In relation to laste year’s 0910M5 design brief …. The City of Belgrade is launching an international one-stage architectural competition to design the Beton Hala Waterfront Center in Belgrade. The Waterfront Center is envisioned as the principal new access point from the capital’s riverfront to its historic core, and a contemporary architectural anchor point for a vibrant pedestrian zone in one of the city’s oldest continually inhabited parts. http://www.betonhala.com/2011/
With the use of and with the multiplicity of s-motions, proposed structure tempts to create a specific way of moving and perceiving space. Its sinuosity has tendency to seduce subtly. Proposed structure is not defined by fixed points in space as fixed points are not important here. Although, the construct is not pointless, but what maters here is a different kind of point, more like control point of a spline and the motion path created by such structure.
S-motion is characterized by inflection that could be sensed in writing or shaping of letter “S” and that is the […]
Here is what Fujimoto said about his working methods at yesterday’s talk:
….we made many many models. We made a model and than we made hundreds of models.

The initial idea was to develop a system that is modular, and at the same time, a system that does not enforce repetition, like most modular systems do, but on the contrary, endorses differentiation of space, allowing for different qualities of space inside of it. Proposed module, the dodecahedron, is load bearing and multiplied to support the membrane of the building which provides a diversity of spaces inside, suitable for different and variable usage that depends on the needs of the artists and vitors. Such system divides the space roughly on ateliers for artists, placed in the […]
Cultural center is composed of two wholes. The first one is ground floor – remodeled terrain with a polycentric organization of space. These centers are based upon the activities that are supposed to happen around them and specific service functions inside. They become the only structural load bearing element of the building. The space around them is polyvalent, the program is defined only among the centers, and is spread freely between them, according to the users needs. During the day it is open to public, cultural programmes are happening in the open, and it becomes an extension […]
In contrast to museum institutions where space organisation is precisely determined in each and every segment, cultural centers are being formed throughout their use. Such concept gives everyone an equal opportunity to find their own path through the building and to develop individual scenario of use. However, not one use is isolated. Combined together, different scenarios of use form the overall image of the space. Architecture is representing a shell which is being populated and filled with activity. Accordingly, result is always unpredictable. Building consists of two segments: public space and working space for artists. The core […]
Patterns of structure….Working on the summer term agenda for the design studio, presentations are tomorrow 13h…will be showing Hans Jenny’s Resonance work, discovered through Greg Lynn’s book “Animate Form” …speaker’s voice is quite something.
Ovde vidimo uticaj rezonance na materiju; vibracija pokreće čestice neke supstance. Promenom frekvencije, odnosno borja vibracija u sekundi, dolazi do materijalne promene. Ovo je primer dinamičkog sistema, u kome se forma manifestuje kao segment kontinualnog procesa. Kod ovakvih sistema dolazi do promene unutar samog sistema prema informacijama koje stižu iz okruženja.

Cultural center is perceived as a mediator between the public and the artists. It’s main role is to inform and educate everyone, and to include culture in our everyday lives. The idea is to design a space which would realize this mediation. By offering access to the roof from every level of the object, a public space is created and the common notion of a roof is redefined. It becomes an open space flowing throughout the whole building. Thus, this void connects the park in front, the spaces inside the center and the inner private gardens of […]
