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...

This paper presents an integrated hydraulic, energy and economic analysis of two diversion-system alternatives for the small hydropower plant “Merćez” on the Lukovska River. Two technical concepts are considered: Alternative I – water conveyance through a pressurized steel pipeline, and Alternative II – an open-channel diver...

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...

Urban environments are increasingly affected by air pollution and urban heat island (UHI) effects, requiring integrated monitoring approaches. Within the Space It Up! project, this work presents coordinated research lines combining Earth Observation (EO) data and data-driven methods. The air quality component includes methane screening, multi-sourc...

Low-rise, high-density housing (further LRHD housing) represents an alternative model for solving contemporary housing issues in urban areas. However this specific typological form is not recognized in local urban planning and legislative frameworks. The aim of this research is to explore the possibilities for development of LRHD housing within loc...

This paper analyzes the presence and quality of urban green areas in two local communities in the City of Banja Luka, namely: Lazarevo 1 and Lazarevo 2. The aim is to examine which categories and types of green areas are most represented in the study area and what is the quality of existing tree-lines. Two research questions were asked: whether all...

The paper analyzes four variants of conformal azimuthal projections for the territory of the Republic of Serbia. In the procedure, a double conformal mapping was applied. As it is common practice to perform mapping in azimuthal projections from a sphere to a plane, it was initially necessary to perform a conformal mapping from the ellipsoid to the ...

This paper presents the application of geodetic and hydrological measurements to define the water balance in the example of a lake in an alluvial medium. The purpose of the above is to provide insight into parts of the lake's water balance since evaporation from the water surface (evaporation) and precipitation, along with infiltration and surface ...
