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...

Blackwater, the wastewater stream with the highest sanitary and energy load, is increasingly seen as a resource within circular urban systems. This paper explores its valorization through anaerobic digestion and decentralized planning. Using Banja Luka as a case study, key energy, economic, and spatial thresholds for local treatment feasibility are...

This study analyses daylight availability in a faculty lecture classroom using illuminance measurements and a survey of students. The results of the measurements conducted in mid-February showed that the recommended horizontal illuminance level (300 lx) was achieved at 50% of the measurement points around midday (12:00 h and 14:00 h), while only 0&...

This paper presents a critical review of passive and semi-active structural control systems for improving seismic performance and resilience. It synthesizes fundamental control principles with recent advances in energy dissipation technologies. Emphasis is placed on experimental validation to bridge the gap between analytical models and real struct...

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...

The Architecture of Emptiness is an urban-architectural approach that focuses on the qualities and possibilities of unbuilt space, giving it primacy over built space. The proposed approach explores how emptiness can act as a generative force for urban-architectural pieces and how, in return, it echoes its built and natural environment. It highlight...
