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...

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 ...

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...

Runoff modelling in karst areas represents a specific challenge, due to inherent complexity and uncertainty of underground flow paths. Utilization of physical relationships to describe the individual components of the runoff requires a much more detailed understanding of the conditions in the basin. However, the application of such models, with an ...

This study examines student creative collectives as semi-professional formations linking architectural education and practice, focusing on micro-level team dynamics. Four APLExMANIA teams are evaluated across four domains: group formation, extra-curricular learning, visibility networks, and latent capacity. Using a joint display approach, the resea...

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...

Green architecture is recognized not only for its environmental and social advantages but also for its financial and market benefits. The study combines a quantitative analysis of operational cost reduction and investment return with a qualitative assessment of property value and socio-economic impacts. Case studies and literature illustrate both m...

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...
