A NON-DESTRUCTIVE APPROACH TO THE SUSTAINABLE CONSERVATION OF BUILT HERITAGE
Heritage buildings represent tangible links between present and past; embody the creativity and traditions from past generations. The distinctive character of these buildings, primarily expressed through their authenticity and inherited values, emphasizes the need for innovative and carefully adapted conservation approaches. In this context, the pr...

ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF MEMBRANE SPORTS HALLS: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ACROSS CLIMATIC CONTEXTS
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...

PROCESSING OF NON-EXISTENT ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE FOR AI VISUALIZATION, А CASE STUDY OF THE CHAPEL OF SAINT PETKA IN BRESTAČ
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...

FROM WASTE TO RESOURCE: BIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM BLACKWATER THROUGH DECENTRALIZED URBAN PLANNING MODELS
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...

SPATIAL ORGANISATION AND POST-SOCIALIST TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE BUILDINGS OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE LEAGUE OF COMMUNISTS OF YUGOSLAVIA
The buildings of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia in Skopje, Zagreb and Belgrade form a corpus of socialist modernist architecture in which spatial organisation structured political authority across diverse urban contexts. Developed within a shared modernist framework, they articulated governance through controlled ac...

REASSESING MODERNISM THROUGH THE YUGOSLAV LENS
Postwar modernist urbanism remains labelled by dominant narratives that frame modernism primarily through failure and postmodern rejection. While critiques of modernist planning have largely emerged from Western European and North American contexts, this study argues that such interpretations cannot be universally applied. The paper provides new ar...

CONSTRUCTIVIST PEDAGOGY IN ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM WORKSHOPS: CASE STUDY OF THE RED KIOSK
Architectural education has often advanced at a slower pace than the rapid transformations of spatial practice and society. Within this imbalance, the architectural workshop emerges as a condensed yet intensive format of experimentation, providing a distinctive environment for testing pedagogical approaches. This study critically examines the works...

DEVELOPING A CFD NUMERICAL MODEL FOR WIND ANALYSIS OF BUILDINGS WITH ARCHED ROOF
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 ...

INTEGRATING LIFE-CYCLE THINKING INTO BUILDING RENOVATION PRACTICES: AN OVERVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
Decarbonizing the existing building stock requires moving beyond an approach based solely on reducing operational energy consumption and toward an integrated life-cycle assessment perspective. The standardization framework for building renovation encompasses energy performance, life-cycle assessment (LCA), environmental product declarations (EPDs),...

APPLICATION OF THE EPA SWMM SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR HYDRAULIC FLOOD SIMULATION IN THE AREA OF KNIĆANIN AND ČENTA DURING 2019
The Knićanin–Čenta subcatchment area, located in Central Banat, is a fertile agricultural region whose water regime is significantly influenced by the water levels of the surrounding rivers—the Danube, Tisa, Begej, as well as the Karaš canal. During May and June 2019, while the TurkStream gas pipeline was under construction, the ...
