PILOT ELICITATION OF LOCAL NAVIGATION PARAMETERS FOR PEDESTRIAN WAYFINDING: A BANJA LUKA CASE STUDY
Pedestrian route choice in cities depends both on the overall structure of the street network and on local decisions made at points of directional change. While space syntax has shown the importance of configurational relations, wayfinding and navigation tasks point to additional cognitive mechanisms related to landmarks, route legibility, and task...

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BUBBLE MORPHOLOGY AND ABRASION RESISTANCE OF FOAMED CONCRETE
Abrasion resistance is a critical durability parameter of foamed concrete applied in floor screeds and wear - exposed surface layers. Owing to its cellular structure, abrasion performance depends on bubble morphology, including size, distribution and uniformity. This paper presents an experimental study combining high - magnification microscopy wit...

EVOLUTION OF APPLIED FORMS IN MEMORIAL ARCHITECTURE: FROM PREHISTORIC STRUCTURES TO MODERN INTERPRETATIONS
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...

ARCHITECTURE OF EMPTINESS – Conception, Poetics and Praxis
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...
