// Portfolio Content This portfolio represents set of selected projects developed by me and my first step towards practice in architecture and urbanism. The booklet will guide you through various works that I made during my education years at the Architectural Studies at Belgrade University in Serbia (2007-2010) and Urbanism Studies at TUDelft in The Netherlands (2010-2012). The portfolio aims to demonstrate my working skills on various scales and in accordance with different approaches and project directions. Some projects are predominantly design based, other are mater of strategy and concept and some are the combination of the two.

The “Gass Station” project aims for a representative architectural element that describes its environment through its spatial expression. Finally, “The Food City” project challenged the management of the highly specialized and complex program within the previously established stream of thinking-Food Machine.

Also, the booklet is based on several techniques and tools that I had an opportunity to use during my academic experience. For instance, there is a set of projects that were developed under a technical framework like “Restau-
rant“ (where the building technology was the main course) , “Scheveningen GIS tracking” (where GIS tracks were used to understand pedestrian movement patterns) and “X-tower” (where the possible highrise constructive system was developed). The other set of projects is predominantly dealing with the design of urban form under a previously set design criteria. Those projects are “Ada Huja masterplan“, “The Berlin Olympic park“ and “Nijmegen masterplan“ which are dealing with some higher level of detailing. Projects “Ijsselmonde masterplan“ and “Belgrade Riverfront“ recognize urban patterns of the city and group them into the contextually related typologies that reflect certain city reality.

// GAS STATION
Project Title: Gas Station University: Belgrade University Year: 2007 Track: architecture Focus: architectural design Work Type: Individual work
arch // 2007 gass station
// Assignment: The fixed objective of this project was the program, more specifically the goal was to build a gas station. The challenge was to make this program within the freely chosen urban environment in a way that it expresses the urban context and the meaning of the space where it was placed in.
// Approach: The project started with the choice of the highway running through the plain opened green space for the urban environment. The idea was to relate the project’s form with the constant and monotonous surroundings while exposing the element as a stop within this context. Project acts as one piece element with a repetition that imitates the rhythm of the environment while making it dynamic it at the same time. Afterwards, the evaluation of the project was made in sense of challenging the principle with the contrasting urban environment.

// X-TOWER
Project Title: X-tower University: Belgrade University Year: 2008 Track: architecture Focus: building technology Work Type: Individual work
arch // 2008 x-tower
// Assignment: The task was to make a structural system of the reinforced concrete multi-story building, with the minimum of 30 floors that demonstrates several technological principles. Some of these principles were the core made out of the reinforced concrete walls that brings together the vertical supporting elements and changing the basis by manipulating the number of columns by column-reduction. At the end those principles are expected to be demonstrated within an attractive architectural solution. It was possible to base this project on the existing reference case.
// Approach: The idea behind the project was to make the attractive building by using different constructive elements as the constitutive part of the architectural expression. The main set of techniques used were: the column reduction by angled constructive elements, the main concrete core that is a meeting spot between two main structures forming the x-shape and concrete panels that support the construction where the distance between columns exceeds 6 m.

Project Title: Restaurant University: Belgrade University Year: 2009 Track: architecture Focus: building technology Work Type: Group work
arch // 2009 restaurant
// Assignment: The goal of the studio was to become familiar with the design process as a whole: from the architectural concept to the technical documentation delivery. In the first phase, 4 projects, from the studio, to be elaborated further, were picked. Around those projects groups were formed. Those groups produced technical documentation for an architectural project delivery. The studio requested construction analysis and calculations, installations planning, constructive details and specifications of walls, pavements, construction, windows and doors.
// Approach: The entire project was a learning process of documentation construction followed by crafting. It also included a lot of discussion about the best solutions. All of us did I piece of the work: for example each person of the team developed one big detail. Sections, floorplans and the model were a matter of a group work.

// ADA HUJA MASTERPLAN
Project Title: Ada Huja Masterplan University: Belgrade University Year: 2010 Track: urbanism Focus: urban design Work Type: Individual work
urban // 2010 ada huja masterplan
// Assignment: The fixed objective of this project was the location next to the river as the project area. The assignment was to develop a city on the river. This meant a programing the area in accordance with city needs and under the certain spatial concept that can support it. One of the studio aims was the basic introduction to urban functions, infrastructure, city context, urban typologies and operating on a higher scale.
// Approach: The main concept behind this project was based on the landscape-terrain features of the area and the infrastructure set up of the surrounding neighborhoods. The landscape-terrain aspect generated the main circle-shaped scheme, while the preconditioned infrastructure cuts into this landscape “mesh“. Those breaks play the role of the axis that connects the existing neighborhoods with the new development. Within this concept the program was positioned according to previously recognized needs of the city.

// BERLIN OLYMPIC PARK
Project Title: Berlin Olympic Park University: Belgrade University Year: 2010 Track: urbanism Focus: urban design Work Type: Group work // Assignment: was to make a design that corresponds to Schindler Award competition requirements. The idea behind the studio was the development of the story within the framework of the competition and to learn how to manage the competition within the groupwork.
urban // 2010 berlin olympic park
The competition was about the development of the Berlin Olympic Park according to the “access for all“ concept. // Approach: At the existing situation we recognized a predominantly mono-centric composition with the “summer stage amphitheater“ as a dominant symbolic center. At the same time, the main theme of the park relates with sports that are dispersed all over the area without the strong network that would guide the visitor in terms of the “access for all“. Therefore we decided to use the “summer stage amphitheater“ as the starting point to which we added two other strong centers: Hockey Arena and Equestrian Club. In this way we proposed a network that builds up on the existing strong centrality, developing a strong references in space. Also the station was accented as the landmark that attaches on network as its entrance and its exit. Furthermore, this project was elaborated on the user level in detail when it comes to “access for all“ principles. We were dealing the architectural accessibility of existing and new buildings.

// IJSSELMONDE MASTERPLAN Project Title: Ijsselmonde Masterplan University: TUDelft Year: 2011 Track: urbanism Focus: strategic urban design Work Type: Group and Individual work
urban // 2011 ijselmonde masterplan
// Assignment: was the understanding of the complexity of existing conditions, its history and future challenges through defining of a ‘spatial development perspective’ for a metropolitan region. Also, the aim was to be able to understand and operate within the metropolitan region through the design tools informed by systematic urban analysis. // Approach: “Is Ijsselmonde an island?” Is the research question that guided our vision for the region. Our analyses, firstly on a regional scale, showed the particular position of Ijjselmonde on the regional scale: situated on the crossroads between the morphological type of “green islands”( Zeeland on the south) and the fringe of the “urban islands”( Randstad on the north) Ijsselmonde becomes an important transition area marked by a large diversity on its territory. On the scale of Ijsselmonde, we discovered a variety of “urban types of islands”: its inhabitants encounter dense urban fabric on the north and a rural, green environments on the south. The great typological and functional diversity of different living environment offered on the territory of the island a set of potentials that our group emphasized. Our strategy is to spatially separate, join or generate areas in order to evoke their qualities and identity. We use water as a main spatial and technical tool. Its position is firstly determined on the scale of Ijjselmonde-it divides cities and neighbourhoods aiming to improve the living conditions in those areas and to highlight the existing qualities to those areas. We developed a typological grid, classifying the new islands and defining their role and function. This grid is the connecting element between our strategy for the region and the functioning of the new islands. 29

// NIJMEGEN MASTERPLAN
Project Title: Nijmegen Masterplan University: TUDelft Year: 2010 Track: urbanism Focus: strategic urban design Work Type: Group and Individual work
// Assignment: was aiming towards the concept for the Nijmegen that takes in account various aspects that describe the city reality such as: social issues, economic plans, infrastructure system and existing masterplan for the city,.
My contribution was the development plan for the new center on the North of Nijmegen - Lent. I developed the concept of two centers that generate different urban activity and dynamics, but work as a system. The dual center consists out of the station as a city hub with commercial activities around it. This side of the Lent dual centrality was positioning this new center within the Nijmegen ring-road. The other side of the centrality was reflecting and retaining the current identity and atmosphere of the Lent area that is predominantly green. Within this area the amphitheater was developed as a reconstruction of the fort. The result was dual centrality that aims to connect contemporary city trends and matters of the identity of place.
urban // 2010 Nijmegen masterplan
// Approach: The first part of the project was a group work where we recognized 4 clusters of different activity that described various trends and problems of the city of Nijmegen. Those areas were the industry on the West, old city on the East, the new center and island on the North. According to our vision, those clusters composed the network that had a ring-road as a backbone.

// FOOD CITY - T?F
Project Title: The Food Machine University: TUDelft Year: 2011 Track: architecture Focus: visionary experimental design Work Type: Group and Individual work
// Approach: As a group we based our approach on the unity of the efficiency and as much livability possible. Efficiency was something that described the machine nature of our city, while livability was referring more on the human component of the city. Therefore, our first step was dividing the heavy grow and processes from the living environment. The minor processes that are related to the daily consumption and routine were part of the program that was positioned within the urban area. In this way we ensured efficient transportation and digesting flow. The individual parts were based on the development of three cities that are plugged on the main core that contains already mentioned heavy processes and crops. Those three cities were imagined to have the same main principles of processes, food flows and digestive patterns. This fixed program needed to be placed within three different machines that with its architectural expression demonstrate the emphasized efficiency.
arch // 2011 T?F Food City
// Assignment: Understanding and spatially defining the relation between the food and the city was the main objective of this experimental studio assignment. First part of the studio was based on the definition of the ,population,size consumption, production and waste disposals of the average European city. Then, within this fixed data, 4 groups were formed around different approaches-themes. The theme for my group was the `Food Machine`.

// SCHEVENINGEN GIS TRACKING
Project Title: Scheveningen GIS tracking University: TUDelft Year: 2011 Track: urbanism Focus: technical design Work Type: Group and Individual work
// Approach: Three phases in the process can be recognized: 1/handing in GIS devices to users at the Scheveningen beach, then 2/processing user tracks and mapping them according to different criteria and categories that were as well filled by the users in questioners. The final phase was 3/making a design in accordance with the conclusions that we as a group developed from the tracks. In my case the design was related with the shopping mall passage development. For this purpose, I picked the set of relevant tracks that describe shopping mall users: dominant tracks were the ones that had the shopping mall as the destination, while other tracks that I used were about the users that understood the shopping mall as the passing-through zone. As a result the project was informed by both categories of users. On one hand, nodes surrounding the shopping mall were designed and elaborated as surrounding attractions for the group of users that uses the passage as a path. On the other hand, the passage itself was designed for the group of users that used the mall as a destination itself.

// BELGRADE MEETING ITS RIVERFRONT
Project Title: Belgrade meeting its riverfront University: TUDelft Year: 2012 Track: urbanism Focus: strategic urban design Work Type: Individual work - master thesis // WORK IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT
// Approach: This project recognizes the lack of articulation and connection between the city of Belgrade and its Riverfront due to the role of the border, between different empires, that the river had for centuries. Taking in account the strong urban asymmetry between the city and the river (in terms of development and identity), this project learns from the city and from the river and its users in order to strategically, spatially and contextually position them along the riverfront. In this way the design makes the river a consolidated part of the city of Belgrade in a visionary and political terms. It started with the city and the river urban analysis. According to those, I made the set of user groups that shared the same city reality in terms of history, politics, urban morphology, trends and challenges. Through the theoretical framework those groups were spatially translated. When those groups were spatially translated, the matching with the riverfront took place, aiming to find the best strategic spots for positioning those groups along the river. The current stage of the project is the more detailed design phase that works within the described framework proving its implementation on the smaller scale.

By the term ‘path’, this project addresses the meaning of continuity.
By the term ‘domain’, this project addresses the meaning of enclosure.
This continuity gives a meaning to the path. This type of meaning comes from the sequence of elements that are contextually or/ and spatially related describing an urban theme.
In terms of the use in the project, the domain represents a set of paths and places that compose a familiar and therefore “secure” area. This kind of area provides enclosure due to its recognizable and distinctive urban properties.
