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...

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...

Urban heritage sites that have undergone radical spatial transformation present major challenges for conservation practice and urban planners. This paper examines the research methodology behind the revitalization project of the former Tutunović Podrum site in the Palilula municipality of Niš. Once the geometric and social centre of the dist...

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 ...

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...

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...
