WIND FLOW MODELING IN EARLY URBAN DESIGN
Buildings affect the wind flow pattern over an urban area. The wind has a significant effect on the comfort and safety of pedestrians, urban microclimate, and pollutant dispersion. It is important to include wind flow modeling in the early urban design to minimize wind safety issues and ensure pedestrian comfort. In this paper, numerical simulation...

Acoustic Treatment of Space by Implementing Parametric Panels
The development of software tools has enabled more detailed analysis of the acoustic properties of a space. Therefore, this research explores the possibility of improving the acoustic and aesthetic qualities of a space through the implementation of parametric wall panels. The research was conducted in two phases. As part of the first phase, the abs...

Erasing Memory: The Destruction of Generalštab and the loss of architectural identity
The ongoing destruction of the Generalštab complex in Belgrade, designed by Nikola Dobrović, represents a critical loss to modernist architecture, urban identity, and collective memory. Built between 1955 and 1965, the complex is a masterpiece of Yugoslav modernism, integrating symbolic topography, tectonic expression, and spatial dynamism, ...

APPLICATION OF THREE REGRESSION METHODS FOR FILLING MISSING VALUES OF ANNUAL MAXIMUM DAILY PRECIPITATION
This study examines the effectiveness of three regression methods – multiple linear, random forest, and log-linear (gamma) when applied to annual maximum daily precipitation data sets to fill in missing values. Gridded observations data of extreme daily precipitation, sourced from the Digital Climate Atlas of Serbia platform, were utilized fo...

Biomimetic forms in architecture: definition, applications and challenges
The implementation of biomimicry as a design approach in architecture is still in its early stages. Biomimicry is defined as a solution to design problems inspired by natural patterns and has a wide range of applications in architecture, from materials, form, to regenerative ecosystem level. The primary purpose of this paper is to inve...

Heating a Residential Building Using Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS) and Partial Earth-Burial - A Case Study
The most significant amount of electrical energy is obtained by burning fossil fuels, which release substantial amounts of harmful gases, that contribute to environmental degradation. Because the most crucial part of the energy produced is used during the construction and operation of buildings, it is necessary to build buildings that can provide t...

Indoor Environmental Quality in Schools through Thermo-Technical System Upgrades
Recent studies emphasize the importance of energy efficiency in public buildings, with particular attention to school facilities. While much research focuses on enhancing the thermal performance of building envelopes, it is equally crucial to analyze the indoor environment, especially thermal comfort. Since classrooms are designed for younger popul...

PHOTOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF HOMOGENIZED X-RAY IMAGES IN DETERMINING THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WOOD: PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Previous research demonstrated a link between wood strength and brightness intensity in X-ray images. Wood samples were subjected to compression testing along and across the grain, with X-ray imaging performed on the same specimens before the mechanical tests. Differences in the brightness of X-ray images of test specimens were clearly noticeable, ...
