ARTS AND CRAFTS CENTER Wuppertal, Germany

Date: 2016 Place: Wuppertal, Germany Size:~5.500 m2 Status: Academic Project

This Master thesis project that was produced within Advanced Architectural Design as one of specialisation in Staedelschule is based on interrelation of the facade as a main architectural element and its techniques of conception. Program has tendency to investigate and improve design of domain of ‘’deep facade’’, whereby this ‘’deep’’ should not be misunderstood as a literally and merely geometrical issue, but as a way richer process of abstraction, relation, interpretation, translation, representation and – even more important – an interest for architectural effects and affects. Attempt is to conceive strategies for ‘deepness’’ that are hidden inside the flatness of the facade by itself.

Duality and integrity, unpredictability and unexpectedness, visibility and invisibility as well as the entire process of transformation from one area to the complete opposite were the main issues whose answers have been tried to be provided by this project.

In architectural framework this mentioned questions have their offsprings in inquiry: How it is possible that one body contains different one, but at the same time has its own characteristic of a system that it is formed of?

Starting from something that exists with it’s own strong characteristics and transform into completely new, not only appearance and form, but behavior and purpose.

Project was designed for the town of Wuppertal and placed on location in wider city center, maintaining existing almost neglected building, and transforming into new one.

Concave and convex curves that are used in generation of ‘’templates’’ led to the facade being conceived as a set of flamboyant lattice deep structure.

In this way the surface is recognizable as historically contextual, while at second glance it appears ‘‘radical’’ since it is tectonically materialized.

MULTIPLE PUBLIC CENTER Frankfurt, Germany

Date: 2015 Place: Frankfurt am Main, Germany Size:~1.500 m2 Status: Academic Project

Based on research of the relation between different entities and promotion multiple conditions with complex and variable relations, at the macro scale, the project is a linking element between different bodies, in this case, couple of surrounding buildings in a business district.

Research of Surface-to-Volume transformation, that precedes this project, shows how one single surface can be transformed into mass. Serious of generative drawings later transformed into different volumes of clay objects present how one single surface can form threedimensional volume space where the mass is achieved by increasing the thickness of the wall. Established forms of the sculptures include different surface actuation that results double curvature of the surface. Through this operation of transformation the voids in surfaces and masses become visible that leads to the question of relation between in-and-out space.

In conceptual way, this project shows the solution of Detaching from the Ground as a relation on Souk of Middle East or Northern Africa as a model of creating interiority in outer space as an alternative to open public spaces. The Canopy merge into a landscaped roof that provides shade for walkways bellow. This roof also connects the perimeter buildings together creating a bilevel entryway into each, and the Grotto-like space bellow which becomes and inviting point.

Programmatic concept has been formed from multi-linear fields and network spaces and consists of multiple public spaces that cause variable relations between them, leading by the main idea of Getting Together different social, cultural and ethnographic groups in an area of boundary between Frankfurt and town of Offenbach.

MUSEUM FOR CONTEMPORARY ART Novi Sad, Serbia

Date: 2007 Place: Novi Sad, Serbia Size:12.800 m2 Team: M.Nikolić, D. Antić Duty: Complete Design Status: Open Competition Entry

The main idea of conceptual settings of Museum of Contemporary Art, was the aim of competitioning clear functional and physical space of the new museum building and realization of multifunctional indoor public space for temporary exhibitions with possibility of mobility of space for the reason of other activities in culture and education.

Giving to walls other function that they have had through the history of architecture, to give them possibilities to be the room for other activities of employed stuff was effort of this competition entry. Opposite, an open and transparent space should be given to visitors of the museum. In that reason the main corpus of the structure is opened and transparent, while the rectangular form of the thick double wall, in which are the spaces for employers surround the area of the permanent exhibition.

MARKET PLACE ‘‘PALILULA’’ Belgrade, Serbia

Date: 2009 Place: Belgrade, Serbia Size:~8.000 m2 Team: M.Nikolić, N.Novaković, I.Mrkonić Duty: Complete Design Status: Open Competition Entry

Conceptual urban architectural design of mobile market place and object on the new square in function of new market; Design of the new public plaza which would be opened during the late afternoons and nights hours and covered space for market area and market stalls which is going to be used during the daylight; Leveling of new design area; Connections between different consumers, sellers and people were main course in designing Market Place ‘‘Palilula’’ for the competition entry. Morphology of the terrain causes good study solution of the site and posibilities of making connections of the important points that are located at different levels. The aim of the design solution was to detect the main flow of movement of the users of market.

A small percentage of construction in the proposed solutions in the area of the square-markets, as well as the shape, position and transparency of the set of elements contribute to the overview of vistas and fluidity of movement flows of the users.

T he main idea of conceptual setting was the idea of forming ​​ a clean environment in terms of design, use basic and simple forms and lines of the compositional elements of the ensemble, the design of urban furniture, and the materialisation of used elements. The distinctive and recognizable element of the Bitef building is taken as a model and a primary artistic expression in the further planning and treatment of partners, such as the disposition of the furniture. Placed on the line bisecting the angle building Bitef fountain with its position and structure reflects the dominant vertical elements of the building directly behind it. In spatial term, the meeting place of wasps Knez Miletina and Drinciceva street, is dropped as well as the bisector the benchmark in space.

A greater number of floor lamps and memorial plaque Mira Trailovic into the soil could be characterized as extreme classicist conceived.

T he main motive of the element of the architectural concept is a circle. A unique and dominant in its spatial concept, formal and dimensionally visible, large circle, displaced from the geometric center Square, forms the entire area and gives a poetic character, which was one of the main ideas. A design placed playful and jagged structure made up of several circles of different sizes dinamizes the introduction of the main pedestrian treated different paving.The whole area is thanks to Square, tentatively, flat ground, and treated without elevation sloped and vertical obstacle, but as a space for its edge extending integrated streets, achieving the unity of the whole environment and direct contact with the ground surrounding buildings park ensemble.

As a result of examination forms and one of the basic postulates of functionalism, that form follows function, there is a facility of the Sports Center ’’COLONY’’. The building is based on modern principles of designing and implementing modern materials, with geometry of dynamic structures, large varieties of form, height and materials that emphasize internal functions. Facades are designed and made by combination of alucobond and fundermax panels.

In the context of the building intended primarily sports, in addition to three separate sports hall there and support facilities, shops, children’s playground, and a coffee bar.

MODEL FOR SAVAMALA Belgrade, Serbia

Date: 2013 Place: Belgrade, Serbia Team:M.Nikolić.K.Shinagawa,B.Stanić, M.Popović, D.Spasojević, P.Milić, A.Ugrinić Duty: Research, Design, Production Status: built

The aim of this research project was to create a platform where all the different people, steakholders or developers can gather around and talk. As an urban historical district, Savamala contains many layers, and as such complex neighbourhood we had plans to recreate it in the form of a comprehensive 3D architectural model.

The challenge was to put all information that already exists, next to each other, because, usually, information is observed individually. On that way, it is impossible to see the relation between them and it becomes a network, a knowledge base to comprehend this whole area.

People were involed in process of making of this model, with their personal impression of the neighbourhood, and collecting objective information from many institutions and showing them in the model was the crutial point of generating and designing model itself.

Physical structure serves as a compass for the Model; it helps locals to identify, participants to orientate and shows the complexity of formal physical manifestations in the area.

Ground level is a connection between public and private spaces; it is the most active level in Savamala; it shows all entrances; inner courtyards; indicates program division, shows traffic research, etc.

Archive gathers each street and a house number in the area and is divided accordingly; it consists of informations from divese relevant institutions, archive drawings, old and actual photos, interviews, etc

Information palette is related to the plot, it shows 100% of a total program and property of a plot it represents, and its therefor divided accordingly; diverse pictographs direct to additional information: restitution issues, legally rented spaces, legacies, level of heritage protection, etc; graphs show dynamic between daily and night usage of the spaces; number of a plot directs to city database.

Plot Layer gives an overview on cadastrial percolation and its consistency with the actual situation.

A Box is on wheels; Every ‘island’ (a city block) can be explored separately, in a relation to another one or as a whole.

Sound Layer consists of recorded local stories told by people living in the area; They tell about past times, personal histories, their expectations, problems, cisions, dissatisfactions.
