RE: CREATING CHIMNEY – THE ART OF REVIVAL
Observing and understanding the complexity of the urban environment of the proposed site (Beogradski pamučni kombinat – Belgrade Cotton Mill). Taking a critical stance and formulating a topic through theoretical and practical research that contains spatial and programmatic analyses. The final outcome is a conceptual architectural-urbanistic solution of a hybrid city center, which includes all the necessary elements to make the theoretical setting implemented through the project completely clear, and the outline of the idea completely readable event at the very end. The basic task is to define and understand the term “recreation,” as well as its connection to the issue of the memory of a place and the association(s) it has for the product. The connection thus established initiates the idea, and the development of the concept and its elaboration lead to answers that ultimately raise new questions. The theoretical portion of the classes is realized through the seminar SKETCHBOOK – drawn thoughts, which fully follows the development of the initial idea through the project. This tool that is inherent to architects and enables the control, recording and improvement of all aspects related to the project is theoretically and practically advanced. The final presentation of the project provides answers and poses new questions, and the sketchbook represents a personal stamp and a note about the process of thinking and creating.
