Ecological Approach to Urban Design: Meanings and Pathways [Predavanje po pozivu štampano u izvodu]
Get PDFIt has been widely assumed that responding to contemporary environmental challenges requires a shift towards an ecological approach to how we plan and design cities and that ecological urban design can bring positive changes to urban life and the environment. But in practice, “ecological design” is often interpreted in a simplistic way (e.g., as “green” technical solutions) and does not use the full potential of the urban design – ecology nexus.
The lecture provides an overview of different meanings of ecology and the ways they relate to urbanism in theory and practice. We explore how different understandings of “ecology” and “ecological” influence the purpose, scope, scale, and process of urban design. The aim is to reveal and discuss contemporary pathways to linking ecology and urban design and to outline the implications of the findings for architecture and urban design education.
We argue that a broader understanding of ecology is needed if we are to respond to environmental challenges in a creative and place-specific way through urban design. In the broad sense, ecology is about relations and relationships in different realms, at different scales and times. An ecological approach to urban design is, therefore, not only about knowing when and how to implement “ecological measures” as instant solutions, but also how to creatively restore broken links and develop strategies for the new, life-supporting ecologies to occur. By encouraging ecological thinking, academic education should help students develop ecological literacy and worldview.Conference Eco-friendly Built Environment, March 1-2, 2023, Belgrade .

Dataset on Bac settlement stakeholders' perspectives on integrative urban design play as an instrument for managing wicked urban regeneration issues in sustainable way
Get PDFThe presented data provides insights into the perspectives of influential stakeholders within the Bac community in Serbia regarding sustainable urban regeneration, urban design, and the role of integrative urban design. The data was collected subsequent to a collaborative workshop held in 2010, titled ``Integrative Urban Design Play (IUP) for Urban Regeneration on Bac Suburbia.'' During this workshop, attendees acquired novel insights into participatory approaches for fostering sustainable urban regeneration. The objective of the survey was to assess the perspectives of the different stakeholders regarding the feasibility of introducing novel urban development approaches in areas that are under conservation protection.
The intent of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of a learning by doing approach in the implementation of new methods in urban development practise, with a focus on supporting broader concepts such as sustainability and urban regeneration. The research was designed to explore the varying perspectives of relevant stakeholders based on their profession to examine the potential for their clustering towards integrating diverse opinions into a broader understanding using IUP.
The efficacy of the IUP in addressing wicked urban regeneration problems, particularly in raising public awareness about the preservation, introduction, and promotion of essential values in protected suburban regions, was assessed through the administration of questionnaires. The questions were organised into three distinct categories: viewpoints on sustainable urban regeneration, perspectives on urban design, and perspectives on knowledge and readiness for future engagement in the Integrative Urban Design Game. A collaborative effort was undertaken by the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade and the Municipality of Bac, Serbia, to administer an anonymous survey. This survey was disseminated to pertinent stakeholders representing the public sector.
The participants in the research exhibited diversity in terms of their occupation, level of experience, and age range, which spanned from 30 to 60 years old. They were chosen from among the attendees of the workshop based on their demonstrated interest, whether overt or covert, in addressing the complex issue at hand. A total of 28.57 percent of the participants were employed in the economic sector, specifically in tourism or management. Similarly, 14.28 percent of the examinees worked in the field of environmental studies, focusing on energy efficiency or natural resource protection. Another 14.28 percent were engaged in the legal profession, while 21.42 percent were involved in media and cultural activities. Additionally, 7.14 percent of the examinees were dedicated to the preservation of cultural heritage.
The present paper presents findings that illustrate the level of stakeholder receptiveness towards the sustained utilization of integrative methodologies, such as IUP, within the realm of local planning practice subsequent to the acquisition of novel knowledge and skills via workshops and training sessions. This paper showcases the efficacy of employing participatory techniques and skills to modify urban development and planning practices, with the aim of fostering shared understanding and agreement on environmental values. Consequently, it provides evidence of the effectiveness of the implemented approach within the specific community, as well as its potential applicability in similar communities
On the Other Side of Mirror – A Workshop on Incorporating Geometry of Mirroring in Architectural Practice and Applied Arts
Get PDFThe magic world of mirrors, their application, integration in interiors and exposure in exteriors, intrigues architectural designers and artists for a long time. Inspired with wide recent usages of mirrors in innovative architectural designs practice, as well as in arts, and grounded our understanding on well-known geometric/optic principles of mirroring, the authors conceptualized a Workshop that was offered to students of architecture, forestry and applied arts, as an extracurricular two-weeks activity. After briefly introducing a historical/chronological overview of mirrors application in architectural design practice and applied art, relevant theoretical aspects of mirroring were demonstrated on the Workshop. The participating students were offered two possibilities for integration of mirrors in their design-outcomes: to experiment with analogue models and digital/computing ones. For that reason, a large amount of small glass mirror parts was provided. Also, functional parametric families of digital mirrors (planar, concave and convex) were developed especially for the workshop and offered on-line. Particular foci of this paper are on both: the teaching methodology that was exclusively prepared for the Workshop, and specific usage of experimentation (to trigger unusual ideas and to utilize relevant familiar methods and procedural activities in the new – this context). In the discussion part of this study, a systematized overview of the Workshop results and its analysis from geometric and semantic point of view are given. The results are divided into: first interim critique, second interim critique and final submission. Through a generalization of conclusions, the lessons learned, namely, the level of subject-related geometric knowledge acquired from this unique teaching experience are reviewed, and an analysis of their possible applications in other pedagogic contexts related to geometry-teaching is presented
Placemaking and Networking of Heritage for Sustainable Tourism
Get PDFThe heritage as emotional investment of the citizens is important resource for the communities affirming their local identity and establishing the great potential for development of tourism. The richness in the cultural heritage and historic layers are one of the main characteristics of European cities and towns. The paper will focus on how small and medium sized towns in Europe can enhance heritage with the increase a sustainable tourism that is competitive by using the different tools (digital, collaborative, design) in networking of the heritage sites and placemaking. The small and medium towns are in the focus of the research because they are shrinking during the last few decades that is caused by the depopulation and socio-economic factors. Developing of small and medium cities through their heritage promotions, enhance tourism as a milestone for their urban development and promotion. Sustainable development of tourism could be achieved by strengthening the ties between different actors in the process of placemaking, enhancing the relations and interactions between tourism, cultural heritage and local inhabitants using digital tools. One of the goals is to try to depict relation between physical heritage networks and linked digital tools.
Cultural assets are of great importance for revitalize small cities and endargered towns, but these are not enough if investments are missing. It is necessary to attract them for living again, rebuilding the lost commercial activities and public services. Heritage and tourism are closely connected, from one hand heritage is one of the major stimuly for cultural tourism and on the other hand heritage sites can improve their preservation by tourism. But the relationship between the two can be conflictual due to a possible overuse and consequent deterioration of heritage sites due to different needs and strategies between the two fields. A new placemaking strategy must be developed that considers how tuorism can influence (positive or negative) the suistanaibility of cultural heritage overview as well as heritage role in the local identity.
By critical analysies of literature and selected cases from different countries in Europe, we hope to present proposals for strenghtening the heritage potentials for sustainable tourism in small and medium sized towns, focusing on the junction of scientific theories and practical experiences. The paper highlights the findings and lessons learned from selected cases from Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Romania and Serbia. Final intentions of the paper are to present the variety of possible ways to use networking of heritage site and stakeholders as a medium for placemaking in favour of both local population and prospective tourists

Framework for the complex and integrated refurbishment of multi-family housing stock of Serbia using volumetric additions
Get PDFThis paper presents the framework for the application of complex and integrated refurbishment to the existing multi-family housing stock in Serbia. The subject of the research is the application of the strategy of complex and integrated refurbishment by adding volumes (increasing usable space) to existing multi-family buildings with the primary goal of achieving higher energy efficiency while remodeling and modernizing residential units and improving vertical building communications. The paper investigates the framework for the implementation of that strategy. The framework encompasses several interrelated aspects for complex and integrated refurbishments, such as determining the energy, spatial, organizational, and functional deficiencies of the building; an analysis of the urban planning parameters; a determination of the stakeholder roles; an analysis of the possibility of volumetric additions; an analysis of the use of environmentally friendly and natural materials; an analysis of the structural capacity of the building; and an analysis of the economic feasibility of the complex refurbishment. The research identified the advantages and limitations of applying the volumetric addition strategy to multi-family residential stock in Serbia
Affirming the concept of continuity through the notion of border: Case study of the meander buildings in New Belgrade’s block 23 [STRAND 2023]
Get PDFNew Belgrade was developed on modernist principles focused on the essence of dwelling, along with the idea of continuity based on the formation of fluid, liminal spaces and designing "from the inside out". In accordance with the aforementioned, the research premise is that the long-term recognition of New Belgrade residential blocks overall quality can be reflected in the preservation of human-scale continuity, which therefore also ensures temporal continuity - the sustainability of project over time. The drawing maps relevant boundaries on a micro and macro scale, which affirm the continuity of modernist dwelling ideas in the present-day.https://www.strand.rs/2023-book-exhibition
Going Green-Less: A Morphological and Functional Study of Decreasing Green Public Spaces in Novi Beograd, Serbia [abstract]
No full textThe approach to urban planning and development of public spaces supporting healthy lifestyles and well-being within the wider context of green infrastructure in Belgrade, Serbia, has undergone an observable and measurable shift. Various factors have contributed to a decline in the planning and implementation of these spaces, particularly for newly designed residential developments, with the most significant prominence observed since the beginning of the 21st century.
This paper seeks to examine the spatial and non-spatial factors that contributed to the decrease in the previously established urban planning approach for green public spaces. Changes in laws and regulations, transformation in lifestyle perspectives, and the impact of globalization can all be attributed to the resulting spatial impacts. This paper will utilize five case studies, focusing on residential blocks within the Novi Beograd municipality (Blocks 19a, Block 30, Block A, Belville and West 65), to illustrate the shift in urban planning perspective and its outcomes. Through a comparative study of these cases, a clear change in approach when conceiving and implementing green public spaces is demonstrated.
In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of the resulting spatial impacts stemming from the examined changes in perspective, this research will present a set of applicable guidelines for future developments, encompassing both theoretical and practical aspects. As urban planning practices for new developments increasingly disregard the requirements of public spaces that support healthy lifestyles, notably in human interaction and well-being, this topic remains continuously relevant
