I 01

hello my name is:

MARKO KAROVIĆ and I am a

MASTER OF

ARCHITECTURE

I find myself to be a creative, driven and a resourceful person that is willing to engage in various fields of industries, as it is ABOUT ME in some way expected from a twenty-first century architect.

When objectives are clear and distinct all jobs are relatively easy to be handled, when goals are not as clear and defined I adjust easily and find my way around given issues. During the course of my studies I have learned that team building and team oriented work is essential for a productive, efficient and comfortable work environment.

Working with more than couple of dozen of students as a demonstrator/assistant later on proved to be a valuable experience, as communications with different individuals demand different approaches as well as methods.

My strongholds are communication, ability to adapt, organize, broad use of computer programs in multiple industries, quick learning and team leading.

I would like to acquaint you with myself. Even in my earliest memories I appears a glimmer of confusion inevitably follow by the need to understand, a red to recreate. As a child I used to deconstruct objects as well as toys so I could understand how they function and work.

What a mechanism is to an adult, magic is to a child, this sparkled my imagination.

These relations started to be somewhat of an interest to me, a constant force pulling me towards itself. As any teenager I had no idea how to channel this, let alone during my elementary school. Some of this yearning for deconstructing and reconstructing showed to be helpful in sociology and philosophy class, for a human mind is just a mechanism, a complex one indeed, but still a mechanism. It as a unit flows thru the social tissue like a cell. And each and every one of these cells make an organ, like a city and its cells. This way of thinking will influenced how I shape my ideas.

AUTHORS

WORDS

Enrolling to architectural faculty was a life changing decision, this has set me on a path I have never expected to walk on, let alone run down. Year after year I grew to know myself better with every project that developed itself from my mind. As years passed I started to understand what architecture is, what it represents, what design was and where I was in all of it. I started to thrive towards the backgrounds of the social fabric I grew in, the history of this nation, even deeper into the human factor as a being.

Ultimately my need to understand led me to try and serve the user with my projects by softly forcing him to see the other side, to enroll in the program of using and being used. From local projects in my town area to hypothetical projects and concept far exceeding our time, I have tried to put my dreams on paper and inspire people to do the same.

What is architecture to us but a figure of speech, yet another language spreading thru space and time, outliving its creators, in contrast to other used by all yet witness by few. If only this language was spoken by everyone, as universally as vocal language is.

THESIS

of

Utopia

and

Belgrade

Dystopia

Preceding the development of the HoMu masters project a theoretically exploration of utopia in reference to individuals and his identity was conveyed thru the master thesis paper.

Taking a step back from the current social setup and its building blocks of identity and dwelling into the future, inspired by contemporary Avant grade ideas of our future, the author is trying to determine relations between history, individual, individual’s ties to the social fiber and the very idea of utopia based on human governance. By analyzing two parallel threads running deep in both human nature and nature as a timeless evolutionary inertia that persists whit us thru us and after us. On one side the author questions the ability of a human to exist, live and thrive in an ideal system, a system of a utopian society, by leaning on the laws of nature that inevitable cause chaos in order to breathe order thru the principles of entropy. The other question that persists to be asked is how to overcome this, how to elevate one self, group, nation or civilization to the heights that overcome any of nature’s tendencies to intervene, and if such actions leads to prosperity or decadence. These questions that give birth to ideas giving seeds of inception to concepts like transcendence of human race thru automated beings, immortality, reaching God, achieving omnipotence, perfect utilitarian government are vital and essential for conceiving and the experiencing the hypothetical. Like quantum physics leans on philosophy as a first step of understanding the unknown, architecture can also follow the same path, forming habits thru its structures rather than forming structure to fit the habits of society.

By analyzing literature ranging from architectural theories to the behavioral sciences as well as ideas presented thru digital media originated from Japanese, a basis was formed to establish a firm ground for developing a pavilion museum with the purpose to primarily influence the contemporary man to think about societies not as product of people but vice versa, to think of one self as a product of society. By learning how societies prosper and dissolve over the course of years, decades, centuries and even millenniums one develops a broader picture of their position and influence of even the smallest and unnoticeable actions that can inspire great deeds putting the will for change and growth. This is an important concept to present to people, especial young minds yet to influence and shape this young world we live in.

Thru out the rich history of the Balkans there has been many conflicts that have desolated cities, regions, countries and even parts of the peninsula. Stretching back to a small pre-Christ settlement established by Celts around 279 BC, then known as Singidunum, Slavs settled the area in 520s and since then this city has been ruled over by many empires and kingdom.

Eventually falling under the rule of Ottoman Empire which fought over the region with western powers. During these conflicts city of Belgrade has been demolished on many occasions.

In the modern age during the Balkan wars, the Great war, World War II and the NATO bombing as the most recent destruction of the city. All summed up, as written history can witness, in 115 wars the city had been demolished to its foundations 44 times.

This has forged these lands for what they are, Serbia has somehow stayed between the worlds, being a bridge that everybody wants to step on but not maintain nor-rebuild it. A gap and a buffer between west and east, Europa and Asia. Difficult as it is to establish a decent heritage on lands that had been swept by wars like grains of sand between winds and dunes, we have managed to save allot.

Now in the 21th century Serbia and its capital city of Belgrade are building up a country that strides forward, one that is rebuilding, building and growing. This should be followed by a nation that knows its history, current situation and of course the future, even more a nation that is interested in this is of upmost importance. This is absent partially by a model of learning that has too many information to give to a young mind exposed to the consumer and marketing oriented world. Bombarded by a sea of senseless noise of brands, words, opinions, information, ideals, ideologies all of it being a confusing mess that cannot be structured in a feasible construct inside a young and an unformed mind. Since digital interface is something known to a child as a familiar and natural interaction it should be harvested for its potential to inspire them and feed them quality media thru it.

Students are asked of to take into consideration the historical relevance of a very variable historical artefacts. Including gates, city walls, towers, archeological sites and similar. It is emphasizes that the history, built and intellectual heritage should be taken into consideration when the project is being developed.

There are no constraints as to what type of building, installation or architecture is to be used, and therefore a very liberal interpretation to the assignment is allowed.

Unfortunately knowledge of our rich and proud history is not thought to children in an orderly manner. Printed media will always have a deep somatic relation to the user and it should be nurtured thru generations, but as time change technologies change and evolve with it, it shouldn’t be ran from, rather we should embrace it. Children use digital interface as intuitive as we use a door a knob or a spoon. It is a question whether these can be compered, a question to which I reply with a yes. We will come at a point in time, I admit a scary one, were our children will govern a world we do not merely grasp, in contrast to our parents who could more or less peak in what we governed with when we were kids, and this gap will never cease to grow ever bigger. But we shouldn’t succumb to the fear this scary future will bring to us, anything less than accepting it will be a mistake and a hypocritical move towards our descendants. As a sort of bridge between NOW and TOMMOROW a model of a modern digital media museum is established. Called HoMu, this museum represents an insulation supporting a form of digital preproduction of past, current and future events. Here people can observe holographic exhibits and cityscape projections over the city of Belgrade as well as interact in immersive chambers. Not only showing how past once looked like but showing how the future might be.

Showcasing 3d reconstructions of lost buildings, natural habitats, city ambient , art and everything our forefathers build and made, giving us the opportunity to grasp the energy put in to make what we have, to defend what is ours. A close and intimate encounter with the past brushing with reality. Thru these digital eyes we can see the future young minds envision utopias in which cities rise above the lands, realities where there are no wars. Imagine the potential this has to inspire young minds to grow and develop their skills towards goals like this. page 17

Since the location on which the HoMu tower is built is in the midst of an medieval fortress and gates built thru the century a semi-permanent structure is opt to be constructed. The general idea is to make this installation as easy to deconstruct as possible. Although the end goal is for the museum to be a permanent structure rather than just a pavilion and idea of respect to the old historical surroundings. The tower consist of three major segments first of them would be the underground station, the main body of the tower and the antenna array.

U N D E R G R O U N D Underground part of the object consists L E V E L S of four stories deep “well” that has horizontal scaffoldings, needed for access to the computers that are suspended between them and panoramic lifts as a vertical communication between floors. The outer rim is surrounded by rooms stretched between three points, points consisting of two vertical staircases in armored concrete shafts and one heavy duty lift with access to all subfloors for delivering heavy equipment.The deeper the floor is the closer to the heart of this project we are, deigned to resemble a military class exploration center. The deep housing of the vital elements and position of the offices around the concrete “well” represent a metaphor of a bunker type positioning. This is developed as a response to the constant destruction in this are for more than 100 times, and in this way sending a message that it will stand thru time and ride out any force seeking to destroy it .

We can view this floor as a collaborative zone between management and the engineers -3 is the heart of the operation holds the office space for main programmers, technical engineers, support staff and digital management.

This is where the digital media is being designed, processed, encoded and optimized for the hardware that this facility manages.

THE PEOPLE’S UNIVERSITY

Since many were uneducated and not all needed to acquire the highest level of education, a model of medium high education was developed into an institution known as the “people’s university “. The goal was to make people capable of skilled labor, managing basic economics, labor management, material fabrication etc..

These institutions were responsible to keep the people’s capabilities up to date with an extremely fast growth.

THE RISE OF Y U G O S L A V I A

Serbia is a democratic republic that has a long and rich history and one of which its nation should proudly look back to, more importantly learn from. After the Second World War Serbia needed to recover from yet another almost fatal blow to the Serbian nation. Preceded by the Balkan wars and the First World War the Second World War was a massive blow to the little industries and agriculture that the Kingdom of Serbia could sustain in the brief period of peace. The most devastating blows, over this period of constant war, was given to the nation’s biological and cultural heritage. Libraries burned, schools scorched and cityscape turned to wastelands. After the fall of Nazi Germany and the end of yet another Great War Yugoslavia emerged from these waistbands.

A new hope emerged, a new nation was born, forged in the hailstorm of war, tired of conflict, horror and loss, a nation striving toward cultural and social prosperity. Industrial, agricultural and educational infrastructures were started to be developed with a goal of reaching utopia.

page 36

CROSS SECTION

page 37

C O N C E P T

In the late 20th century the ideal of a utopian state in an ever growing capitalistic world couldn’t survive. Yugoslavia was slowly getting smaller with each state leaving the utopian dream, eventually Serbia was left as a small state in the Balkan Peninsula reformed as a democratic country opened to the world as a different state.

Followed by all that was capitalism, eventually private universities started to emerge, threatening to diminish the importance of public universities which still excels in all fields education.

Decentralized model of education is a model that was threatening to dissolve the current model of educational infrastructure which was centrally oriented.

In an effort to tighten the structure of this old model a new supplement institution type will be added to fill out the blanks that arise due to changes in type of jobs that new industries create. Most of these types are developed by leading experts in all fields of sciences thru an institution that actively mixes a school and an institute.

Thru an active collaboration of leading experts in fields of bionics, robotics and informatics with students in a form of mentor oriented education. The goal is to produce sound experts that are mentored to jump into the cutting edge of scientific development. In a sense this will become a hive of experts which will represent this country and will set new standards for future generation.

The general goal of this course is the study of the phenomena of modern architecture while applying research on a specific architectural program by leaning on a specific theoretical subject and used modern architecture.

Aside from general architectural discourse, the project developed on this course is closely aligned to with a comparative research, analysis and interpretation of the way of life art imposes on people that practice it in their own lives.

Banks of the Sava river on the western side of the city has allot of either unused spaces or occupied by outdated and abandons shipyards. In the times of economic growth these places were buzzing with industrial notes, a music of its own.

Now that these places are not used anWWymore new purpose needs to be assigned.

AMS building is a multipurpose center with an open space expo-center and a modern high rise social living block above it.

This unusually programmed space is envisioned as one of many buildings in this area that contributes to a new type of living which is planned to be developed. The ideas is to put together two different types of programs that do have a mutual line, in this case that line are the users of the industry that is often showcased in this expo center. Painting, photography, graphic design, dance and many other are exhibited here, and the people who make it either live in the building above it or are guests while certain events take place. This in return forms a cluster of innovating potential focused in both living and work space, maximizing performance. This is generated by modeling the living units to fit the need of the user. This building is home to students, teachers, guests, travelers, single and multi-member living, including family flat for up to 4 members.

By forming a living area for this particular sort of creative people a need for a new and more interesting living typology needed to be arranged. Forming areas to which multiple flats access to formed areas that are used as workshops, gathering areas, leisure cubes in this way the flats them self’s could be used for private matters, peace, quiet and studying while the other social activities happened in the gathering area.

Elevated from the ground floor the space gets a value that is emphasized with trees that will surround the northern, western and eastern facades, aside from the indoor expo-space there is also an outdoor space for exhibiting summer programs, schools and workshops, as well as showcasing exhibitions that are not suitable for indoors.

Typology in use varies allot by designer, comfort and general living standards.

There are tree focus groups that are developed: families, students, young people and travelers. These four group differ in all aspects that influence a typology of apartments like sound, space, privacy, position, access, comfort, accessibility and others. Resolving this mix of lifestyles and needs resulted in a new typology as diverse as the arts itself. We can separate two main segments by observing the typology of the building. Eastern half of the building consists of more private and more secluded apartments, there are two flats for couples or single user one of which is a duplex and a four roomed family apartment.

The family apartment is oriented on both sides of the building, orienting the sleeping and living block into proper orientation for maximal daylight use.

Aside from the green roofs, this building is envisioned to have a green façade as-well. This is made possible by a matrix of perforated metal panels running on all four faces of the building. These panels, made of powder coated alloy, act as a sun barrier as well as supporting structure for plant growth.

The task at hand was to develop a model of multifamily or single family housing on a location that over time grew as a settlement primarily consisting of privately built homes thru the beginning of the 20th century. As the city of Belgrade grew intensively over the course of last six decades this settlement was being transformed mostly by erecting five to six story buildings. As an effort to preserve a part of this settlement’s original quality a plan was drawn to define a part of the settlement as a private-house-only area. This project represents a reply to the given task.On the location where this project is being developed a lot of private homes have threes in their backyard which is ranked as a big environmental value in a developing city, and has to be preserved in as big quantity as possible. This rule of preserving green environment has defined the use of space, since most of the threes are located in the inner part of parcels. The new structure guidelines will have to respect that, which will cause the following form to emerge.

Developing family housing for more than double the number of families will make this area more condensed and will, in return, shape the following form. My approach to this problem is developing a program that will orient housing units in two directions, towards the street and towards the backyard, making it possible to position the units side by side, sharing a wall.The most intuitive way to pack as much units as possible using these guidelines was to use a multistory approach. Taking into consideration the terrain it was possible to organize the structure into three main stories.

UNIT 1 single story APARTMANT

FLOOR LEVEL 0

There are two types of units developed for this location, both of which are designed for a family of four. One unit is spread out as a single story apartment while the other is designed as a duplex flat.

Unit 1 is organized on two levels. First level, which is approachable from the street side only, contains a parking space, commercial space and a staircase for the first floor. The second level is approached from the previously mentioned staircases and holds all the rooms of the apartment, including a living room and kitchen followed by a dining room, two bedrooms and one master bedroom. There are dedicated toilets, one for the two smaller bedrooms and the other for the master bedroom, the other being approachable from the master bedroom only.

FLOOR LEVEL

These apartments are suited for families with grown up children and greater income. As a model it is imagined that the family has two cars and is capable of affording the extra space in the form of the commercial space. The Single story plan also eases movement between the living, dining, sleeping and leisure quarters, the backyard being on the same level. Envisioned as a home for an older and more mature family it leans toward the more traditional approach.

The overall space of the second unit is almost the same with the exception of the bedrooms being on a third level right over the second level. Since this type has two times smaller footprint and equally smaller backyard and green space, these apartments have access to green rooftops of unit 1 making up for lost space, as well as making two separate zones as far as space occupation goes, one being on the first floor with the backyard and the other being on the second floor including the green rooftop.

Facades are designed to appeal to the minimalistic eye. Wide windows are designed to give as much light to the spaces inside and do come with integrated blinds.

Also another reason for these types of windows is to open the very viewports from inside the house, adding to the open space design of the main living quarters.

Being a student housing project it’s vicinity to the city and transit lines were highly ranked on the must have list. The quality of the surroundings is defined by a forested are growing in the park and of a very safe and calm neighborhood in majority consisted of private villas and embassies. Taking the generic model of student housing into an environment with a new set of values is the first step taken on the path of exploring new types and values when student living at hand.

CONCEPT The park is located between three streets that with their section points define a triangle, which also makes the park boarders. A notable difference in terrain elevation is present, this fact defined the program of the project to some extent by forcing multiple entrenches to be at different floor levels. The very shape of the object and the concept behind it follows few straightforward rules: -Orientations for commons and communications towards the inner courtyard.

-Two parallel strips consisting of housing units ( reference to an old model of sex divided blocks ).

-Entrance from both streets and the courtyard.

-Adapting to the terrain.

-Commons shared by all.

TYPOLOGIES There three types of users that need to be accommodated: students, students with family and students with disabilities. In order to meet needs of all two types of residences are developed, one being a double bed room with a bath and the other an apartment with a sleeping room, bath, kitchen, dining table and a small living room. All the users have access to commons although it is expected to be occupied by students rather than families, due to a less quiet ambiance
