    Public space transformation in the case of “Skopje 2014"
    (Urbana: Urban Affairs and Public Policy, 2021)
    The politics of the post-socialist era, during the transitional period in the Republic of North Macedonia left dark marks in the city morphology and deeply influenced urban planning. This paper explores the most notable example of this particular trend - the project named “Skopje 2014”. The paper analyses the project’s underlying feature, which can be described as an attempt to recast a national profile, affecting public space and built heritage, without any awareness of the gap between nationalistic theory and the desperate economic realities. In hindsight, the paper argues that, unfortunately, this project was brought to life without any public participation or by taking into consideration the expert-based evaluation. Therefore, many new buildings were built and much more covered in new architectural styles, which led to uncontrolled city growth and a vague makeover of the city.

    Problem Statement: The real estate market transforms the built environment radically in the past two decades. Therefore architectural practice as well try to respond by attempting to establish contemporary paradigms of objective reality which used to be determined by specific functional typologies and standards in the past period of socialist modernism in Macedonia. Under the influence of socio-economic, cultural, political, and market proprietary changes today, the emerging architectural mixed-use or hybrid typologies are evidence of transformations and need to be researched as a phenomenology of build space. The problem area of this research is the redefinition of the role of architectural practice in the commercial real estate market where a building is a product that is used specifically for real estate business or income-generating purposes. Purpose of Study: To respond to the global and regional economical development of the real estate market today and create more community-oriented sustainability of buildings today, it's very important to define the particular program to meet the needs of future users of buildings. Through the research of recently emerging architectural concepts of hybrid/mix-used buildings, the purpose of this paper is to recognize the model of integration through the program and determine the factors that have a decisive influence on real estate buyers and also have the potential to provide rental income as well as a capital appreciation for investors. Methods: The research is focused on public mix-used buildings with disparate program contents and program integrated hybrid models, as case studies. The research process will investigate and observe the flows in the commercial real estate market to quantify the program. Through statistical methods of particular stakeholders, this research will recognize models for sustainable economy of the built environment. Findings and Results: The expected results of the research will determine the economic and social factors that trigger transformative processes from existing to new models of architectural typologies. Conclusions and Recommendations: The assumption that mix-used/hybrid models give the possibilities for a sustainable market economy, this research re-presents architecture as contemporary paradigms of the built environment. The unifying character of mixed-used and hybrid buildings is ready to accommodate planned and unplanned activities in the city. The hybrid scheme proposes environments that mix already known typologies and create allies that improve existent conditions.

    The Architecture of Public Buildings as Transformative Model Towards Sustainability
    (Scientific Research and Community Ltd, 2024-02-03)
    ;
    ;
    Problem Statement: After the era of socialist modernism in Macedonia, the transition process of the newly independent state inevitably affected and still transforms the architectural heritage. The monumentality of modern architecture in Yugoslavia was determined by its specific typology and spaciousness. Such characteristics are becoming vulnerable while facing certain challenges between sustainability and the building's formal aspects and appearance. The reflection of these challenges can be observed through the architectural transformation based on heating demands, influenced by social, economic, and digital capitalism. In these processes, the other aspects of architectural physics are often neglected (thermal, acoustic, etc), which becomes an issue in terms of the building’s performance and sustainability, and the building's energy efficiency implementation in its entirety. The problem area of this research is the redefining approach of the architectural practice which strives toward sustainability. Moreover, there is a lack of approaches based on a joint strategy between architecture transformations and architecture physics in a holistic manner.Purpose of Study: The main aim is to understand the transformation process, from the architecture of monumentality to the architecture of segregation, where energy consumption is the driving factor and is directly related to the economy market.Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to Investigate the interrelation between the architectural transformation process and the discipline of building physics reflected in the energy efficiency strategies.Methods: The research is focused on public buildings, built in the period of social modernism in Yugoslavia, that have transformed their facade and materialization. This study investigated the reasons that drive the transformation processes. In that direction, the research method covers chronological data of the energy efficiency strategies by discussing their plans and actions and uses an analytical approach that recognizes the transformed models into sustainable architecture as evidence of the tendencies toward a sustainable economy of the built environment.Findings and Results: The expected results of the research will determine the main driving economic and social factors of the transformative processes and will elaborate on the transformed model's sustainability.Conclusions and Recommendations: The research will conclude the necessity of collaboration between architecture transformation and building physics, which indicates the architectural characteristics of sustainability.
