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...

Membrane halls represent a specific category of light, membrane constructions that are widely used for sports and recreational purposes due to their quick construction and economic efficiency. However, their application is often accompanied by challenges related to inadequate thermal performance, suboptimal daylight conditions and limited architect...

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...

The buildings of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia in Skopje, Zagreb and Belgrade form a corpus of socialist modernist architecture in which spatial organisation structured political authority across diverse urban contexts. Developed within a shared modernist framework, they articulated governance through controlled ac...

Urban heritage sites that have undergone radical spatial transformation present major challenges for conservation practice and urban planners. This paper examines the research methodology behind the revitalization project of the former Tutunović Podrum site in the Palilula municipality of Niš. Once the geometric and social centre of the dist...

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 ...

Abrasion resistance is a critical durability parameter of foamed concrete applied in floor screeds and wear - exposed surface layers. Owing to its cellular structure, abrasion performance depends on bubble morphology, including size, distribution and uniformity. This paper presents an experimental study combining high - magnification microscopy wit...

The paper explores the impact of location on the architectural form of family corner houses built during the interwar period and designed in the spirit of modernism. The specificity of a corner house's design lies in its conditioning by its urban position; on the other hand, a corner location demands that the house stands out as a landmark within t...

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...
