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 study analyzes the need to transform the traditional two-dimensional cadastre in the Republic of Srpska into a multidimensional system (3D/4D). The research aims to examine the compliance of the current real estate records with the international standard ISO 19152 (LADM) and to identify the key prerequisites for introducing the third and fourt...

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 ...
