Master thesis TOWARDS WATER 01
year spring-fall 2011
place Rome, Italy
collaboration Filip Mitrovic & Anne Honkasalo

The idea is to revitalize the abandoned area next to the existing Museum od
Roman Vessels. The new project contains four different buildings and a public
space in between, all of which functionally supporting the existing museum at
Nemi lake near Rome, Italy. Of immense importance is the lake that lines the
area and the untouched surrounding nature.

The idea is to create a space that flows: it privides and encourages peoples
interaction and integrates the existing with the new. The area is fisically (and
functionally) divided into stripes, which overlap with each other in two direc-
tons, and thus create diverse situations which suite to the needs/program.

interweaving between comunication and building formation

The enter for seminars and conferences is the third building in the se-
ries of four planned additional facilities. The stripes actually grow from
the ground level, and therefore form the skin/roof of the building. Two
of these (out of four in total) remain covered with grass. At the micro
level, the system of overlapping stripes in the longitudinal and transverse
direction is beeing again applied. In this way, the system becomes stron-
ger and more stable. The building itselfs contains two/three conference
rooms, bar and restaurant with kitchen and service area.

MULTI CUBE competition entry 02
year spring 2012
place Lazarevac, Serbia
collaboration Filip Mitrovic, TIjana Jovanovic, Milica Vujovic, Natasa Saric, Nikola
Todorovic, Damir Alispahic

The aim of the competition was to design a multi-family complex, which

would provide living for nearly 220 families, in a town in Serbia. What needed
to be taken into consideration was the fact that the project would be devel-
oped in three separate fases.

Our idea was to play with cubes: by placing them on top of each other, and
one next to another, we would create vivd facade from the street view. The
difference between facade plans would give space for bedrooms and balco-
nies. The inner part, that is the courtyard, is designed to be a platform for the
day zone. We created special net, a second facade, that gives the day zone
certain privacy.

Plug n play 03
year fall 2011
place Sao Paolo, Brazil
collaboration Atelier Marko Brajovic team

This is a business center in Sao Paolo, that would accommodate several

smaller companies. The idea for each of them is to have their own entrance
from the yard, and a terrace, whether on the second or third floor level. The
comunication is mainly organized as a shell of the building.

The building itself is a cluster of boxes. The boxes went out of the initial
volume in order to provide space and light for the growing subvolumes. As
an outcome, there is a game of shadows between different facades levels/
depths.

Porto refurbishment 04
year summer 2012
place Porto, Portugal
collaboration Arrebita!Porto team

Arrebita!Porto is a social project that aims to refurbish derelict buildings at

no cost for impoverished owners. The first step is a pilot project where an
abandoned building in the the historic centre of Porto, Rua de Reboleira, has
been selected.

The old building contained apartments and small scholl, but was abandoned
around twenty years ago. The new concept considers division of functions into
two main categories: comercial and living zone. The basement, ground floor
and mezanine are designed to be public spaces, with possible future Arrebita
office, workshops and places for the local comunity. Separate entrance on the
top left leads to the first and second floors, that is, two separate apartments.

Typical Portuguese house implies central communica-

CABA tion which is the stairs that are placed in the middle of the
house, around which all the other functions are centered.
In this case however, the stairs are replaced by a box that
becomes the core, while the communication is being put
on a side.

The main idea is to create one open flexible space, since

the users of the apartments are not known at the mo-
ment. The interior arrangement is mainly free, with one
service box in the middle, around which the space is being
oriented. The box, aka CABA, contains he bathroom and
the kitchen, both on opposite sides. These are all optimized
according to the materials to be used and equipment
modules. The rest of the space is left to be arranged as
needed, depending on the specific clients requirements.

Coffee shop 05
year fall 2010
place Rome, Italy

The spatial element used to organize the coffee shop is a circle. It represents
a table, or a circular separated space. Elements have different scales depend-
ing on the number of people that are using a circle.

There are two types of its use:

1. people are sitting in the middle of the circle (more social, open) / sitting

2.customer looks outside the circle (the most private, intimate, quick to con-
sume coffee) / standing

Habitation hill in Rijeka 06
year fall 2009
place Rijeka, Croatia

The information gathered to start the project comes from the two main as-
pects: topographic condition or steepness of the terrain and a visual presence
of the sea. Design process, structured in the algorithmic way, begins with the
formation of the polygonal mesh onto which subsequent data is transposed.
In a series of steps, polygonal mesh lends itself to become an architectural
form. Traffic ways are accommodate in a gradual transformation of the ter-
rain.

Key isolines are extruded to become front facades of the housing units with
unobstructed views of the sea. Cascading nature of the form provides for the
segregation between the private and communal spaces.

STEPS TO FORM THE ORGANIZATIONAL NET
3
The algorithm that generates the deformations establishes a relationship be-
tween network elements - polygons. Depending on the number of procedures
that are included in the action, that is, the number of iterations, complex struc-
tures occure, as different inter relations.

By using the primary input data, such as position location, exposure to the
water, topography, terrain in the fall, the secondary input data is developed
- the network.

A certain applied algorithm forms a network and generates visual data. In the
first iteration concrete architectural forms are being obtained: objects; in the
second the individual elements within the object are defined; in the third details
and materialization.

Parametric hat 07
year fall 2009
place Belgrade, Serbia

The workshop was the result of Rhino + Grasshopper seminar in parametric

studio. The aim was to develop formal strategies around primal architectural
reasoning. Parametric modeling tools were exploited for the development of
structural, organizational and geometric logic.

The main idea was to generate the topography - which in this case turned
into the parametric hat, which growth/changes would be easy to control. In
this sense, a spiral line formed the outline of the hat, which was later filled
with triangular geometry. Each of the 220 triangles had a offsetted upper
point, which would be the peak for future pyramid. The direction in which the
pyramid grown is well controlled by several attractors, that are put in virtual
hat surrounding space.

Material analysis workshops 08
year fall 2009/spring 2010
place Belgrade, Serbia

The worshops were done in different courses, all based on the research of
materials and their use. The explored materials were cardboard, glass, plaster
and wire.

The methodology was mainly parametric, thus the projects were developed
by the use of diagrams on different scales. The main used software is Rhinoc-
eros with Grasshopper plug-in.

The wall and the hat were later exibited on Mixer festival in Belgrade.

Mixed use center 09
year fall 2007
place Belgrade, Serbia

The idea for the object is to be representative, to present a city highlight, to

be perceptible. In addition, its position reminds on a city facade, which is
happening in the backstage. The object actually contains the city itself, it is
where the city begins. The object is the city.

The functions that the objects contains are: comercial zone, with bar/restau-
rant , service area and two-floor underground garage; administrative area,
with different size officies and service area; at the top floor there is a pan-
oramic bar/restaurant with all the necessary services.

Art museum 10
year fall 2009
place Belgrade, Serbia
collaboration Tina Djekanovic, Milica Vujovic & Natasa Saric

This project was developed as a part of Construction Studio, at the Faculty of

Architecture. The final result was mainly devoted to the detailed plans, sec-
tions, facades, materialization, and moreover the static calculations.

As for the concept, the idea was to create a museum with a circular com-
munication system. The model shows two main parts: simply presented as
the black and the white part (which in reality would mean different outside
materials). These parts are represent different types of users: the white one
is higher, and exclusively serves as a place for exponates. Its inner facade
can also be transformed, that is completely opened into inner yard, which ex-
pands the exibition space to outside. The black part contains services: toilets,
offices, bar and restaurant, and all the necessary storage rooms.

CONCRETE HALL. BEGGINING

This project is ment to reorganize the old concrete hall in the Belgrades old
center. The idea is to produce a space of various possibilities: business, artis-
tic gatherings, workshops, museums, galleries..

The new skin of the hall can be transformed on a daily or a year basis. Once
acepts the people, the hall is chaning without stop.
