This paper reframes the research question of housing by shifting the focus from the optimization of the universal housing types toward an investigation of dwelling as a dynamic, relational and experiential process. The study proposes an integrative conceptual framework based on three theoretical approaches  phenomenology (of space), performa...

Contact mechanics plays a central role in many engineering applications and remains a challenging topic in numerical simulation due to the presence of strong nonlinearities. This paper presents a review of contact formulations developed within the framework of isogeometric analysis (IGA). After outlining classical finite element contact approaches ...

Intensive urbanization increases impervious cover, accelerates stormwater runoff, and aggravates flooding, water pollution, and urban heat island effects. This paper provides a critical narrative review of pervious concrete as a multifunctional material for sustainable stormwater management. The review synthesizes studies on hydraulic performance, ...

Contemporary urban transformations in smaller historic cities often threaten spatial and cultural identity due to context-insensitive design. This paper explores the role of contemporary architecture in preserving and reinterpreting urban identity, using Novi Pazar and Prvomajska Street as a case study. The research combines theoretical concepts of...

This paper evaluates methods for estimating evapotranspiration (ET) and their influence on irrigation system design, using a case study from Modriča, Republic of Srpska. We compare empirical, physically-based, and remote sensing approaches including Thornthwaite, Hargreaves–Samani, Jensen–Haise, Linacre, McGuinness and FAO Penman–...
