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...

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 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...
