Winning Preliminary Design of New Building of Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade Selected (PHOTO, VIDEO)

Engineers of architecture Bojana Kovac Djurasinovic and Milos Djurasinovic and associate master engineer of architecture Aleksandar Cvorovic are the authors who won first prize of RSD 20,000 at the contest for the preliminary design of the new building of the Faculty of Applied Arts, planned in Karadjordjeva Street in Belgrade.

According to the documentation, the entire concept is based on the optimal fitting of the facility into the historic core of the city, but also on having it add new values to the existing ones, considering its purpose and the number of users, and make the space additionally recognizable.

The facility of the Faculty of Applied Arts is designed as a space whose backbone would be an elevated interior atrium. The entrance to the faculty would thereby be protected from road traffic. Making that interior space green would also make the access to the entrance prominent, comfortable and fully oriented to the features it represented.

The atrium would be suitable for resting and gatherings, working out in the open, outdoor exhibitions, all depending on the needs and the organization of the students.

This central outdoor space enables the introduction of natural light and natural ventilation to all parts of the facility. The noise from Karadjordjeva Street is reduced to the lowest possible level, so the activities can go on without external disturbances.

The flat green roof modestly connects the facility with the surrounding area, and, together with the closed corpus, it can function fully independently from the operations of the faculty itself.



The part of the facility in a separate corpus at the top of the building is fully vertically connected with the lower floors, but also open toward the external public space of the flat roof and can function fully independently (even when the faculty is closed). That part of the facility also features the functions which could have a need for independent use, namely, a multifunctional space – a lecture room with 120 seats with a wardrobe, a historical department, a café and the accompanying sanitary features.
