Participatory practices for the protection and improvement of public and common property in the Sava quay area in New Belgrade
No full textThe paper deals with the research of participatory activities of citizens
in the area of the Sava quay in New Belgrade between 2013 and 2023.
The focus is on the initiatives of the residents of blocks 44, 45, 70 and 70a,
who reacted to the violation of public spaces due to illegal construction,
commercialization and neglect by the relevant institutions. Using case
study methodology, data were collected through an analysis of available
sources, interviews, focus groups and observations. The research covers
various aspects of participatory practices, including their motivations,
organization and implementation, as well as their results at the levels of
an individual, community and wider society. The results show that citizens
have developed a variety of strategies to defend public spaces, including
protests, petitions, public forums, labor actions, and community information
campaigns. Digital tools, such as social networks, have played a key role in
mobilizing and raising awareness of the problems related to degradation
of natural and urban space. Although the activities often encountered resistance
from private interests and institutional passivity, their persistence
resulted in increased visibility of the problem and partial success in protecting
key public spaces. These practices highlight the importance of civic
engagement in the democratization of the decision-making process and the
preservation of the public interest. In addition to their local importance, the
activities on the Sava quay have wider implications as an example of good
practice of participatory action. They shed light on current issues, such as
the management of public spaces, the protection of natural resources and
the role of citizens in the decision-making process. The paper concludes
that participatory practices are not only a reaction to current challenges
but also a means for long-term empowerment of communities, creation
of sustainable urban development and preservation of democratic values.
These findings can serve as inspiration for other local communities facing
similar challenges.Рад се бави истраживањем партиципативних активности грађана
у области Савског кеја у Новом Београду између 2013. и 2023. године.
Фокус је на иницијативама становника блокова 44, 45, 70 и 70а,
који су реаговали на нарушавање јавних простора услед нелегалне градње,
комерцијализације и занемаривања од стране надлежних институција. Користећи методологију
студије случаја, подаци су прикупљени кроз анализу доступних
извора, интервјуа, фокус група и запажања. Истраживање обухвата
различите аспекте партиципативних пракси, укључујући њихове мотивације,
организацију и спровођење, као и њихове резултате на нивоу
појединца, заједнице и ширег друштва. Резултати показују да су грађани
развили разне стратегије за одбрану јавних простора, укључујући
протесте, петиције, јавне форуме, радне акције и кампање за информисање заједнице.
Дигитални алати, попут друштвених мрежа, одиграли су кључну улогу у
мобилизацији и подизању свести о проблемима везаним за деградацију
природног и урбаног простора. Иако су активности често наилазиле на отпор
приватних интереса и институционалне пасивности, њихова истрајност
резултирала је повећаном видљивошћу проблема и делимичним успехом у заштити
кључних јавних простора. Ове праксе истичу важност грађанског
ангажовања у демократизацији процеса доношења одлука и
очувању јавног интереса. Поред локалног значаја,
активности на Савском кеју имају шире импликације као пример добре
праксе партиципативне акције. Оне бацају светло на актуелна питања, као што су
управљање јавним просторима, заштита природних ресурса и
улога грађана у процесу доношења одлука. У раду се закључује
да партиципативне праксе нису само реакција на актуелне изазове
већ и средство за дугорочно оснаживање заједница, стварање
одрживог урбаног развоја и очување демократских вредности.
Ови налази могу послужити као инспирација другим локалним заједницама које се суочавају са
сличним изазовима
Enhancing Wellbeing In Public Urban Spaces Through Technology: A Case Study of Ada Huja, Belgrade [abstract]
No full textIntegrating technological solutions into public open spaces allows for better space
management by creating more pleasant environments for leisure and recreation. In recent
years, there have been more and more such solutions worldwide. Innovations are supported
both at the smallest scales of urban design and in planning. Using these innovative principles,
this paper explores how technological solutions can transform and improve the recreational
areas of Belgrade – Ada Huja, to support the overall well-being of its users. Studies confirm
that this can be achieved by promoting increased physical activity, mental relaxation, and
social interaction. This paper emphasizes the use of smart urban and recreational equipment,
sensors that track and adapt to the environment, and sensors that manage the environment.
The research is based on a qualitative approach, which includes a case study of Ada Huja in
Belgrade, Serbia, and examples from practice in which technology has been used to enhance
public parks. This paper aims to define the importance of improving the quality of space, using
technology as a tool, while maintaining or improving its ecological aspect. The research also
provides guidelines for planners and urban designers of Belgrade to form better solutions for
increasing user satisfaction in recreational spaces in the future. The results show the
importance of integrative planning and design, adapted to the local context, using
technological innovations for the design of spaces with better ecological characteristics,
spaces that are socially inclusive and that promote well-being
24/7: Spaces of Collective Practice - Learning through collaborative discussions and action drawing
No full text24/7 Spaces of Collective Practice showcases the work of students from the University of
Belgrade's Faculty of Architecture, who, through an experimental pedagogical framework,
explored the possibilities of everyday, all-day living in public and institutional spaces. By
engaging in collaborative work, dialogue, and spatial drawing, students reflected on architecture
born from immediate needs, with active involvement from the body, community, and context.
24/7 Spaces of Collective Practice not only showcases results but, more importantly, presents
a method - a form of learning that is collective, open, and grounded in exchange. Through collaborative work, drawing in physical space, and articulating space through action, the
project emphasizes design as a shared experience. In an era marked by fragmented educational models and growing individualism, this practice highlights the significance of common space - not only as a physical reality but also as a way of thinking. The common table becomes a site for exchanging ideas, while the tape on the floor serves as the first trace of architecture - one that emerges directly from life
Application of environmental remediation in the regeneration of brownfield area: petrochemical factory “Solventul” as a new gateway of Timosоara
No full textРегенерација браунфилд локација постала је једна од кључних тема у обнови урбаних подручја. Као напуштена индустријска земљишта, браунфилди представљају изазове за локалне заједнице и урбанисте, што се одражава кроз глобалне напоре да се деградиране индустријске зоне преобликују у одрживе и функционалне просторе прилагођене савременим животним стандардима. Истраживање ове теме доприноси проналажењу решења за ревитализацију постиндустријских зона, одржив урбанистички развој и ефикасно коришћење постојећих ресурса. Посебно је важно истаћи да су ове локације често смештене на атрактивним градским подручјима и заузимају велике површине, што додатно наглашава њихов значај за развој и планирање града.Мастер завршни рад се базира на интегралном приступу регенерацији браунфилд локације некадашње петрохемијске фабрике „Солвентул” („Solventul”) у Темишвару, у Румунији, са посебним нагласком на ремедијацију земљишта као тежишту трансформације деградираних индустријских простора у одрживе урбане целине. У контексту савременог урбанизма и архитектуре, ремедијација земљишта представља не само технички изазов, већ и креативну прилику да се простор обнови и добије нови урбани идентитет, чиме постаје пример споја науке и уређења градског простора. Управо је ово био разлог да се у мастер тези теоријски овај поступак преклопи са начинима урбане регенерације града. При томе је посебан фокус на савременим техникама, попут биоремедијације, које омогућавају ефикасно чишћење контаминираних површина, истовремено чувајући екосистеме и унапређујући урбани предеоПримена еколошке ремедијације у регенерацији браунфилд подручја: Петрохемијска фабрика „Солвентул“ као нова капија Темишвара / кандидат: Милица Спаји
Bogdan Bogdanović: Mitski pejzaž i mitski crtež
No full textУ разматрању архитектонског и урбанистичког стваралаштва Богдана Богдановића, цртеж заузима средишње место и то не само као техничко изражајно средство, већ као примарни начин процеса мишљења, визуелне генезе и обликовања идеја. Богдановићев цртачки опус показује да цртеж превазилази границе конвенционалног представљања простора и постаје аутентични начин истраживања и експериментисања архитектонским формама комбинујући их са ширим и често неочекиваним културним и мисаоним наративима. У том смислу, цртеж не представља само архитектонски алат, већ је сам за себе једна комплексна визуелна структура путем које се успоставља однос између пејзажа, културних слојева, архитектуре и самог аутора. Посебно значајан је појам митског пејзажа, којим се код Богдановића може означити сложени, готово наративни, мултипростор колективних сећања, архетипских слика и културних слојева у чијем оквиру се дешава људско симболичко разумевање. Како бисмо разумели семиотички потенцијал Богдановићевог цртежа морамо се усмерити на анализу генезе архитектуре кроз Богдановићев цртачки поступак у контексту пејзажа као онтолошке и семиотичке категорије
Comparative life cycle assessment of embedded materials in the common wall types: case of the contemporary Serbian building practice [abstract]
No full textSustainable construction, in addition to meeting energy efficiency requirements, requires reducing the environmental impact of building materials. In this context, the production stage plays a crucial role in determining the overall sustainability of building materials. This study analyzes the environmental and energy aspects of the initial phase of the life cycle of building materials predominantly used in modern construction and building renovation in Serbia. The research focuses on materials used for external walls, as external walls constitute the largest portion of a building's overall structure and significantly influence its energy efficiency and sustainability. The most commonly used materials for the core of the external wall construction, such as hollow clay blocks, autoclaved aerated concrete blocks, and cast reinforced concrete, form the basis for the comparative analysis. The study assesses the environmental and energy characteristics of these materials as they are embedded in wall systems. The study examines wall assemblies with an insulation layer and plaster finishing layers, while varying the basic structural component of the wall. The thickness of the thermal insulation layer depends on the basic part of the wall, ensuring that approximately the same thermal transmittance coefficients are achieved while meeting the requirements of the applicable Rulebook on Energy Efficiency in Serbia. Using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, the research focuses on two key indicators: Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Cumulative Energy Demand (CED) from fossil sources. The results provide detailed insights into the differences in the environmental impact and energy efficiency of these materials. The study highlights significant advantages and disadvantages of different materials regarding greenhouse gas emissions, cumulative energy demand as indicators of achieved sustainability

Hybrid Intelligence as Artificial Life in Design: Selected Notions for Investigating Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Systems in Relation to Architectural and Urban Studies
No full textThe paper will analyse the most recent modes of hybrid intelligence and generative design principles for possible application in architectural and urban studies. Such an objective follows the question of contributions to the body of work on hybrid algorithmic design arising from these studies and their influence on the way the field can evolve as a consequence of various responses to urban and architectural requirements. Due to the inherent transdisciplinarity of the topic and the fact that explanation requires the convergence of a larger number of areas external to architectural and urban studies, adjacent scientific fields from where these studies have drawn primary sources of operative knowledge will enter a discussion. Considering the range of algorithmic AI and evolutionary attributes that support their advanced hybrid algorithmic structures and performances as either a major condition for achieving design goals or a key means to trace their way forward, it becomes important to properly explain the relationship that makes such design approach viable, involving: major concepts of human-machine interaction, human agents, and artificial agency of various abstract and technical character (abstract and real machines). Having considered the fact that generative principles from nature constitute the basis of all their machine-related interpretations and artificial life, through references explaining this view, the major part of the study will focus on the most recent algorithmic forms and forms of human-machine collaboration grounded in computer sciences, cognitive sciences, biotechnologies, and neurosciences, which result in the argued form of hybrid generative artificial intelligence (hybrid GenAI). With different algorithmic structures and types in mind, the study will try to establish a proper equivalent between the current algorithmic evolutionary and non-evolutionary strategies and generative design strategies, arriving at the latest design application of advanced computational practices related to postulated hybrid intelligence—hybridisation of artificial intelligence with human intelligence in a generative framework.Napomena autora: Page 588 of the version of the paper that was issued online in January 2026 (https://doi.fil.bg.ac.rs/volume.php?pt=eb_ser&issue=arh_pt-2025-10&i=69) contained an error: In line 2 of the first paragraph, the verb at the end of the sentence was published as "have be applied" instead of "have been applied." The "Correction" included in the version of the document submitted to the Repository of the Faculty of Architecture refers to the amendment of this error: the stated verb form has been revised to "have been applied," and the corrected form of the sentence that contains it is as follows: "Design process ends not with a single, known-in-advance, and predefined result, but with a set of variations upon which multiple mutations and crossovers have been applied.
Tech-enhanced placemaking: revitalizing public spaces in the border towns of RNM
No full textSmall towns, particularly those located at borders, are increasingly impacted by globalization, which
brings both challenges and opportunities. Such are the eastern border towns in North Macedonia
(RNM), which face the challenge of revitalizing public spaces to better meet the needs of their resi-
dents and visitors. These towns, rich in cultural heritage, require a balanced approach to moderniza-
tion while maintaining their unique urban identity.
The paper will focus on the public spaces of two towns – Berovo, a mountainous town, and Dojran,
a lakeside tourist destination, exploring the possibilities of their upgrading through technological in-
novations. Aiming at the improvement of user experience, accessibility, the level and intensity of
interaction between different users, the applicability of various technological tools will be considered
within the framework of traditional placemaking.
The study will provide an insight into the multiple use of public spaces, as well as into their optimal
technological enhancement contributing their vibrancy, emotional well-being, attractiveness and local
development.Editors: Aleksandra Djukic, Milena Vukmirovic, Eva Vanista Lazarevic, Aleksandra Krstic Furundzic, Nikola Mitrovi
