By redefining the notion of fragmentarity and existing theoretical conceptions, from romantic fascination with ruins to the contemporary position of variability, the paper places incompleteness as the essential potentiality of form, imagination and contingency in a way that opens new spacetime categories. In the paper, fragmentation is understood as a model for interpreting reality and for examining the capacity of architectural incompleteness. Setting complexity as the context, change as the method and variability as the model for understanding the architectural contemporaries within its reality, spatial and temporal uncertainty become characteristics of the fragmentation and destabilization of relations - their reflection. This way of structuring order out of chaos, or destabilizing order for the purpose of new structures, is the complexity of a higher order. The uncaptured nature of all things, in distracting the new, transports its own limitations, thematized through places of change, separation and path - specific singularities, allowing flexibility through imperfection. The elusive nature of all things, in opening to the new, transcends its own limitations, thematizing itself through places of change, separation and cracking. These are specific singularities that allow flexibility through incompleteness, thus opening up towards new forms of reality, between uncertainty and indeterminacy - in the zone of their overlap, space and time become fragmented. This true spontaneity is the greatest complexity that carries within itself the power of change and essential potentiality - a meaning that is always just emerging. The question of the degree of incompleteness is in the core of the concept of openness, in which the alteration of form and geometry take place.

A division between urban and rural settlements/areas has been traditionally applied in statistical reporting worldwide. The reports applying these terms have been used to create and implement development policies and measures. However, international policies such as those featured by the European Union (EU), as well as national policies, also recognize, define and render transitional types of settlements. The Program of Implementation of the Spatial Plan of the Republic of Serbia (2010) called for a new definition of the term "settlement" determined by new criteria for a settlement typology by the end of 2015. Except for theoretical contributions, this task has not been completed yet. At the same time, a trichotomous settlement typology has been recommended to Serbia by the EU as a result of the accession process. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze and discuss a new settlement categorization, taking into account considerations on the number of categories, number of variables, choice of variables and territorial level for data collection. These aspects are empirically tested on a data set collected through the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) in Serbia. The data are analyzed using two approaches: descriptive and cluster analysis. A parallel with other countries and theoretical recommendations is drawn in the discussion, based on which some recommendations are presented.

Multi-storey business-residential and residential buildings have been increasingly present in Belgrade since 1900 and testify to its accelerated modernisation. In the period before the WWI, the basic types of multi-family residential buildings were developed and characteristic forms of building assemblies and spatial organisation of apartments were formed. As builders were educated in Central European centres (Pest, Vienna, Munich, Aachen, Berlin and Zurich), the types of assemblies and apartments were created according to their influence. After the war, in addition to the old generation of architects, the younger generation, educated at the Architectural Department of the Technical Faculty in Belgrade, is also active, which contributes to a greater variety of solutions and the influence of other European centres (Prague and Paris). Through the analysis, examples from the period 1900-14 and 1918-41 are considered and compared to define the basic types of building shapes, assemblies and spatial organization of apartments. The research confirms the thesis on the continuity of development and application of the same basic types of buildings and spatial organisation of apartments in both periods. The thesis of continuous use of masonry construction for making walls in both periods was also confirmed, while the use of modern material, reinforced concrete, and semi-prefabricated Herbst construction was established during the third and fourth decades of the 20th century.

This paper aims to examine the philosophical work of the French epistemologist and phenomenologist - Gaston Bachelard, by transferring its interpretation from the general into a specific field of architecture. The Poetics of Space (La Poetique de l'Espace), as a Bachelard's work that enjoys even today the most comprehensive reception among the architects and theorists of architecture, shall be taken as a starting point of our analysis. Intending not to limit itself to the considerations which encompass only texts that are strictly thematically or problematically dealing with architecture, this paper aims to position and contextualise Bashlar's philosophical thought within the phenomenological reflections that found their applications in the theory of architecture. In this sence, we shall provide an insight into the duality of relations between the Bachelard's concept of poetic image (l'image poetique) and a poetic object/motif, which, in our case, referes to the inherent elements of an architectural object intended for dwelling. Therefore, in addition to the material and geometric, we shall try to apprehend and explain the experiential manner of spatial perception, and single out the echoes of Bashlar's philosophical thought, which carry within themselves a potential to distort architectural thinking. The results of research shall indirectly demonstrate two possible ways of interpreting the Bachelard's work: 1) the analogous application and appropriation of interpretations of Bachelard's text as a reversed manualdreambook for provoking and inscribing the desired experience in the architectural space, and 2) the application of the mechanisms of phenomenological analysis itself, directed towards the interest in the process of creating a poetic image, as guidelines for the actualisation of an architectural object in its specific reality, through the work on its poeticity.
本文旨在考察法国认识论和现象学家加斯顿·巴舍拉的哲学作品,将其从一般的解释转移到具体的建筑领域。《空间诗学》(La Poetique de l’espace)作为巴舍拉的作品,至今仍在建筑师和建筑理论家中享有最全面的接受,我们将以其作为分析的起点。为了不局限于只包含严格的主题或有问题的建筑文本的考虑,本文旨在将Bashlar的哲学思想定位和语境化,并将其应用于建筑理论的现象学反思中。从这个意义上说,我们将深入了解巴舍拉的诗意形象概念(l'image poetique)和诗意对象/母题之间的二元关系,在我们的案例中,它指的是用于居住的建筑对象的固有元素。因此,除了材料和几何之外,我们将尝试理解和解释空间感知的经验方式,并挑出Bashlar哲学思想的回声,这些思想本身就有可能扭曲建筑思维。研究结果将间接证明解释巴舍拉作品的两种可能方式:1)类似的应用和对巴舍拉文本的解释,作为一个反向的手册,在建筑空间中激发和铭刻期望的体验;2)现象学分析本身的机制的应用,直接指向创造诗意形象的过程,作为建筑对象在其特定现实中实现的指导,通过其诗意性的工作。

The City of Belgrade is situated at the confluence of the Sava and Danube. Accordingly, this geographical position has strongly shaped Belgrade's strategic and geopolitical significance, as well as its identity. In the last two decades, the development of several mega-projects in the area of Belgrade waterfront has had a negative impact on the cultural heritage of Belgrade and its historical cityscape, affecting its urban morphology and typology. The reason for this is that urban regeneration is most often driven by economic interests, while the preservation of meaning and the memory of a place are neglected. Along with these processes, several civic initiatives have emerged that aim to prevent damage to the built heritage and to indicate the need for stronger involvement of citizens in the city's planning and development processes. In order to discontinue the tendency of being driven by economic interest and demonstrate a will to achieve further sustainable development, it is necessary to redefine the procedure for protecting valuable cultural heritage. This could be achieved by creating a new approach to protecting cultural heritage in the domain of urban design and planning, taking into account all the values, tradition, authenticity and identity of a place. Accordingly, the paper will focus on the issues of protecting Belgrade's waterfront heritage, its historical and urban context, its genesis, and its cultural and architectural characteristics. Furthermore, the possibilities for different approaches to the presentation and modern utilization of the abandoned and ruined waterfront heritage will be investigated, in order to define new, common procedures that will be in line with city development goals, citizen expectations and heritage protection measures.

The character of architectural space is dependent on the range of aspects that define it. Lighting presents a very significant component of architectural space. Apart from being functionally necessary for carrying out the planned activities, lighting also has a very important role in determining the ambient value of the segments or the entirety of the space. That role becomes even more important and dramatically evident in those architectural spaces that are meant to provide an intense experience for users, as in the case of sacral architecture. For centuries lighting has been a topic present in sacral architecture, and its significance becomes especially noticeable in newer interpretations of rigidly subdued contemplative spaces. The refined aesthetics of the architectural forms of the second half of the XX century often gives way to lighting as the central element of the architectural composition, which determines the mystical and suggestive ambiances that direct users to contemplation. The study is, in the first part, conducted through a theoretical analysis of the phenomena of natural and artificial lighting in architecture. Then, in the second part, an analysis of prominent examples of sacral architecture from the given period is applied in order to explore models of treating lighting as a key element in building expressive architectural spaces that invite spiritual reflections and contemplation. The goal of this research is to examine the potentials of lighting beyond its utilitarian function, and research the possibilities and potential of utilizing lighting as a carrier of the meditative and transcendental character of sacral architecture. The result of the research is a confirmation of the importance of lighting in sacral architecture, and an insight into the ways of thinking about light in the context of shaping suggestive and meditative architectural spaces that intensify the hyperphysical experience.

They work, alongside with the international team of 15 young architects, on a diverse range of projects in different European countries. They have been awarded numerous national and international prizes - European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Emerging Architect Award, Kunstpreis Berlin, Plečnik Prize, Piranesi Award, and others. In order to understand and comprehend their work, one must examine their 'dedicated choice' to follow conditions in which a building emerges. These conditions range from political and social, to environmental and material their simple, yet complex architectural solutions strive to respond to those conditions beyond bare function. For this publication we have selected two of the most recent finished public buildings: Islamic Religious and Cultural Centre Ljubljana and Neue Galerie und Kasematten / Neue Bastei, Wiener Neustadt 2016 - 2019.

Adequate level of housing comfort, in terms of space, function and health, is one of the key factors of quality and sustainability of social housing. In post-socialist Serbia, the extremely residual system of provision in this sector has been a major challenge to achieve adequate quality standards for new social housing construction over the past two decades. Through a review of the national regulations in the field of planning, design and construction of social housing after 2000 and the results of the conducted empirical research on six completed projects (in Valjevo, Pančevo, Čačak, Kraljevo, Kragujevac and Belgrade), the paper discusses the situation, limitations and opportunities for improving current housing practices in this field. In the initial period of formation of the new housing system, through the recommendations for planning and design social housing was treated as below average standard and quality housing, but since 2009 its development through the legislative framework is increasingly directed towards the concept of sustainable housing development. At the same time, the results of the evaluation of the pioneering examples of practice in this area, realized in the period 2008-2010, indicate certain deficiency in terms of the application of sustainability criteria. Through a survey of tenants on satisfaction with various elements of housing comfort, the problems of overcrowding and inadequacy of housing conditions regarding functional and health aspects were observed in selected examples. It was found that the tenants are mostly satisfied with the level of thermal and light comfort in the apartments, while they expressed significant dissatisfaction due to the lack of auxiliary and open apartment areas, insufficient sound insulation and overall lower quality construction. In the concluding remarks, the results of the research are discussed and recommendations are given for the improvement of design standards and monitoring instruments in social housing programs in Serbia.
