Due to their structural flexibility and rapid construction, membrane sports halls are an increasingly common solution for sports facilities. In this paper, the annual energy consumption of membrane halls in five different climate contexts was analyzed using simulations conducted in EnergyPlus: Prague, Cannes, Niš, Bergen, and Dawadmi. The re...

Blackwater, the wastewater stream with the highest sanitary and energy load, is increasingly seen as a resource within circular urban systems. This paper explores its valorization through anaerobic digestion and decentralized planning. Using Banja Luka as a case study, key energy, economic, and spatial thresholds for local treatment feasibility are...

This paper examines the development of forms in memorial architecture, from prehistoric structures to abstract monuments. It demonstrates how basic patterns such as circular structures, pyramidal forms, and simple geometric shapes have established enduring principles in memorial design. Over time, these forms have evolved under the influence of rel...
