The traditional role of the façade, historically centered on providing protection against environmental conditions and reducing CO₂ emissions, has been significantly redefined through advances in software technologies and material sciences. These developments have led to the emergence of the façade system as a structurally independent...

The term "Durmitor flysch" was first introduced into the geological literature in 1948 by [1].. Under this term, he refers to a powerful geological formation, formed at the transition from the Upper Cretaceous to the Paleogene. Its distribution begins from the northern Albanian table and the so-called Cukali zone in the south, through the central p...

This paper portrays the room as the fundamental beginning of architecture, exploring how our earliest spatial memories shape the way we perceive and understand architectural space. Drawing on Louis Kahn's philosophical reflections on the room as architecture's elemental unit, the insights of Peter Zumthor and other architects on childhood memories,...

This study investigates how navigation strategies in virtual environments affect spatial memory formation and environmental understanding. As navigation plays a fundamental role in how people experience and interpret space, especially in enclosed architectural spaces, exploring the cognitive processes behind movement and orientation remains crucial...

Based on experimental and theoretical research, the stress-deformation state of the bond between Georgian-origin basalt composite reinforcement and concrete was studied. The bonding mechanism between basalt composite reinforcement and different classes of concrete was revealed, along with the stress-deformation state of structures reinforced with b...

The process of infill within the built environment represents a fundamental and increasingly indispensable approach to sustainable societal and environmental development. Although rooted in past practices and experiences of modern urbanization, its methodological frameworks must be continuously reinterpreted in response to climate change and contem...

Buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina are among the largest energy consumers, and deep energy renovation is a key pathway to reducing consumption and costs. This paper presents a case study of an educational building in Banja Luka, renovated in 2016 through envelope improvements and optimization of the heating system. Energy bills from 2013–201...

Reinforcing soil for foundations or embankments is crucial for ensuring structural stability and longevity. Many methods are used in Geotechnics to reinforce soils, which can be broadly categorized into chemical processes and mechanical approaches. Furthermore, reinforcing soils with fibres is an effective technique in geotechnical engineering to e...

In this paper, an analysis of the phase construction of a tunnel with support in static and seismic conditions is made. The PLAXIS 2D software package was used for the problem's numerical modelling. A parametric analysis of the excavation using the deconfinement method (1-ß) was made on an actual tunnel with support in the excavation phase an...

The paper is dedicated to the modeling of tectonic movements based on GNSS coordinate time series, which were analyzed using the Kalman filter. The research area includes the territory of Japan, which is one of the most seismically active regions on Earth. The devastating Tohoku earthquake of 2011 was the result of subduction between the Pacific an...
