Crkveno graditeljstvo u Bosni Srebrenoj u vrijeme austro-ugarske uprave u BiH (1878-1918)

Author(s): Fra Marko Karamatić / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

In der österreich-ungarischen Zeit in Bosnien und der Herzegovina (1878-1918) wurden von den bosnischen Franziskanern ca 60 neue Kirchen und einige Klostergebäude gebaut. Die wichtigsten Pfarr- und Klosterkirchen aus dieser Zeit sind in Bugojno, Fojnica, Plehan, Kraljeva Sutjeska, Podmilačje, Zenica, Vareš… In Kreševo, Kraljeva Sutjeska und Sarajevo wurden die neuen Klöster sowie das neue Gymnasiumsgebäude in Visoko gebaut. Der kroatische Architekt Josip Vancaš hat die Entwürfe für die meisten Kirchen gemacht. Fast alle Kirchen wurden in den historischen Stilen (Gotik, Romanik, Renaissance) entworfen. Die Ausnahme ist Sankt Eliaskirche in Zenica, die die Elementen des Jugendstils charakterisieren. Das kirchliche Inventar (Altare, Skulpturen) entstand überwiegend in den tirolischen und bayerischen Werkstätten der kirchlichen Kunst. Einige dekorativen Maler – Marko Antonini, Josip Oisner, Ferdinand Bender, Anton Huber – bemalten den Innenraum in mehreren Kirchen der Provinz Bosna Srebrena!

Svjedočenje o rušenju crkve i samostana u Gučoj Gori

Author(s): Branko Neimarević / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Ove godine se navršilo 150 godina od službenog proglašenja samostana u Gučoj Gori. U povodu proslave 150. godišnjice samostana organizirana je tribina o povijesti ovog samostana. U tu povijest spada, nažalost, i rušenje najvećeg samostana na Balkanu. Da nas budućnost ne bi osuđivala s nemarnosti opisat ću jedan “detalj” iz ratnog (ne)vremena s tragičnim posljedicama. Dok su se njemačke vojne formacije u veljači 1945. povlačile prema Bosanskom Brodu, ostala je jedna jedinica njemačkih vojnika u gučogorskom samostanu. Poslijepodne u nedjelju 18. veljače 1945. godine, partizani su počeli stezati obruč oko Guče Gore. Uvečer, oko osam sati, zauzeli su mjesto, a njemački vojnici, koji su branili Guču Goru, povukli su se u samostan i ondje se zabarikadirali.

Стварне и симболичке историјско-географске одлике Булевара краља Александра: студија случаја сече платана

Author(s): Nataša Simenunović-Bajić,Aleksandra Majdarević / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

The longest street in Belgrade (7.5 km) that stretches from downtown, from Nikola Pasic Square to the road that leads to Veliki Mokri Lug, through four Belgrade municipalities, has changed its name several times. It was called Roman Via Militaris, then Constantinople road, Alley at the golden cannon, Marko’s Street, Fiseklija, King Aleksandar Obrenovic Street, Boulevard of the Liberation, Boulevard of the Revolution and King Aleksandar Boulevard. Name Boulevard of the Revolution was changed in 2002 to King Aleksandar Boulevard, but these days people have still used the old name (attached through film representation of life in this street in the end of the 20th century) or a shortened Boulevard. It’s quite difficult for people to get used to the new name. Historical and geographical characteristics are relating to the identity of the boulevard before the World War II, after the World War II, during the 90’s of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. Except identifying and explaining the main historical and geographical characteristics, objective of the study is to reach deeper into symbolism of meaning of the famous boulevard identity. To achieve this, we chose case study of plane trees cutting in 2010. The importance of public space, collective memory, belonging to the urban environment and public media discourse are going to be analysed in a variety of qualitative methods.

Тунгусо-маньчжуры и дауры Приамурья: этнокультурное пограничье (по материалам фортификации)

Author(s): Olga V. Dyakova,Vladislav V. Shevchenko / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

The authors offer a classification and analysis of the fortifications of the Middle Amur area, which were built in the Mongol Yuan dynasty period. It is established that the period was characterized by a single type of fortifications – the valley ones, subdivided into two varieties as to the rampart plane geometry: square and irregular (broken) ones. It seems that the smaller square hillforts belonged to the Mongol-speaking Daurs relocated in this region. Larger irregular-shaped fortifications, most likely, remained in the possession of the Jurchens, who controlled their tribal lands. The large square hillforts with complex fortifications apparently served as military and administrative centers of the Mongols, who controlled the territory and collected tribute. No clear distinctions between them have been tracked, but it is important that the valley hillforts belonging to two varieties simultaneously functioned on the same territory and each type of fortification fulfilled its own function.

The Controversy Surrounding the Construction of Mosques by Turkish-Muslim Organizations in Austria: A Multidimensional Analytical Framework

Author(s): Ernst Fürlinger / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The controversy surrounding the construction of mosques has been part of Europe’s political landscape during the past forty years, and it has reached a new level of intensity since the beginning of the new century. The controversy crystallizes public debate and struggle over Islam, migration, and European identity. It’s about more than architecture, the height of minarets or the number of parking places around a mosque. The heated debates surrounding the development of Muslim infrastructure are public forums where societies negotiate questions of belonging or exclusion of the Muslim minority in the national state. In my paper, I will propose a multi-dimensional framework for the analysis of these controversies. This paper is based on empirical research on opposition to mosque construction in Austria, which I conducted between 2009 and 2012 (Fürlinger 2013).

Carol Cortobius Architecture

Author(s): Maria Boștenaru Dan / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Carol Cortobius was an architect trained in Germany, with an initial practice at Otto Wagner in Vienna, who worked for the Hungarian community in Bucharest building churches. An introduction on the catholic Hungarian community in Bucharest will be given. Dănuț Doboș in a monograph of one catholic church in Bucharest offers an overview of all his works. For the three catholic churches on which he intervened (two built, one restored, but altered now) there are monographs showing archive images not available for the general public. Apart of the catholic churches (two of the Hungarian community) he also built the baptist seminar. Particularly the first built church, Saint Elena, is interesting as an early example of Art Deco and will be analysed in the context of the Secession in Vienna and Budapest, which will be introduced. With help of historic maps the places of the works were identified. Many of them do not exist today anymore because of demolitions either to build new streets or those of the Ceaușescu period (ex. the opereta theatre, a former pharmacy). Images of these were looked for in groups dedicated to he disappeared Uranus neighbourhood The paper will show where these were located. Some of the common buildings have an interesting history, such as the first chocolate factory. Another interesting early Art deco building is the pelican house. There are common details between this and the restored church. The research will be continued with archive research in public archives when the sanitary situation will permit.

Restoration of Shusha City: Successes of the Early First Two Years

Author(s): Gabil Aliyev / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

A ruined city. Upon liberation of Shusha from occupation, the first noticeable side that was felt was a large number of signs of vandalism, barbarism, and hatred for Shusha. After the devastation caused in Aghdam and Fuzuli, at first it seemed strange to face brutality here again. As during the occupation years, this city had been the residential area where families had continuously been living and hoilding prestigious events. Most importantly, researchers and politicians have been mouthfully talking about “native Shushi” (that’s how s call Shusha - G.A.) and counting it to be very important for s in each their opportunity. However, hypocrisy is felt more clearly as we pass by every building which is turned into a ruin, and as we walk through the streets with full of residential houses which are full of bushy and grass-covered yards, without ceilings and floors, without doors and windows, and with half ruined by the invaders walls.

Srednjovjekovne utvrde, gradine i gradišta na području Đakovštine – rekognosciranje i topografija lokaliteta

Author(s): Zlatko Karač / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

The methodical reconnaissance of the Đakovo Area covered 44 archaeological sites on which were evidenced remains of medieval fortifications or at least indication of the formal existence of medieval fortifications on those sites. On some analyzed sites which were of toponomastic interest (Gradina, Gradec, Zidina, Tabor etc), no visible traces of the fortifications were found. Nevertheless, even on these sites some surface archaeological traces from the period of prehistory, antics and early middle ages were found. The major remains of medieval architecture were conserved only at the location of the Late Gothic bishop’s castle in Đakovo (today in the complex of bishop’s residence), while the earth substrate with circular or oval remains (bulwarks and dikes) are recorded on several sites (Paučje, Ratkov Dol, Viškovci, Levanjska Varoš, etc). On some historically important sites on which, based on the photos and drawings, there were still existing remains of medieval noble strongholds (Gorjani, Krndij a) in the beginning of the 20th century, today there are almost no visible archaeological remains. Finally, the specific group of medieval church-strongholds is recorded (Dragotin, lost churches in Podgorje and Gorjani, etc).

Narodziny metropolii. Łódź w okresie międzywojennym

Author(s): Rafał Matyja / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The text describes the process of changing the status of Łódź from a great industrial centre to a voivodship capital and the birth of metropolitanism. This change is expressed in the creation of new institutions - the Voivodship Office, the District Court, the military Command Headquarters of the Corps District. Symbols of the city's metropolitan character during this period became a Polish Radio broadcasting station, numerous diplomatic missions, the seat of Catholic and Evangelical Augsburg Dioceses. The new status was also confirmed by its wide area of influence, extending beyond the borders of the province. The face of Łódź was also changing due to the actions of the city's socialist management. The text also shows the importance of this period and the development plans created at the time, for the city to gain a stronger position after the war - based also on the development of universities, cultural institutions, mass media. However, this advancement is made on the initiative of public authorities - national and local, and shows the specific development path of large cities in Central and Eastern Europe.

Budowanie Łodzi nowoczesnej

Author(s): Krzysztof Stefański / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Łódź developed during the 19th century as a large industrial center struggling with many problems resulting from neglect of urban infrastructure. In the field of urban planning, there were negative aspects of planning from the first period of the city's development, when such significant industrial development and population growth were not taken into account; in the architectural sphere, great contrasts were visible, an unfavorable mixture of residential and industrial buildings, and no plans on a larger scale. Attempts to change this situation at the beginning of the 20th century, before 1914, had no chance of success given the policy pursued by the Russian authorities. The first manifestations of modernization aspirations appeared during World War I, during the German occupation, but in the war situation it was impossible to put them into practice. It was only after regaining independence that opportunities for action on a larger scale appeared. However, numerous initiatives of the city authorities and social initiatives brought only partial results in the face of constant financial problems and political disputes. Despite this, it was possible to create a new regulatory plan for the city and undertake investments that would change the city's image. Private entrepreneurs also played a significant role by building a large number of modern tenement houses in the city center, introducing modernist forms on a large scale.

Modernizm, modernizmy i modernizacje w architekturze Łodzi międzywojennej. Przypadek osiedla im. Józefa Montwiłła-Mireckiego

Author(s): Aleksandra Sumorok / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Interwar modernization took on a special dimension in Łódź - a multicultural, multinational, monofunctional center that developed dynamically on its raw roots in the 19th century, on the one hand representing modernity (industrialization, urbanization), and on the other hand, backwardness in the sphere of culture, education and quality of life. Modernization concepts were created here based on Western European ideas, but they were not copied but actively modified. Particularly interesting in the context of the diversity and shape that modernity takes in Łódź are initiatives related to housing construction initiated in the 1920s by the city government. A new spatial and social landscape was created, dynamically reacting to what was happening around, both on a national scale (building an independent state; Łódź's new role in it) and in the region (healing and modernization of a center with many civilization backwards). The starting point for me will be, first of all, the estate named after Józef Montwiłł-Mirecki, one of the most modern and pioneering housing projects in Poland in the second half of the 1920s from the point of view of modernist form, urban planning and the concept of a social estate.

Ruiny nieobiecane. Destrukcja i re-konstrukcja łódzkiego modernizmu

Author(s): Małgorzata Nieszczerzewska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article attempts to answer the question of why we need nineteenth-century architecture today and what the revitalization "game of modernity" in Łódź is all about. The author analyses the issue of the process of modernization of Łódź in the context of multidimensional construction/destruction/re-construction of individual fragments of its space, using primarily the concept of ambiguity and multidimensionality of ruins as a cultural phenomenon. With reference to the novel “the Promised land” written by Władysław Reymont, she emphasizes one of the basic ambivalences of the ruins, referring to their allegorical and spectral nature. Analyzing the process of contemporary re-contextualization of the ruins of Łódź (primarily in the sense of their revitalization and revalorization), the author proposes the use of the term "consumed modernism" and evokes the context of vintage culture.

ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE OF SERBIA: VICTIM OF NATO ATTACK

Author(s): Valentina Vuković,Željko Budimir / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The aim of this paper is to present the architectural heritage of Serbia bombarded by the NATO alliance and to point at numerous issues and problems in Serbia caused by the bombing. The paper is divided into four chapters: Introduction, Destroyed and Damaged Architectural Heritage, Breaking of International Conventions and the last one – The Army Headquarters Building: Reconstruction or remembrance of Crime like a Pledge of Peace in the Future. Among the numerous worthy architectural objects designed by internationally recognized architects and significant examples of Yugoslavia post - WWII modernization, NATO has destroyed objects-symbols of anti-fascist struggle. Moreover, many temples were damaged, even those of exceptional significance under the protection of UNESCO. Since the military operation took the humanitarian character, so far there is no liability accepted for human victims, as well as the demolition of cultural and historical heritage as they fall under “collateral damage”.

Mediul construit românesc - provocări, răspunsuri şi soluţii. Conservarea şi restaurarea monumentelor istorice

Author(s): Gabriel-Valentin Georgescu / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The purpose of this study is to bring forth the architect’s role in the conservation process of heritage buildings, following a more traditional path in an era of technologic evolution. It is fundamentally necessary to find conservation-compatible approaches and energy solutions that allow maintaining historical and aesthetic values, while lowering energy costs and minimizing environmental impact. Our study aims to identify methods and techniques for treating and optimizing built structures with historical and/or heritage value with an emphasis on the role of the architect. The paper illustrates how the most appropriate intervention can be achieved through processes that aim to achieve sustainable restoration/conservation. There are several green technologies that might be imbedded into historic buildings in unobtrusive or invisible ways. The restoration and consolidation of historical buildings represent a large and complex challenge requiring the involvement of several competent bodies from different fields, as well as the direct involvement of the community. Through theoretical analysis and by using appropriate methods of identification, evaluation and the choice of measures and techniques corresponding to each case of restoration and consolidation, a future of these structures built to carry forward the cultural heritage of a community or nation can be ensured.

İnşaat Sektöründe Cinsiyet Eşitsizliği; Kadın Mimarlar

Author(s): Merve Tutkun,Murat Tutkun / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Women have undertaken various roles and responsibilities in society from past to present. While these roles, which change and diversify under the influence of traditions, cultural norms, economic structure and social environment, sometimes bring to the fore areas of action where women are more active, they sometimes bring about discrimination and inequality of opportunities against women, and therefore their separation from action areas. This understanding, in which men and women are evaluated separately, has brought about a significant separation, especially in professional acquisition and business life, and certain sectors have been socially accepted as areas where women cannot take on a role. In this context, the construction sector, which is generally accepted as a business line in which men predominantly work, was evaluated within the scope of the study.Engineering and architectural services, which stand out as professions that require qualified education within the construction sector, were examined within the scope of the study in the context of women’s duties as a business line, their opportunities to use their potential and the difficulties they experience in the sector. In this context, the difficulties experienced by women who work within the architectural professional organization in office work and also in construction site / field work, both during their education periods and in business life, have been analyzed analytically within the scope of statistical data based on survey studies, as well as theoretical and conceptual evaluations in the context of gender equality / inequality.
