During my studies in Belgrade, I got in touch with the world of 3d animations and visualisations which resulted in the idea to start building my 3d artist career. After realizing that area of 3d modeling is a good source of work and finances I started contacting with companies all around Europe offering my knowledge and experience. First experiences with a world of 3d visualisations and freelance work came during 2014 with my still active client Chinarcontracting based in Doha, Qatar. After my bachelor studies, I wanted to expand my network of contacts and that’s the reason why I applied for internships in studios in Berlin while I was still in my master studies during January 2016. The first offer I got was from studio Lavaland Gmbh based in Berlin, and finally, I came to Berlin during April 2016 in order to start my internship During my internship in Lavaland Gmbh, I also had an opportunity to cooperate with studio Treibhaus based both in Berlin and Hamburg. As an intern from Berlin, I worked successfully on three competitions with Treibhaus, one of them being competition for new Bundestag building atrium in Berlin.

Urban reconstrucion - competition Ivanjica , Serbia 2018 An artist who has been working closely to the overall picture of the city as a main object of his interventions - Kevin Lynch invites us to analyze the environment from the aspect of what our built surrounding means to us a human race. Guided by this idea, the formation of the conceptual solution was defined by team of three members. Revitalization of the existing structures was carried out, partial reconstruction of the facilities and new facilities were additionally proposed. Interventions are defined within the existing urban circuits while preserving the formed matrix of the city. The central square is being formed on the move between the Technical School / the city Museum and the church. The river corridor is being recognized not only as a boundary but also as positive additional layer of landscape. By unloading the city’s narrow core by freight vehicles and converting the street of Branislav Nušić and Javorska into the pedestrian zone we got to the point when we could start with our intervention. The city park, together with streets and square in front of the church of the Holy Emperor Constantine and Empress Jelena formed very complex urban surrounding. The integration of the newly formed square with the Stone Bridge, the old square, pedestrian streets at first place and a one-way street next to them was completed.

Historical core of the city
New center city square
Recreational area
New block in the city center The type of construction is an uninterrupted Composition of objects defined together as a whole. The apartment in this block implies change of purpose into business premises on the ground floor, primarily towards the street. Buildings in a row along the river are residential buildings with the possibility of using the inner courtyard, and they also have orientation towards the river, which increases the attractiveness of the site.
Stone bridge The benches are positioned on the bridge, oriented towards the new bridge, thus creating a link between the old and new. Since the benches do not have a backrest, it is possible to sit in both directions.
Lower plateau With the formation of the plateau, a point is created from which it is possible to see the Stone Bridge. In this ambient continent, as a balance of the seating area in front of the City Museum, a fountain is integrated into the floor.
NOVI SAD 2021 City of culture - competition Novi sad , Serbia 2017 The newly designed solution implies a diagonal split of the site into two parts. In the northern part of the site, a program unit is envisaged for athletes and recreational players. In the southern part of the site, the program unit includes a playground with a space for rest and parents as well as older fellow citizens. Vertical gum - Concept The shape and dimensions of the new installation are such that it cares for itself and becomes a nucleus of further sports activities throughout the site and beyond. Programmatically divided in two ways, the vertical steel structure in the middle contains a staircase as a form of communication. The lateral parts of the tower differ in terms of the number of floors. While the southern part includes two floors, the height of 5m north on the other side covers four floors height of 2.5m. Within two floors, the projected devices are designed for vertical climbing and are widely applied in the new CrossFit concept of recreation. Vertical connections have a different physical manifestation and therefore allow users to activate different muscle groups using them The aim of the different programs of each of the floors is to completely integrate a vertical polygon that allows users an unlimited selection of sports activities. For this purpose, the staircase can be used for fast climbing and run. All the functions of the vertical gym can be used as a whole as a single polygon, and therefore can be a trigger for the organization of competitions and larger gatherings of athletes.

SREMSKA KAMENICA 2021 City of culture - competition Sremska Kamenica , Serbia 2017 By analyzing the site, numerous problems have been identified that need to be overcome in order for the space to function again as a local hot spot. The leveling and mild fall of the location caused the logical introduction of the stairs in the form of concrete elements with a height of 15cm. Tiled surfaces are arranged between the concrete staircase while the existing green spots are preserved. 105.00
The main linear element of the new composition is a ramp bounded by concrete walls that divide the location in the middle and allows for faster transport of goods and accessibility to people with strollers. The construction of concrete walls was also provided in the space in front of a shop intended for trade, where foods and large items typical for such facilities - refrigerators and similar - can be stored. Three plateaus make up the rest of the composition of the new market solution in Sremska Kamenica. Lighting system The main novelty of the solution is the lighting system distributed throughout the site. Lighting system consists of pillars and light circular elements - rings. Symbolically, the three rings can be connected with three towers that make up the official logo of the city and is directly connected with citizens and future users. The illumination system can give different effects, and the central larger ring illuminates the central plate of the new composition, while the dim light is expected in the lateral parts of the system.

The game of light and shadows, just below the canopy of the plateau, provides an unforgettable experience and provides the basis for organizing events such as performances, themed evenings, film screenings, etc This project was part of the competition organized in September 2017 - The result was that I got honorable second place reward in comparison to 25 different projects made by young professionals mostly from Serbia. 105.35
MAGSTADT CITY CENTER Pedestrian zone - competition Magstadt, Germany 2016 Magstadt is a town in the German Federal state of Baden-Württemberg, in the district Böblingen. It is located between Renningen and Sindelfingen mostly surrounded by typical green landscape areas, consisted of fields and the lower hillsThe idea behind the competition was the creation of new city identity for a small municipality of Magstadt at the south - west side of German state. The special character of the place was created centuries ago when the church of Johannes-Täufer was constructed. Propositions of the competition were made in order to force competitors to redesign Lower and Upper platz (Square) with specific connections defined as pedestrian street closed to traffic except for cases of emergency.
428.00 425.00
Studio Lavaland in cooperation with studio Treibhaus proposed simple and efficient solution consisted of two multifunctional squares connected with a pedestrian zone that changes its functions depending on the time of year and conditions. The idea behind pavement design was to create the big stone carpet with elements that create different overall textures. Distances between bricks and elements are very wide when it comes to Lower and Upper platz, but in the central zone, these distances are even double time smaller. That in total gives the impression of dynamic linear composition that starts from the beginning of lower platz and ends on upper platz right next to the new city council house *Rathaus*.

This part of location is designed as market and parking space at the same time. Usage is different during week days and during relaxed weekends.
This part of location was created in a way that two levels are forming total compostion.Climbing plants are making this vertical surface better and eco refreshing.

Crossroads Designed to keep functional aspects together. The addition to this function are small places for rest right next to the newly proposed Rathaus and following square.
BUNDESTAG ATRIUM Bundestag atrium garden - competition Berlin, Germany 2016 The main objective of the project task is to design atrium garden within the Bundestag building. The building is located in the central city area near the Branderburg gate and the National Bank of Germany, as well as a large number of embassies and foreign countries’ consulates. One of the requirements set by the developers is to respect the context of the place and combine the newly designed garden with the object facade ( concrete structures intersected by the glass surface). It is also necessary to organize the space so that users are provided with a place for a short break during a busy work day and to define the paths so the user’s movement can be carried on smoothly in lounge areas. The main idea of the project is the formation of several structures designed for rest and short break during one typical business day. Due to the minimalist approach to the design of the facade, the layout of the garden is fully implemented following the same principles. The horizontal lines intersecting the surface structure of space itself occasionally form places for sitting and conversation. The texture of the plants and their colors are in real contrast with the geometric shaped wooden benches and paths. The central motif of the composition is an area next to the building covered with glass instalation / sculpture. Benches are designed to support individual and group sitting, while the areas for smokers are placed in corners of the garden. Small amphitheter is connecting two levels upper and lower one. Organic structure of boxes filled with greenery and plants is in total contrast with rigid patter used as pavement.
My rolle in project : Visualisation, photorealistic collage image Diagrams and presentations (different types) Overall compositional plan (trough the phases)
FREIHAM LANDSCAPE PARK Landscape park - competition Munchen, Germany 2016 Freiham will be the last substantial development to take place in Munich. Located on the western outskirts of the city, this attractive new district will accommodate around 20,000 people by the year 2040. The idea behind the concept for Freiham landscape park is to create coherent and vibrant 65 hectares big open air space. The specificity of location lies in a fact that this is the place where Munchen outskirts meet surrounding landscape, consisted of fields, small hills, and communities, villages. Together with Lavaland and Treibhaus team members, I took a part in different phases of this project, starting with concept development and ending with visualizations and illustrations of our final outcome. The basis of our concept is promenade that goes parallel with the end of newly built Freiham neighborhood, a new home for 20.000 people. This promenade is offering different contents all the way, starting from sport, extreme sport, walking routes, gardens, and places for relaxation. The second big component of our future concept is topography that goes in and out, up and down, creating wavy megastructure in space. This slopes and hills are used as future noise protection barrier and also as walking tour experience for every future visitor of Freiham landscape park.

FREIHAM LANDSCAPE PARK Landscape park - competition Munchen, Germany 2016 During our work on competition, my part of the task was to create the overall 3d model and afterward to create different smaller pieces of it in a more detailed manner. The idea behind circle shaped visualizations is to use them in a way as conceptual diagrams.

Highlights The biggest intervention of future Freiham park location is topography structure that goes from the borders deep inside the residential neighborhood. Loops are widely knows as good solution to make people walking and exploring potentials of one place. The big green loop is our special gift to Freiham community. The best way to connect two big green spots is to make green fingers in between. These fingers are made as water channels together with the green belt around them.
MASTER THESIS PROJECT Pedestrian zone + square reconstruction Jagodina, Serbia 2016 Various facilities are arranged in different parts of the site and one of the ideas is the establishment of small squares - a meeting places in the area of the ​​ site in order to fully utilize the potential of space. Space installation length of over 300m represents a new line landmark in the area and connects the central part of the square with the building of the railway station. In this installation, users can organize various activities and symbolism lies in the fact that the street in which is located the installation had a very important role in the development of the city. First part of the installation is designed as a playground. It contains a central installation for children playing activities and also swings combined with spaces for sitting. In second part of the installation gaming tables and benches were placed in order to arrange different spots for playing games that are popular among senior citizens (chess for example). Third part of installation was made for all citizens who practice outdoor sports. In addition to the benches bars for pull-ups and climbing were added as special future.

MASTER THESIS PROJECT Pedestrian zone + square reconstruction Jagodina, Serbia 2016 The idea behind the project of reconstruction of the city’s central Square and the surrounding area has a tendency to largely restore the old splendor of the location and that the introduction of new facilities achieves long-lost interactions between citizens. Spacious installation is a new line landmark in the area and connects the central part of the Square with the building of the railway station. In this installation, users can organize various activities and symbolism lies in the fact that the street in which is the installation had a very important role in the development of the city after the advent of the railway. In this regard, a new installation symbolizes a new beginning and a desire for change just like at a time when major changes such as the railways and new factories were current issue of the urban story.
Birthday cake concept
Flowerpot concept
An important part of the project is the so-called zones where two or more axes meet each other. At these spots, special design tools are used in order to make hotspots or places of relaxation and gathering. The first case is the northern part of the location, where this socalled cake structure appears.
The second case in our game of hot spots is the eastern part of the location, where this socalled flowerpot structure appears.
The basic inspiration for this concept comes literally from a birthday cake shape. Floors and height can help us to make a contrast in comparison with plain and not so dynamic surfaces around the pedestrian zone.
The basic inspiration for this concept comes literally from a shape of a flowerpot and in combination with very tall lights (over 10m tall), the result is a kind of stage, open and ready for different theater plays, meetings, celebrations and any other public concepts. Collage structure of visualizations is something new, with the carefully chosen color scheme.

FREELANCE 3d presentations - freelance cooperation Freiburg, Germany 2014 As an apprentice, I had an opportunity to spend two months at Stötzer Landschaftsarchitekten studio based in Freiburg – Germany. Among many tasks I had, the most interesting ones were about the creation of visualizations for the future garden show in Eppingen 2017. After successful cooperation, I continued to participate in studios work, so I was engaged as a freelance designer in order to create when creating visualizations for competition - The reconstruction of the city square in Wolfenbüttel. During my engagement in work of Lavaland GmbH in Berlin, I was making visualization for their business partner - Studio Treibhaus, based both in Berlin and Hamburg. The idea behind the competition was a creation of new atrium garden for Deutsches Bundestag. Starting from basic SketchUp model, with specific collage technic I made the fotorealistic expression of our idea. According to the client’s request, I made a complete design for 33 small gardens placed next to the 33 typical villas at future settlement in Doha - Qatar. As a Freelance designer, I had the opportunity to work with Chinar – studio based in Doha, and my solution was made by instructions and site photos given from client.
NOVI SAD 2021 City of culture - competition Novi sad , Serbia 2017 The newly designed solution implies a diagonal split of the site into two parts. In the northern part of the site, a program unit is envisaged for athletes and recreational players. In the southern part of the site, the program unit includes a playground with a space for rest and parents as well as older fellow citizens. Vertical gum - Concept The shape and dimensions of the new installation are such that it cares for itself and becomes a nucleus of further sports activities throughout the site and beyond. Programmatically divided in two ways, the vertical steel structure in the middle contains a staircase as a form of communication. The lateral parts of the tower differ in terms of the number of floors. While the southern part includes two floors, the height of 5m north on the other side covers four floors height of 2.5m. Within two floors, the projected devices are designed for vertical climbing and are widely applied in the new CrossFit concept of recreation. Vertical connections have a different physical manifestation and therefore allow users to activate different muscle groups using them The aim of the different programs of each of the floors is to completely integrate a vertical polygon that allows users an unlimited selection of sports activities. For this purpose, the staircase can be used for fast climbing and run. All the functions of the vertical gym can be used as a whole as a single polygon, and therefore can be a trigger for the organization of competitions and larger gatherings of athletes.

NOVI SAD 2021 City of culture - competition Novi sad , Serbia 2017 New graphics presentation shows us that it is always possible to find a place for improvement in projects that were already made. The basic concept of new graphic development is the fact that with not so many colors and elements new effects and ideas can be in a good way presented. Areal model, axonometry or hide and seek game between 3d and 2d projections can help us to understand this project in a new way. Contrasts and differences are used as tools in order to help us to distinguish some parts of the project from another.

NOVI SAD 2021 City of culture - competition Novi sad , Serbia 2017 Sometimes it is better to choose another path and try something new when it comes to the 3d presentation from a project. Photorealistic renderings can be easily replaced with collage presentations where the main goal is to find a balance between elements that were photorealistic made (in this case - gray shaded rendering basis) and elements with the standard color palette that was important as illustrations. First rendering is special because the idea behind it is to show the view from one of the apartments in the nearby neighborhood. Once made it is easy to notice the position of tower and height and volume as main characteristics of it. The second rendering shows the completely opposite view and can help us to better understand what is happening inside of the tower that was previously registered as a vertical strong component of our project. Presentation of space and usage functions, together with axonometry (previous page) helps us to better understand the basic idea of a vertical gym as a concept.
