There are numerous membrane-covered sports facilities in Niš. They have become popular over the last two decades due to their low cost and rapid construction. However, they are known to provide poor indoor thermal conditions, and methods for improving their performance are still being investigated. This research forms part of that effort. A ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Climate changes in recent decades have led to an increase in hydro-meteorological hazards, posing increasing risks to hydropower infrastructure in mountainous river basins. In the Black Drim Basin, extreme precipitation, erosion, landslides, sediment transport, and debris accumulation threaten dam safety, functionality and operational reliability. ...

A theoretical model for porous viscoelastoplastic (VEP) materials under dry conditions is examined based on the principles of mass and energy conservation using rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA). The model provides the expressions for the creep coefficient, Poisson's ratio, modulus of elasticity, damage variable and strength in the function of po...

Two approaches for beam-to-beam contact modeling are considered in the paper. The first is the classic continuum approach with point-to-point contact discretization. The other is the coarsegrained approach where the physical intermolecular fields are applied for the modeling of interaction of continuous bodies. To describe the contact, the repulsiv...

The detection of erosion was carried out on a characteristic rocky pillar, with the localization and quantification of differences between two surfaces. For this purpose, based on the defined area and spatial configuration of the scanning object, scanner positions, arrangement of control points, and appropriate spatial scanning resolution were plan...
