ABOUT: This is portfolio containing selection of architectural projects done by Stefan Gašparović alone or with several collaborators. There are student projects but there are also several competition projects done in collaboration with several colleagues. Born in Belgrade in 1990, graduated from elementary school in Čenta in 2005, graduated from Zrenjaninska Gimazija, grammar school in 2009 and started education at Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade. Enrolled in teching for two semesters as as student assistent at department for architecture. Graduated from Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade in 2014, under the mentorship of Vladimir Milenković. Stefan Gašparović is architect based in Belgrade, Serbia. Interested in architecture, design, art. Also interested in nature, animals and other forms of life and their behaviors, processes, cycles, body structures, transformations. Few of later projects, done at faculty, are based on animals and transformations of their bodies. It was interesting to explore different connections between environment, look and structure of the body. Also interested in film. So far made a couple of short films. Films are mostly about everyday situations. Other group are sort of experiments with rythm, layers, image and perception. Interested in cooking, running, cycling. Participated in exibition “Cities of the future”, Belgrade 2013 with project “Theory 2.2”. Participated in Malta Design Week 2014, as a part of collective exibition “Almost transparent blue” with thesis “The only jellyfish”. Public Broadcasting Service of Vojvodina; competition, 2014.commendation; Dejan Milanović, Milutin Cerović, Stefan Gašparović, Grozdana Šišović Part of official selection in “The shortest day” Film festival, Belgrade, 2014 with film “The first bite”.

CULINARY ACADEMY | HANGING GARDENS OF BEŽANIJA Project year: 2012-2013 Studies year: 1st year Master studies Mentor: Vladimir Milenković
Context is Bežanija hill. What I need is a garden hanging from that hill. It must be an architectural constructed layer of air mounted on the hill. Layer of air that contains spaces and program. Idea is that this architectural structure, in essence, exists to put user in certain position related to nature. Series of beam girders, anchored in the hill, are defining added layer of air. A single staircase interweaves between beams, descending from the top of the hill and connecting all spaces.

INTERIOR DESIGN FOR VEGA IT SOURCING Project year: 2013 Project type: Competition entry Assosiates: Mašan Petrović & Nikola Jovanović
The main idea is reading space on first sight as place where cyber space is being designed and communication with the machines is taking place. Start idea comes from two inputs, electricity and information flow. Visions of that structure are being rendered through matrix of world metropolitan cities in order to reach main communicational lines, their character, displacement and function. In cable network, every junction box, jack, fuse, router, LAN jack, extension cable is placed and mapped in accordance to space characteristics. Depending on case the network is being spread on the ceiling, falling over partially on the walls, or is spread in form of the structure hanging from the ceiling creating impulse towards place where resources are needed.

BELGRADE, YEAR 2100 | RESIDENCE FROM DREAMS Project year: 2013 Studies year: 1st year Master studies Mentor: Vladimir Milenković
Belgrade, year 2100. There is teleport in the future. Teleportation, as transport, is possible for every particle known to men. Nutrients, water energy, chemical elements, everything can be teleported. Human beings can be teleported. Idea of residence is determined only by existance and position of teleport send-reciever. It will collect food, water, energy and all other elements that are required for one house to be fully functional. Around that core, different types of particles are disposed. One type protecting against sun, other against water, third collecting solar power... They are forming flexible skin. Skin is active in transformation as base structure of the house is being transformed. Structures are active adapting, every moment due to user’s needs and environment.

TOBOGGAN Project year: 2013 Project type: Competition entry Assosiates: Mašan Petrović, Nikola Jovanović & Marko Karanfilov
DISAPPEARING – being in a NON STOP MOTION This project was propelled by game with words and looking for possibilities created by different sources. In Serbian language disappearing is “nestajanje”, word that describes process or state when something is disappearing. When “nestajanje” is pronounced whit a different accent it becomes “ ne stajanje”, which resembles to something like constant doing things, or constant moving. Architecture, in this case, should consist of undeniable intensity. In such way intensity is directed oneway, towards man. Architectural entity of that kind is concentrated around things that interest man, things that impel or excite, while physical structure has different tendencies. Project becomes huge toboggan. Interesting architectural thing about toboggan is that process is conducted exclusively and undeniable in one-way. Concept isn’t based on loosing boundaries between structure and surroundings. The idea is using that contact as much as its possible in order to generate structure, which in essence has power to astonish users. The structure touches on outer context. Inner context is medium through which men are affected. Idea is that man in order to his perceiving, doesn’t wish to find out through what structure he is been through, while feeling of the thing is partially blocking mind from finding out what exactly he was seeing. Descending, which is falling in essence, here is used as a tool. Toboggan descends like waterfall, directing torrent towards point with less altitude, thundering through landscapes, taking from them all they have to offer. Architecture disappears by itself as architecture is created by itself. Idea is that new structure isn’t going to be recognized by some of its physical characteristics or style or constructive, but architecture should be recognized by effect.

P8ATM00006B | SMALL HYBRID OF SPECTACLE Project year: 2013-2014 Studies year: 2 nd year Master studies Mentor: Zoran Lazović
By dissolving everything, especially natural thing, at the end is particle that can not be dissolved to any smaller or more simple form. That is energy or energy in form of tension. Idea is to create a tension that exists inbetween a couple of strong tensions, coexists with them and could exist without them. In system like that, one thing is always esentially one thing but in the situation of coexistance it can become one more thing. In system where energy endlessly circulate, some things had to become binding structures. Binding structures connect but they are not thight in a knot. Fields of forces and pressures emerges. Every particle evolve independently. Every force create momentum.

THE ONLY JELLYFISH Project year: 2014 Studies year: 2 nd year Master studies / Graduate Project Mentor: Vladimir Milenković
What happens with jellyfish when taken out of water? For survival in air, jellyfish strusture must evolve according to characteristics of new environment. Evolution does not end with structure of the body, characteristic body movement will also adjust to the new environment. In essence, this evolution is based on perceiving similar characteristics of water and air, and movement as well. If look closer, water and air as environments, independent of how bodys behave in them, we can see them through pressures, flowc, currents, elemenatry units, ability to have diffrent constitution in diffrent areas, density. Using that characteristics it is possible to design transformation of jellyfish so it can be alive in new environment. Maybe start with maping pressures? If pressures are wrapped in some kind of material that would partially isolate it and then take it out of the water, it would be like some kind of balloon. Balloon can define space.
Idea is to create a place that, in the matter of sensation, can displace visitor from Belgrade and place him at Belgrade seaside. Structure is based on body structure of a jellyfish, creature who’s body is, more than 90%, consisted from water. When that kind of structure partially emerge it must evolve. The body becomes rigid as main constructive element. Extremities are attached to the body and they are collecting energy from wind and water currents and transfer it on the entire structure. Others can collect solar energy, filter or process water or can be used as anchors. In new environment, entire structure, pulse, refracts sunlight, sways and using natural forces in that way, for visitor it creates extravagant impression of other natural environment.

C 60 Project year: 2014 Project type: Competition entry Assosiates: Luka Jovićević, Branka Janković
One of the main reasons for the particularity of city planning and organization that is present today is traffic. Because of the tendency for more efficient traffic, cities tend to become dense structures in which everything is relatively close. What would happen if people had a teleport? What would happen if a man could transport himself in no time from one place to any other place on the planet? What would happen if any matter could be transported in a second to any place on the planet? There would be an environment in which absolute natural laws would dominate. There would be a system in which people travel while nature develops without external influence, and everything is available. The main characteristic of that system is that there is neither extras nor shortages in everyday life. The idea is to show a structure that appears in moments during which man cannot teleport, while energy, atoms, molecules can. We are interested in a moment when man has possibility to bring a certain space to himself. In order for matter and energy to be able to connect with something we have formed a crystal lattice that will serve as a skeleton on which changeable parts would apply. Every man gets a certain volume suitable for filling. The volumes are brimmed with spheres that are defined by tetrahedral crystal lattice. In the sphere, fractal indefinite zero is brought in, on which indefinite structure and variation will be based.

PUBLIC BROADCASTING SERVICE OF VOJVODINA Project year: 2014 Project type: Competition entry Project leaders: Dejan Milanović, Milutin Cerović, Grozdana Šišović Concept is to form three vertical unities, different in function and to connect them with communications and common spaces. First layer of structure contains administration, second is large, open hall through light and air come inside the structure and third layer contains different types of studios and technical spaces. Communications are oriented towards middle layer.

NEW WATER Project year: 2015 Project type: Competition entry
WHAT? Project is about bathroom that will deliver almost the same sensation like bathrooms today while use less water. It is all about it is about clean sense, like after the shower. HOW? Bathroom is for everybody. It is universal and it can be assembled from elements. It works on concept of surface from which bubbles emerge and envelop certain, specified part of the body. Bubbles for cleaning are wrapped in thin layer of water, while inside circulate particles and rays that have cleaning properties. WHY? It will be relevant in the future, because it will deliver some of the sensations from bathing experience from today without using enormous amounts of water.
