people live, for them life conditions may differ in many ways. In both environments for
human life there are advantages and disadvantages. Regardless of the differences, in rural and urban areas in the
human population appear similar health disorders. It would be interesting to determine which factors that occurs in
the village and in the city disrupt human life, comfort and health. This paper considers factors that influence human
health in urban and rural settlements. Cooperation in sharing of information and experience can overcome differences
and lead to better life for all. The synergy of urban and rural areas can provide new knowledge that combines the
advantages that these areas possess. The paper points to the positive effects that provide rural areas and the presence
of the advantages that cities have in terms of preserving people's health, and thus pulling out the essence of these
advantages in order to indicate the perspective that occur for preventive medicine from the synergy of urban and rural
areas

The phenomena of the mysterious Universe is made sensible through an organic and poetic consilience of different disciplines…. a creative contemplation on a more-than-human relationship and cosmic becoming.Napomena administratora: Autorski tim je naveden od strane Nemanje Kordića
Enterijer upravne zgrade UniCredit Bank [39. Salon arhitekture, 2017]
No full textNakon preseljenja uprave banke u poslovni prostor koji se prostire na pet etaža poslovne zgrade na Novom Beogradu, javila se potreba za novom organizacijom zaposlenih. Na zahtev klijenta, funkcionalna šema prostora zasniva se na princima smart working-a, novog koncepta poslovanja koji omogućava fleksibilnost u svakodnevnim aktivnostima zaposlenih. Veliki deo poslovnog prostora je koncipiran po principu slobodnog plana, gde zaposleni nisu vezani sa fiksno radno mesto, već su u mogućnosti da ga menjaju u skladu sa svojim dnevnim obavezama (workstation area). Uz fleksibilne radne prostore su projektovane i prostorije za manje sastanke, telefonske razgovore, fokus zone, koje zaposlenima obezbeđuju potrebnu intimu, individualno ili u manjim grupama (communication area), praćene zonama servisnih aktivnosti (arhiva, štampa i slično -functional area). Ulazni deo svake etaže je namenjen za odmor ili rad u neformalnom okruženju, pri čemu je primarno oblikovanje i materijalizacija, koja se dominantno oslanja na upotrebu drveta, u funkciji planiranog korišćenja.saradnici: Jelena Kesić, Katarina Crljenica, Aleksandar Gušić, Miloš Gigić (3d vizuelizacija), Jovan Smoljanić (3d vizuelizacija)

Technical and Logical Methods for Improving the Process of Urban Planning in Serbia
No full textThe subject of the paper is an analysis of the methodology for developing urban plans, considered in a normative, organizational and interest context. Based on current legislation defining the content and procedure for adopting a plan, and the institutional framework that defines the participants in the planning process, a basic methodological model for a planning solution was formed, which was then improved in the context of the collaborative planning paradigm. Starting from the assumption that harmonizing the different interests represents the “grey zone” of planning in Serbia, the paper explores various methodological steps that would give a space for better
cooperation between all stakeholders, and therefore contribute to the improvement of procedures for developing plans and the quality of the planning solutions themselves. On the basis of this research, a methodology for urban planning is defined as a logical and technical method of successively configuring a planning solution in a normative, organizational and interest context. Through analysis of the application of the methodological model in practice and a case study, it was confirmed that the method of producing a plan that includes timely and meaningful cooperation can reconcile the interests of the different stakeholders in planning

Mapiranje projektantskim postupkom: Eko stanica Ratno ostrvo [7. Salon pejzažne arhitekture, 2017]
No full textProjektantski istraživački radovi otvaraju pitanje razumevanja složenosti i slojevitosti međusobnog uticaja čoveka i okruženja, te promišljanje potencijala ovog odnosa kroz disciplinarni okvir arhitekture i posebno procesa projektovanja. Kroz mapu kao sredstvo komunikacije i medij za istraživanje prostornih odnosa iznalaze se nove mogućnosti i granične vrednosti umrežavanja prirode i arhitekture, koji rezučtiraju promenom karaktera predela.The curriculum of Architecture and Nature design studio, within the programme of undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade, is based on understanding the complexity and stratification of the interaction between man and environment, particularly considering the potentials of the relationship between man and nature, through the disciplinary framework of architecture and design process in specific. The aim of the curriculum is focused on developing critical thinking related to design process in a complex spatial and programmatic framework. Having this as a research problem, during one semester, students were invited to give proposals for a specific programme of “eco research station” and its positioning in the context of War Island (protected natural preserve) inside of Belgrade city area; the biggest architectural challenge is the scale of a project in relation to the scale of the context
Effect of mobile health applications on physical activity in outdoor spaces
Get PDFRecent studies indicate that every outdoor physical activity has positive effect on the public health and well-being of individuals improving their quality of life. This research explores relationships between the use of emerging M-health applications and public health, level of physical activity, and everyday urban life of citizens. The growth in wireless subscriptions, which has reached over 6 billion wireless subscribers in the world, has favoured the mobile health (ITU "Measuring the Information Society" 2012). The research questione in this paper is: Does the use of m-health apps have a positive influence on increasing sport and recreation activities in open public spaces in Belgrade.
The methodology is based on extensive literature review and critical analysis of existing theoretical researches. Quantitative as well as qualitative data presented in this paper is obtained by using the methods of interviews and questionnaire conducted with selected stakeholders from Belgrade. The results of the research are showing habits, and level of physical activity, recreation preferences and habits of citizens in Belgrade, with the special focus on the manner, degree and frequency of use of the M-health applications, regarding their impact on potential changes in recreational habits of users in urban open space in Belgrade
ICT potential for tourism in rural areas
Get PDFTourism in rural areas is considered small-scale tourism, which represents a strong potential for growth of areas
traditionally characterized as agricultural areas. Small-scale also implies that economical gains are hard to achieve
due to high operating costs caused by remoteness of rural areas. With ICT, tourism in rural areas can be improved
through improvement of visibility, communication, marketing, customer perceived benefits through convenience, and
in return growth, profitability, efficiency, effectivity and the quality of life of local population can be enhanced. Rural
tourism tends to be heterogeneous with many different and scattered stakeholders, making the efficiency and
effectivity hard to achieve. The aim of this research is to propose a model for the inclusion of ICT, and specifically
information system, to increase efficiency of the rural small-scale tourism. The goal of this information system is to
gather a rich database that will allow potential tourists to identify their next destination and to identify most valuable
assets for each location in the region
Using space syntax model in typo morphological studies - understanding the transformation of urban form and urban life of the edge blocks of New Belgrade
Get PDFThe relation of the urban form and urban life is perceived as a critical aspect of the image, quality of place and
sustainability in the contemporary globalized world. The focus of the paper is on the typo morphological profile of
mega blocks in New Belgrade. Drawing from theoretical thoughts of various scholars of typo morphology and the
ideas of the modern movement interpreted trough the Serbian planning and design practice, the article raises the
questions about the relation of society and space in terms of urban form and urban life. The aim of the paper was
developing of a typology that includes the spatial and temporal contextualization, using the space syntax model as an
integral part of typo morphological studies in contemporary research practice.
The synthesis of typo morphological research and space syntax model can provide the platform for better
understanding of the existing built environment and social processes, but at the same time, could create starting point
for further improvement and development of the urban periphery. The results of the paper are in providing appropriate
strategies and rules for urban transformation and urban design of mega blocks to secure high quality of urban form
and urban life
