    Deploying Heritage-Led Urban Regeneration: Three Cases from Skopje
    (TU Delft / Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, 2020)
    ;
    Ivanovska Deskova, Ana
    Like many other urban settlements located on a crossroad of important transport and trade routes, the city of Skopje faced turbulent times throughout its history. As a result of a dynamic exchange of cultures, the urban fabric contains overlapped architectural layers from different historical origins: Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, Pre-Modern, Modern, Post-socialist… Despite the fact that the most recent, 20th century architectural layer is the most visible one, there are city fragments that carry matrices related to older historical periods. An example of this are the Old Bazaar and the Medieval Fortress. Regardless of their institutional protection, today they are facing complex challenges. They are related to their administration, quality of conservation and restoration policies, with the outdated and, at times, obsolete program they provide. The aim of this paper is to present recent efforts to introduce a sequence of contemporary, heritage-led regeneration initiatives. New acupunctural interventions have been envisaged as a part of the Horizon 2020 Project (ROCK – Regeneration and Optimization of Cultural Heritage in Creative and Knowledge Cities), involving local municipalities, the University and various stakeholders. The establishing of the Urban Living Lab in the middle of the traditional tissue of the Old Bazaar has provided a hub for various cultural activities: presentations, lectures, exhibitions, discussions among professionals and the wider audience. The project “Kale – Art Fortress” has a tendency to activate the public space between the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Medieval Fortress through a sequence of small temporary structures. The segment entitled “Lost Ambiences” virtually recreates the buildings and urban ambiences that no longer exist in the physical presence of the Old Bazaar.

    Challenging Neglect and Indifference: The Case of Skopje

    In 1963, Skopje suffered catastrophic earthquake that destroyed 75-80% of its built fund. The aftermath of the earthquake propelled unprecedented international solidarity. The process led by UN was high in ambition – to promote Skopje as an exemplary global city. The previously unknown, peripheral city became field of global cooperation and laboratory for testing latest urban and architectural paradigms. The process that in its highest intensity lasted less than 20 years, resulted with the most powerful segment of Skopje’s recent architectural history. After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, Skopje entered long and highly uncertain process of “transition”. Along with other challenges, linked to political, economic, social and cultural changes, this process launched dramatic and controversial spatial transformations. Already aged, to certain extent obsolete, systematically neglected, threatened with brutal alteration of their authentic appearance, many exemplary buildings of Skopje post-earthquake renewal could be considered “heritage in danger”. This paper intends to demonstrate how something that usually firmly belongs in the realm of professional preservation could become an act of individual “architectural activism”. By presenting several initiatives, we would like to show how one can act when the social and aesthetic values of the heritage are under attack. With a strong belief that the buildings are significant enough to be considered a heritage, we conducted “experimental preservation” - an extensive process of collecting archival material, research as a base for future valorisation, series of public presentations, exhibitions and publications intended to initiate discussion within the profession itself as well to raise the public awareness about the values of Skopje’s 20th Century Heritage.

    Petite Timber Structures in/and Architectural Design Education
    (Ss Cyril and Methodius University, Faculty of Design and Technology of furniture and interior – Skopje, 2021-09)
    ;
    Тhe aim of this paper is to present a recent educational experience developed through the ongoing pedagogical process at the Faculty of Architecture in Skopje, exploring the advantages of informal tools of education with particular focus on the learning-by-building method of learning architectural design. The main goal of the teaching experience explored in the paper was to introduce the architecture students with the great potentials of timber as architectural building material. The paper specifically focuses on presenting four case studies, documenting the development of different timber structures of high architectural quality, designed and build by architectural students. Each architectural structure was realized within the educational, pedagogical, social, cultural and representational framework of the International Summer School of Architecture, an architectural workshop that for 30 consecutive years has been organized by the Faculty of Architecture at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje. The International Summer School of Architecture was established in 1992, and has since then been a place for teaching and learning architecture for more than 500 domestic and international students and more than 100 architects and teachers from all around the world. In the 30 years of its existence the International Summer School of Architecture has shown the ability to transform and adapt its format to numerous pedagogical viewpoints and concepts, from highly theoretical to applicative. As much as four International Summer School sessions have been realized exploring the learning-by-building methodology, as result of which several timber structures were designed and built on various locations by the students and their tutors. The collection of timber structures presented in the paper represent not only a valuable portfolio of the International Summer School of Architecture of the Faculty of Architecture in Skopje, but a significant source of knowledge for studying architecture design methodologies, processes and strategies, as well as engineering and construction techniques and their place in the architectural design education on university level.

    The “Art Fortress” as a Responsible Approach Model for Regeneration of Skopje's Spatial Identity
    (University of Belgrade, Faculty of Architecture, 2020-10)
    ;
    ;
    The City of Skopje, repeatedly fragmented throughout its history, is in constant need for redefinition and reconstruction of its spatial identity in relation to its cultural heritage. With recent developments that have rendered the urban fabric’s historical and memory layers completely unrecognizable, the question of Skopje’s spatial identity has reemerged in terms of responsible methodologies and approaches. One of the activities within the ROCK (Regeneration and Optimization of Cultural Heritage in Creative and Knowledgeable Cities) Project was called “Art Fortress”. It treated the urban and architectural development of the Kale Hill in Skopje, with an aim to transform it into an attractive and vibrant city part with all of its cultural, educational and recreational functions. Two important cultural monuments dominate the Kale Hill: the medieval fortress - Kale and the Museum of Contemporary Art. The exceptional historical and contemporary significance of these two imposing structures for the City of Skopje, their symbolic voltage juxtaposed to the natural morphology of the terrain and cultural diversity of the surrounding, have been largely diminished due to many years of neglect of the broader location of the Kale Hill. This paper elaborates the activity “Art Fortress” in detail and summarizes the conclusions that have the potential to create a responsible approach model for regeneration of Skopje’s spatial identity, concerning inter-institutional collaboration, academic and professional inclusion, public awareness, international competition and exhibition. Most of all, this paper elaborates the qualitative lessons learnt of how we should treat a valuable city fragment in spatial terms, through the medium of public space and a series of both “soft” and “hard” architectural procedures as a long term strategy and management plan for treatment of this national cultural site, an approach that we can surely rely upon confronted with our city’s spatial identity in crisis.

    Buildings 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.

    Abstract. The transformation and development of the conceptual idea (conceptual architectural solution) in the preliminary and main architectural project design documentation for construction is successively moving from something less defined (relatively) to something comprehensive, precise and clearly defined (materialized). In this paper is analyzed process of selected consequential and inverse research and decision-making steps which resolved architectural and other problems in the development of the process. Considering the fact that the development of architectural projects is a process of permanent consequential and inverse research on aesthetic shaping and material aspects of the architectural product, architectural construction, a key thesis of this research is that creating a good and meaningful architecture can be established and achieved based on the rule of epistemology of complex scientific knowledge, highly developed modes of operation, experiential skills and capacities to systematically explore architectural problems.
