Item type:Publication, The Architecture of The Post-Earthquake Renewal of Skopje(Hellenic Institute of Architecture, 2019); Deskov, VladimirOn July 26th Skopje suffered a catastrophic earthquake; more than 1.000 victims were identified, over 3.300 people were injured, while approximately 70-80% of the total built stock was either destroyed or damaged beyond repair. The city was literally reduced to rubble. Vastly devastated, the city of Skopje was built anew under the patronage of the United Nations and with the support from more than 80 countries worldwide. As Yugoslavia was one of the leaders on the non-aligned movement, help started to “pour” into Skopje both from the East and the West. In the middle of the Cold War, at a time when the polarization between the two conflicting political blocks was at its peak, Skopje’s post-earthquake renewal process defined solidarity and cooperation as its leading principal. Soon after the earthquake, the federal government asked the United Nations for assistance; on the one hand, it was obvious that the scope and complexity of the whole endeavor was far beyond the capacities of the local planers and architects. On the other hand, it was a huge opportunity to bring together international experts (both from the East and the West) and envision a new “city for the future”. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Structure as a Symbol: Modernist High Rises in Skopje(MASE - Macedonian Association of Structural Engineers, 2019); Deskov, VladimirThere are often periods in the development of the cities, which carry certain energy released in the space in form of waves. Over time, the traces of these cycles slowly fall into oblivion until another wave brings some of them to the surface again. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the renewed visibility of one of the forgotten and thematically least examined architectural layers of Skopje - the buildings that develop in height (high-rises, towers) – product of one of the dominant models of urbanization and development of the European cities in the second half of the 20th century. Focusing on the period of highest intensity of building, from the origins in the 1950s, all the way to the late 1980s, this work aims to perform a comprehensive study of the architecture of the “vertical city”, the conditions under which it was created, the main defining features, the qualities and values it possesses. The investigation relies upon a large research sample, encompassing more than 50 high-rise buildings dispersed on the territory of Skopje. In terms of urban layout, they form various configurations, showing different relationship of the building(s) and the immediate surrounding. In terms of use – housing, collective housing, administrative and industrial buildings were taken into consideration. In terms of architectural expression, they represent a rich selection regarding the simplicity/complexity of their spatial and volumetric structure, the architectural typology, the disaggregation of the plan, the materiality and the details applied. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Simple Analysis Of Daylight Saving Time Effects in Belgrade Climate and Latitude(SPATIUM, 2018-06)Marija Grujić, Aleksandar RadevskiContemporary controversy about daylight saving time (DST) is mainly derived from different standpoints in studies investigating the positive and negative effects of the clock shift during summer period. From the standpoint of energy savings, most studies have consensus that the summertime clock shift in middle latitudes, with a large difference between winter and summer daylight hours, contributes to energy savings in buildings. Belgrade’s mid-latitude, moderate-continental climate has a six-month long heating season and a three-month cooling season. The annual domination of the heating period assumes that the demand for heating energy also dominates in the annual energy breakdown for average office buildings. Since DST covers mainly summer time, the energy breakdown in office buildings during the DST period is dominated by the energy demand for lighting and cooling. The shift of time ahead of standard time during the DST period causes a shift in temperature, daylight availability and solar energy resources and thus a shift in the potential for the utilisation of the surrounding energy. This paper investigates how the application of DST in Belgrade’s climate and latitude influences the change of climate parameters relevant for the cooling and lighting energy demand in office buildings. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, OLD LOCATIONS FOR NEW ECONOMIES: CASE STUDY OF CITY OF SKOPJE(STRAND - Sustainable Urban Society Association Belgrade, Serbia, 2019); ; Mano Velevska, MarijaRapid urbanization and forced industrialization during socialism, lead to enormous extension of urban territory and unrestricted and irrational utilization of locations for industrial production. The end of socialist system caused multiple processes of transformation in the city, where one of the most expressed was the deindustrialization. It produced vast areas and numerous locations to be permanently abandoned or insufficiently utilized. This paper examines and presents the opportunities for reuse of abandoned or unused industrial locations and buildings within the urban territory of the city of Skopje. The industrial locations and buildings had became valuable and attractive urban assets with potential for reuse. In addition, both represent important part of city history, where the process of industrialization contributed tremendously to social, economic and cultural development of Skopje. Their prospect use shall create link with social-economic background, culture and architecture of certain era and continuity with the past. We represent the standing that abandoned industrial locations and buildings in Skopje should be used by creative and non-material production industries. The creative economy as generator of growth can be treated as crucial sector for innovation, knowledge transfer, economic diversification, pool of highly skilled educated employees necessary to achieve sustainable development goals for the city of future. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, DOMESTICATING GARDENS. Excavating New Patterns of Growth for the City(STRAND - Sustainable Urban Society Association Belgrade, Serbia, 2019); ; Urban growth is a generic condition inherited in contemporary metropolitan reality, embracing various programmatic constraints: from housing and the very idea of domestic space to the public realm and urbanity as a practice of collective experience. In the prevailing ongoing discussions around urban growth, space is generally perceived through its built structure, whereas the empty (un-built) space is rather neglected or misused as mere building asset. Acknowledging the urban consequences and the spatial effects that urbanization and globalization have on the public space and life in the contemporary city, we call for a critical reassessment of city’s unbuilt resources and potential. Therefore the task of this paper is to reveal the hidden dimension and potential of gardens as resource for urbanity, juxtaposing the notion of architecture and dwelling with cultivated landscapes, both being seen as interwoven experiences that create the beauty of living. In order to challenge the perpetually accelerated building activity on the territory of the city of Skopje, we examine the relationship between the built and the un-built space by exploring new narratives that emerge in re-appropriation of the concept of a garden as urban entity and the potential of the productive landscape as a collective endeavour. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, New urban bridge as a socially responsible public space(International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE), 2010); ; <jats:p><p>New governmentally financed project “Skopje 2014” with intention to “re-establish” the identity of the nation through development of infrastructure and architecture in Baroque style has substantially changed the urban, social, political and ethical context of the central area of the city.</p><p>The aim of our work is to present an open approach of form finding process as a result of interaction of functional, engineering and social issues that is in contrast with fixed and predetermined typology proposed by government. Our new pedestrian bridge on river Vardar in the centre of the city creates new urban landscapes acting as a social attractor and urban infrastructure. Its geometry and structure is a result of formal and functional concept generated as a complex emergent property of the topologically based system expressing high level of social responsibility of design and ethical and esthetical approach to complex engineering challenges in urban areas.</p></jats:p> - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, SUSTAINABLE DESIGN FOR IMPROVEMENT OF HEALTHY BUILT ENVIRONMENT(Places and Technologies 2015, 2015-06-18)Dimkov, Gjorgji; Papasterevski, Dimitar; Petrovski, Aleksandar; Marina, OgnenBuildings as main consumers of energy and resources are responsible for waste and greenhouse gasses creation for which they have caused serious implications to the environmental and human health. Sustainable architecture considers reasonable resource exploitation and improvement of the built environment, human wellbeing and health. Its implementation in a building’s design is a demanding task due to multitude of aspects it grasps. This paper proposes a design process, tested on a case-study, which integrates the projects participants and determines common indicators on the buildings environmental, social and economic performance. The chosen indicators are of various importance for the buildings design. Thus, for each of them respective weights are determined by the project team. During the design process three alternatives of the case-study are proposed and analysed. The results have shown that supporting the design process with tools for decision making enables choosing the most sustainable design alternative for creation of a healthy built environment.
