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, 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, Architecture as a Cultural Sustainability Factor of the Macedonian Cities. The Branding of Bitola.(NJ: Wiley, 2019)Hristova, AnetaThe current need of policy programs for the Macedonian cities to reach the standards of sustainable and prosperous economic development and to enable their promotion on the European cultural map, initiated our project “Architecture as a Cultural Sustainability Factor of the Macedonian Cities”. It aims to inspect the spatial and physical potentials of the Macedonian architectural and bio-regional heritage in order to create unique and competitive brands and to develop the overall economic and touristic potentials of the Republic of Macedonia. The project encompasses cooperative agreement-based projects with the Association of the Units of Local Self-Government of the Republic of Macedonia (ZELS), counting eighty-four municipalities and the capital of Skopje as a particular self-governed unit. The National Strategy of Sustainable Development, ZELS’ “Strategic Plan 2011–2015” from 2010 and the successive municipality action plans are the basic sources of information for the investigation regarding political, architectural and social aspects for providing legal instruments and collaborative forms between the residents and the municipal governments in building up “creative class” resources for a long-term sustainable development. During the investigation we employed a wide range of methods, including collection of data and examination of archive documents, on-site surveys, mapping and evaluation of cultural and architectural heritage of the Macedonian cities and regions, interviews and collaborative meetings with municipal and civic representatives. The findings outline the general branding strategy for the Macedonian cities, adjoined with spectrum of interventions for site-specific adaptive design concepts aimed to employ their unique physical and cultural identities to brand themselves successfully. In this paper, we present our first case study, “Remediation Project for the Quay of the River Dragor”, completed in 2014 in cooperation with the Municipality of Bitola that was targeted to set the standards and the formula for the city brand success. Following the objectives of the “Strategic Plan for Local Development of the Bitola Municipality 2009–2014”, this project highlights the primacy of the environmental protection for sustainable development as the basis of the integrated design strategy that relies on ecological principles. On a political level, it pioneers the grounds on which architecture expands its disciplinary assumptions, goals, institutional, legal and financial tools in the municipal policies of sustainable development. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Urban Fragments as a Base of Integrated Living(Balkan Architectural Biennale, BAB, 2015)Tasić, S., Bakalchev, M., Petanovski, A.Integrated housing has its own long history presented through different types of forms of collective housing in reference to the historical, cultural and social context. To understand the human needs related to housing in present day or for the future, with the expansion of the heterogenic way of living, we have to understand the life style. “Urban fragments as a base of integrated living” is researching urban fragments from different eras of the history of the city of Skopje, and at the same time are the city’s expressions. The mutual differences of the urban fragments are perceived as a foundation for various forms of integrated living, as a type of generative base of a new housing picture of multitude. The purpose of this research is triple. First to present the process of change in the Skopje housing areas to be transformed or erased as a documentation plan. Second to show the typo-morphological plan of hypothetical possibilities of their transformations, through research of the projects. Third, to give specific methods of the research plan of the contemporary spatial phenomena. Local tactics of connecting contemporary and traditional patterns of housing are presented on the level of urban fragments, through selected scenarios of urban transformation, where architecture is infrastructure, architecture is territory, architecture is stratification. Through the local tactics of stratification, metamorphosis, cross-section, sequential connection and implantation, a new way of generating local collective form of integrated living is presented. This new way is not coming in the order up – down and is supporting and stimulating people’s everyday practices. In this sense, the promoted proto-typology is a form of defining new specific spatial and program housing configurations of integrated life styles.
