Inherited multi-family housing estates from the socialist period remain a major residential layer in the former Yugoslav republics, while their public open spaces (POS) often decline under post-socialist governance and market pressures. This paper provides a selective overview of three good-practice pathways for (re)creating POS: participatory upgr...

This paper presents a vulnerability assessment of an historical masonry building representative of early 20th-century construction. The structure consists of load-bearing masonry walls with timber floors and lacks seismic detailing. The methodology included visual inspection, typological classification and simplified control analysis. Observed dama...

This study focuses on collecting data on non-existent architectural heritage and transforming it into structured input for AI visualization, based on the case study of the Chapel of Saint Petka in Brestač, which was demolished after the Second World War and the early communist period. Archival documents, cartographic sources, and interviews with wi...

The urban transformation of Banja Luka, which during the final period of socialism (1975–1990), was guided by the City’s Urban Plan, has proceeded without a clear strategic vision of urban development since the late 1990s. During this period, the city developed according to detailed regulatory plans and was strongly influenced by neolib...

Although Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) has significantly enhanced the efficiency of urban topographic mapping, its performance in dense urban environments remains subject to multiple operational constraints. This paper examines key factors affecting data reliability, including GNSS signal degradation, IMU drift, occlusions, and point density variabil...

This paper presents a comprehensive condition assessment of the campus garage at the University of Banja Luka. The assessment methodology included visual inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT) of concrete using rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity methods, and proof load testing of the primary roof truss. Deformations were monitored usi...

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...

This paper examines Orthodox church architecture through the concept of actualizing space, proposing that sacred architecture becomes fully intelligible only through the liturgical event that activates its spatial structure. Rather than focusing on stylistic continuity, the study interprets church architecture as a hierarchical and sequential spati...
