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, ...

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...

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...

The URBACT EU programme launched a special call – URBACT Pioneer Accelerator – for small-scale projects in the Western Balkan cities in early 2025. Niš in Serbia is among the cities selected to implement it in the topic of urban nature. A specific of this URBACT call is its final step – a concrete pilot at local level. In t...

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 research is inspired by the acquiring of the personal and professional archive of the architect Petar Vulović (1931 – 2017) by University of Banja Luka Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy. Vulović was a distinguished architect of high-to-late modernism in Yugoslavia, whose body of work progressively came to be treated ...

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 ...
