RMB 4.3-Typomorphology of modernist settingsyugoslav cultural space in situ

Recommended Prerequisites

N/A

Teaching Methods

3 presentations during semester and one final presentation
Presentations should be in line with three parts of the course: conceptual, contextual and synthesis. In the first
presentation students should conceptualise the thematic framework for research. In the second presentation will be
expected to define research scope. Third and final presentation should be related to the concept of mapping,
selection of criteria for typology and spectrum of re-use. Final presentation is in the form of a research Atlas of
modernist settings that will follow all research phases (graphical, textual and descriptions).

Learning Outcomes

Understand the urban morphology as the study of the physical form of the city aligned with the processes and
agents that shape that form over time;
Understand how modernist urban areas and landscapes are structured, how they evolved and function. Identifying
the principles that mark the genesis and transformation of the urban fabric;
Get acquainted with the phenomenon of open spaces in relation to built structures in modernist city and
landscapes while gaining insights into their diversification, typological perception, as well as an introduction to the
process of formulating guidelines for their transformation and re-use;
Offer theoretical framework to architectural and urban design through analytical research, understanding, and
design experimentation by using the typo-morphological approach In Situ;
Understand modernist urban form in order to inform design strategies and management decisions regarding the
modernist urban heritage in relation to the contemporary challenges.

Syllabus

CONCEPTUAL: Basic determinants and research methodology of urban morphology; Typology,
diversification, and hierarchies of open spaces and built structures in relation to urban levels as the expression of
social, economic, political, and cultural context.
CONTEXTUAL: Observation and measurement perspective, multi-disciplinary and multi-scalar approaches to
understand the transformational logic of modernist heritage; Understanding the formation and transformation of
modernist cityscape and landscape through the understanding of spatial network properties of modernist urban
areas, patterns of urban blocks and its configurational properties.
SYNTHESIS: Scalar sequence of physical forms related to aggregation and spatial organization; In Situ research;
Developing of Morphological Map(s) on all physical scales; Scientific analysis that can be translated into
operational design tools for creating fundamentals and transposing specific values into the design phase.
