    Investigating Spatial Criteria for the Urban Landscape Assessment of Mass Housing Heritage: The Case of the Central Zone of New Belgrade

    Get PDF
    This study addressed problems related to the protection, reconstruction, and revitalisation of modern heritage, particularly the regeneration of mass housing estates built after WWII and facing the contemporary perils of urban decay and deterioration. It presented interdisciplinary research investigating the possibility of extending and complementing the heritage assessment methodology and broadening the scope of the criteria by including mass housing landscape values. Starting with a close reading of the key theoretical positions embedded in the conceptualisation and construction of New Belgrade, we investigated a set of holistic and time-based criteria, followed by contemporary methodologies for landscape quality assessment. The investigation was based on an urban landscape approach to heritage assessment and focuses on the Central Zone of New Belgrade, declared a heritage site in 2021. The interaction of the theoretical underpinnings of modern architecture and urban planning with urban landscape discourse, coupled with historically and theoretically relevant knowledge and data, resulted in an investigation of landscape-based criteria for further mass housing assessment. Finally, we presented the findings of the landscape quality assessment of the transformations of the Central Zone. This perspective could be used to extend the possibilities of this approach in order to 1) tackle the “thickness” of temporality related to (urban) landscapes; 2) rethink and redefine the applied heritage assessment approach; 3) open the assessment procedure to a wider range of stakeholders, particularly nonexperts and the local community; and 4) re-actualise the position and role of experts in the sense of communicating knowledge in a completely new context

    Posmatrajući antropocen kao datost, kroz nadovezivanje od zajedničkog i metaboličkog do privremenog, Janković spretno crpi pozitivne impulse koji daju nadu da infrastruktura, ako je posmatramo kao živo biće i instrument, možeda pruži odgovor, odnosno razrešenje nedoumice: Kako i kuda sa gradom sutra? Rukopis koji se nalazi pred nama razvija temu odnosa grada, antropocena i infrastrukture kroz nadovezivanje od jednostavnijih elemenata ka složenijim..

    Smešten u živopisnom srcu Vračara, stan od 45 m2 menja prostranost za pripadanje dinamičnom urbanom okruženju. Ovde, u jednom od najtraženijih stambenih naselja u Beogradu, svakodnevni život se proteže van okvira stana, obuhvatajući u svoje stambene rutine ceo kvart. Projekat je imao za cilj da napravi prilagođen prostorni okvir za život mladog para usred ovako dinamičnog urbanog jezgra. U ovakvim kompaktnim projektima svaki element mora imati višestruku ulogu, kako funkcionalno tako i estetski. Izbor materijala tako igra ključnu ulogu u svrhu postizanja prostornog jedinstva i koherentnosti, funkcionalno disperznih mikrocelina. Projektantski postupak se koncentriše na integraciju forme i funkcije, koristeći boju kao objedinjujući element. Rezultat je prostor koji se oseća kao monolitni entitet – jedinstven i veoma geometrijski sveden volumen, čija je unutrašnjost kompleksna, sastavljena od funkcionalno autonomnih prostora. Ovi intimni prostorni džepovi unutar naizgled svedenog volumena, pružaju raznorodne ambijente i perspektive na neposredno okruženje. Osnovni arhitektonski potez je skraćivanje svih pregradnih elemenata na pola metra od plafona, čime se svetlost nesmetano pušta u dubinu prostora stana i zamagljuje linija između unutrašnjosti i spoljašnjosti. Horizontalna povezanost plana, odnosno mogućnost sagledavanja plafonske ravni u celini, dodatno pojačava osećaj otvorenosti, omogućavajući fluidno kretanje između različitih funkcionalnih zona. U suštini, ovaj projekat predstavlja pokušaj da se stvori uzbudljiva ambivalentnost života u intimnoj kapsuli sa jedne strane, koja je okružena raznovrsnošću urbanog života u centru grada sa druge strane

    ARCHITECTURE IN 1:1 SCALE : educational approaches to trans-disciplinarity of architectural design

    No full text
    This paper presents an authentic approach in architectural education that connects architecture, interior architecture, furniture design, industrial and graphic design. The research is based on the multi-year educational process on the two courses: In 1:1 Architecture of utility object and Design through detail, on the Master's academic studies at the University of Belgrade - Faculty of Architecture. This paper aims to present the creative potentials of the architectural design process which, within the framework of education, tends to overcome the negative aspects of the contemporary local context, which commercialize designed object into a marketing product of sale and trade, devoid of aesthetic and ethical values, identity and individuality, for whom profitability is the only necessary quality. The paper refers to an internal faculty joke: "There is danger that it will be built!" through the courses results in which students actually fully realised their projects in a 1:1 scale, as a ready-to-use artefacts of a trans-disciplinary nature

    Possibilities of staged renovation of reinforced concrete facades of multi-family buildings in the central zone of New Belgrade

    Get PDF
    The central zone of New Belgrade represents an architectural and urban complex which construction began in the early sixties of the twentieth century. In the period from the early sixties to the end of the seventies, multi-family buildings were constructed in blocks: 21, 22, 23, 28, 29 and 30, and today they are classifi ed as the most representative examples of domestic architecture. Based on its architectural and urban characteristics, the central zone has the status of a spatial cultural-historical entity from 2021. Although this zone represents a cultural asset, the multi-family buildings in the blocks are examples of buildings that in the past few decades have not undergone any planned renovations of facade envelopes. The goal of the work is to present the possibilities of restoring facade envelopes through the process of staged renovations while considering ways of treating the envelopes that potentially preserve the original appearance - given that the selected buildings are treated as architectural heritage. Different reinforced concrete facade assemblies and existing damages also require different approaches in staged renovations, as a legitimate solution to this problem. Unplanned and unorganised works aimed at the restoration of facade envelopes led to signifi cant damage and general degradation of both their non-transparent and transparent zones. Despite such problems, the owners of the apartments in the buildings were forced, due to the lack of organised renovations, to individually solve the encountered problems of facade assemblies. This primarily refers to the replacement of dilapidated windows and doors in facade envelopes, while the treatment of non-transparent zones was not carried out according to plan. This led to unfavourable situations in which the degradation of facades is not prevented. By applying staged methods of renovation and activating tenants, these problems can potentially be overcome, which is the main goal of this paper

    Get PDF
    The Žiča Monastery was built at the beginning of the 13th century, in Serbia, near the present-day town of Kraljevo, in the village of Žiča, and was declared as a cultural monument of exceptional importance in 1979. Even today, 800 years after its construction, the Žiča Monastery has high signifi cance and represents an uninterrupted spiritual mission of the holy place for all Orthodox Serbs. The subject of the research in this paper is the Dining Room within the Žiča Monastery property which was built in 1935. The aim of the paper is to present a methodology which deals with sustainability and reconstruction in case of adaptive re-use of historic buildings in accordance with modern needs. Restoration of historic buildings that includes energy refurbishment measures will ensure successful reuse of them. An appropriate systematic approach of the reconstruction of heritage buildings is crucial in its preservation. All interventions on historic buildings, aimed at restoring and improving energy effi ciency, are a reversible process and can be done in accordance with the conservation requirements. The results of the research are recommendations for the restoration and adaptive re-use of historic buildings, while meeting modern requirements for comfort and environmental protection. The greatest contribution of this paper is the practical verifi cation of energy refurbishment of the restored historic building, the Dining Room, by applying the principles and measures of energy effi ciency, maintaining its authentic appearance. The possibility of practical verifi cation of the achieved results by applying the principles and measures of energy effi ciency in the restoration of the listed historic building is of great signifi cance

    Hypothetical Model of Dobrovic’s New Belgrade [46th Salon of Architecture, 2024]

    Rad ispituje ulogu i mogućnost primene hipotetičkih modela u savremenoj arhitektonsko-urbanističkoj praksi u cilju ispitivanja kompleksnog odnosa između planiranog i realizovanog. Važan segment rada odnosi se na ispitivanje razloga iz kojih dolazi do odstupanja i promena u planovima, a kroz identifikaciju njihovih slabih i jakih tačaka, na primeru Novog Beograda. Predmet analize predstavljaju postojeće stanje Novog Beograda i prva posleratna koncepcija Novog Beograda Skica regulacije Beograda na levoj obali Save iz 1946. godine autora arhitekte Nikole Dobrovića. Pored toga što predstavlja inicijalnu skicu, odabran plan za komparaciju, u morfološkom smislu, svojom radijalnom matricom predstavlja svojevrstan kontrast postojećoj ortogonalnoj matrici Novog Beograda i samim tim mogućnost ispitivanja dve krajnosti iste ideje o novom centru socijalističke države. Osnovna pretpostavka je da bi Skica regulacije Beograda na levoj obali Save da je izvedena, usled svog naizgled, morfološki i ideološki posmatrano suprotnog karaktera dovela i do formiranja drastično drugačije slike grada, naročito u pogledu funkcionalnosti, od onog kojeg danas poznajemo. Međutim, istraživanje pokazuje da su razlike manje od očekivanih, te da se tragovi prvobitne koncepcije naziru u trenutnom stanju uprkos odstupanju od iste. Metodologija rada zasniva se na komparaciji dva posmatrana stanja kroz dijalog kvalitativnih i kvantitativnih metoda ukrštanjem istorijsko-interpretativne analize i prostorne sintakse, alatom za kvantifikovanje rezultata u oblasti urbane morfologije, rezultujući sinteznim analitičkim crtežom trenutnog i hipotetičkog Dobrovićevog Novog Beograda

    Methodological approach: Students' visions and concepts for planing the sustainable Expo center in Belgrade

    Get PDF
    ”EXPO” изложба представља познату светску изложбу са традицијом дугом преко 150 година. Ова манифестација, коју предводи француски Међународни биро за изложбе (Bureau International des Expositions) 2027. ће се организовати у Београду. Велики прилив туриста, нова изградња, и препознатљиви мега-пројекти архитектуре су саставни део великих организација попут ове. Стога је тема планирања алтернативне верзије изложбе ”ЕКСПО 2027 – EXPO 2027” саставни део задатка за студенте четврте године интегрисаних академских студија на Универзитету у Београду, Архитектонском факултету школске 2023-24 године. Укупан број студената који је ангажован на овом задатку обухвата два ”студио-пројекта” са преко 40 студената који у групном раду сарађују са менторима и сарадницима током 14 недеља активне наставе. Методолошка основа студентских приступа базирана је на ”RIBA- The Royal Institute of British Architects” методологији која обухвата следеће фазе: (1) формирање визије и информационе основе; (2) анализа и вредновање; (3) концептуално решење и (4) пројектовање. Ови кораци на креативан начин су примењени у раду са студентима кроз иновативне методе и технике као што су: superhero и lotus blossum метода. Уз помоћ њих студенти започињу свој рад првенствено кроз дефинисање проблема и потенцијала па све до разраде идејног решења. Студентски радови представљају оригиналне визије за одрживе концепте, принципе и елементе, односно садржаје адекватне за изложбу попут ”ЕКСПО 2027 – EXPO 2027” представљене у виду атрактивног концепта и екстензивног програма.The "EXPO" exhibition represents a famous world exhibition with a tradition of over 150 years. This event, led by the French Bureau International des Expositions, will be organized in Belgrade in 2027. A large influx of tourists, new construction, and recognizable mega-projects of architecture are an integral part of large organizations like this one. Therefore, the topic of planning an alternative version of the exhibition "EXPO 2027 - EXPO 2027" is an integral part of the task for students of the fourth year of integrated academic studies at the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Architecture in the academic year 2023-24. The total number of students engaged in this task includes two "studio-projects" with over 40 students who cooperate in group work with mentors and associates during 14 weeks of active teaching. The methodological basis of student approaches is concentrated on "RIBA - The Royal Institute of British Architects" methodology, which includes the following phases: (1) developing vision and information base; (2) analysis and evaluation; (3) conceptual solution and (4) design. These steps are creatively applied in working with students through innovative methods and techniques such as: superhero and lotus blossom method. With their help, students begin the work primarily by defining problems and potentials, all the way up to developing a new conceptual solution. Student works represent original visions for sustainable concepts, principles elements, and content features adequate for an exhibition like "EXPO 2027 - EXPO 2027" and presented in the form of an attractive design and extensive program
