Postwar modernist urbanism remains labelled by dominant narratives that frame modernism primarily through failure and postmodern rejection. While critiques of modernist planning have largely emerged from Western European and North American contexts, this study argues that such interpretations cannot be universally applied. The paper provides new ar...

Wind action on engineering structures can cause significant consequences. Arched structures covered with textile membranes (balloon halls) are particularly vulnerable. This paper presents a study of wind action on structures with arched roofs and flat gable walls. The analysis was conducted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), with variations ...

Architectural education has often advanced at a slower pace than the rapid transformations of spatial practice and society. Within this imbalance, the architectural workshop emerges as a condensed yet intensive format of experimentation, providing a distinctive environment for testing pedagogical approaches. This study critically examines the works...

Modernist architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina remains marginalised within official heritage frameworks, with only limited institutional recognition. This study explores social media as an extended research environment for examining contemporary perceptions and social constructions of modernist heritage values. Using a case study of Kazimir Ostro...

This study analyses daylight availability in a faculty lecture classroom using illuminance measurements and a survey of students. The results of the measurements conducted in mid-February showed that the recommended horizontal illuminance level (300 lx) was achieved at 50% of the measurement points around midday (12:00 h and 14:00 h), while only 0&...

This paper presents a critical review of passive and semi-active structural control systems for improving seismic performance and resilience. It synthesizes fundamental control principles with recent advances in energy dissipation technologies. Emphasis is placed on experimental validation to bridge the gap between analytical models and real struct...

Urban environments are increasingly affected by air pollution and urban heat island (UHI) effects, requiring integrated monitoring approaches. Within the Space It Up! project, this work presents coordinated research lines combining Earth Observation (EO) data and data-driven methods. The air quality component includes methane screening, multi-sourc...

The Architecture of Emptiness is an urban-architectural approach that focuses on the qualities and possibilities of unbuilt space, giving it primacy over built space. The proposed approach explores how emptiness can act as a generative force for urban-architectural pieces and how, in return, it echoes its built and natural environment. It highlight...

Climate changes in recent decades have led to an increase in hydro-meteorological hazards, posing increasing risks to hydropower infrastructure in mountainous river basins. In the Black Drim Basin, extreme precipitation, erosion, landslides, sediment transport, and debris accumulation threaten dam safety, functionality and operational reliability. ...

The Knićanin–Čenta subcatchment area, located in Central Banat, is a fertile agricultural region whose water regime is significantly influenced by the water levels of the surrounding rivers—the Danube, Tisa, Begej, as well as the Karaš canal. During May and June 2019, while the TurkStream gas pipeline was under construction, the ...
