Item type:Publication, Adapting Settlements to Climate Change: Transforming Former Industrial Areas Along Rivers in Germany into Resilient Mixed-Use Real Estate(Inštitut za nepremičninske vede, Ukmarjeva 6, 1000 Ljubljana, 2024-10)Sanja AvramoskaClimate change poses numerous threats in urban areas, such as heatwaves, reduced air quality, ecosystem disturbance, etc. For city areas located along rivers there is an increased risk of more frequent and intense flooding. Various riverside industrial zones in German cities were redeveloped into mixed-use areas in the post-industrial era. Therefore, this paper investigates the challenges faced by these new settlements, such as flood management, ecosystem protection, water pollution reduction, provision of public spaces, enhancement of urban aesthetics, and their connection to the real estate market on the local level. For research purposes, three projects from the German context are elaborated: Hamburg (HafenCity project), Heilbronn (Neckarbogen project), and Basel-Huningue-Weil am Rhein (3Land project). This qualitative research applies a case study approach to analyze historical documents, scientific literature, planning documents, and urban and architectural projects, thus identifying correlations among historical, spatial, social, and economic factors that influenced these redevelopments. To collect context-specific data, case study visits were conducted. Findings indicate that flood and social resilience are issues addressed in riverbank settlements through multifunctional public space design. Equal efforts are made in architectural innovation in the design of the buildings, which is highly important when adapting settlements to climate change effectively. A significant contribution is the improvement of connection of the redeveloped areas to the broader urban fabric of the respective cities. Furthermore, the newly redeveloped areas play an important role in improving the city's overall image while successfully integrating elements of its industrial heritage. Finally, this research develops valuable recommendations for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders involved in the development of real estate in riverside areas. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, DECIDING ON THE MEASURES IMPLEMENTATION FOR RIVERFRONT FLOOD RESILIENCE ACTOR MAPPING AND NETWORK ANALYSIS(UNIVERSITY SS CYRIL & METHODIUS IN SKOPJE FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE, SKOPJE, NORTH MACEDONIA, 2025-09)Sanja AvramoskaRiverfront redevelopments pose significant challenges in achieving effective flood resilience. The success of riverfront design relies on a strategic combination of measures. Levees, floodwalls, and drainage systems are known as structural measures and help mitigate immediate flood risks, while non-structural approaches, such as land-use planning, policy frameworks, and community engagement, focus on offering long-term, adaptive strategies. Over the past three decades, developments in Hamburg, Germany, have integrated structural and non-structural measures into their flood management strategies. Even though there are exemplary models of effective riverfront design in Germany, there is a lack of research regarding the specific design decisions that contribute to their success. Additionally, the roles and influences of human and non-human actors in shaping flood-resilient designs are insufficiently researched. This paper investigates the actors involved in the implementation of either structural or non-structural interven tions for flood resilience in the riverfront redevelopment in HafenCity in Hamburg. Using actor mapping and visual network analysis, the research identifies key human and non-human actors involved in the process. Furthermore, the mapping examined their influence on decision-making in the redevelopment of the riverfront. Actor mapping and visual network analysis provide valuable insights into the strength and type of relationships that shape the development and implementation of flood resilience strategies. Data planning documents, project documentation, and regulatory frameworks was used to construct an actor-network map. The analysis points out that HafenCity’s flood strategy relies on a three-part core: the City of Hamburg, which sets the rules; HafenCity Hamburg GmbH enforces the rules in every land sale; and the Warft (elevated ground) model that translates law into concrete defence works. This paper provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the interplay of actors that influence the use of structural or non-structural measures for flood resilience in riverfront redevelopment in HafenCity. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Historic City protection vs Resilient City transformation(2022-07); Andonova, ElenaThe city of Skopje is a result of dialectical contradictions of diachronically different concepts of development and superimposed planning concepts of unfinished layers. The Old Bazaar represents one of the oldest urban fragments and shows a strong resilience and capacity to overcome numerous disastrous events. Unfortunately, due to the development constraints set by the preservation measures, and speculative building actions in the context, it is gradually but progressively losing its cultural identity and role as a creative socio-economic hub. Weak development policies and non-adaptive preservation regulations to changing environment and socio-economic development are urging actions to adopt new regeneration measures and appropriate approaches that could bring life into the valuable cultural heritage setting. Existing patterns emerging from the unique uses and spatiality of the Old Bazaar, as an exclusive area of commercial use and traditional urban fabric of cultural heritage, have to be preserved, but simultaneously it is important to introduce novel tools for applied creative industries and adaptive re-use of the building heritage. All efforts of appropriation of the cultural heritage area of the Old Bazaar according to the new sustainable and equitable economic opportunities, should be carefully tested and implemented in the context, in order to avoid any socio-environmental decay. - 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, 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, 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.
