Interior design is a complex process which includes numerous steps from the concept development to the design realization. Numerous factors affect the design of interior architecture of a space. One of the basic quality factors of a realized interior design is color. Complex nature of colors and their impact on the art, culture, psychology and religion has been often studied. Color is observed as a fundamental quality of our visual perception. There are numerous developed theories and assumptions related to the esthetic comfort offered by colors, and to their effect on human psyche. The paper addresses the importance of colors in the interior design. This includes housing buildings, but also public buildings such as administrative, hospital, educational institutions. The importance of usage of specific colors in day and night zones of housing areas is analyzed. The experiments conducted in this field, showing the wide range of effects in various aspects of human life are considered. Based on the analysis of the conducted experiments, conclusions are drawn about the implementation of colors in the public areas interior. Their effects on productivity and disposition of employees, recovery of patients in hospitals and efficiency of student work in schools have been shown. The goal of the paper is analyzing effects of colors used in an interior on the users of the corresponding area.
The fired earth products are from the dawn of time very readily used as a building material in architecture. Regardless of the geographical area, or era, both adobe and bricks have been often used because they are easy and cheap to manufacture. The paper provides the review of adobe and brick use, from the earliest times until nowadays. The evolution of their production, forms, physical properties and ways of their usage on the structures are presented. The goal of the paper is an analysis of development of use of these products which will certainly remain in use for many years to come.
Sustainable and affordable technologies are an important aspect of environment and energy efficiency. Environmental pollution in urban areas is one of the causes for poor air quality. Gaseous emissions from daily traffic are continuously increasing often exceeding the allowable concentration in the atmosphere. The development of self cleaning materialsphotocatalytic building materials-particularly when applied to facades, can contribute to providing the clean the air and to improvement of sustainability levels. They represents one of the most promising solutions for reducing air pollutant concentrations in urban areas, proving to be really effective and showing a real eco-sustainable value. The paper explains the mechanism of self-cleaning of façades, their types in architectural design and the importance of their application.
The subject of this research is the Paštrovska house type of the Montenegrin coast. It is a part of the cultural heritage as a manifestation of individual housing, whose formation was affected by historical, sociological, climatic and other factors. It represents a collection of all the artifacts of material, social and spiritual culture, created throughout the centuries, to the present day. In this paper are analyzed climatic, topological and sociological factors as well as the used materials which affected the formation of this type of coastal house. The goal of this paper is to establish which of the mentioned factors had the greatest effect on this, in many respects, special kind of traditional sustainable architecture of the Adriatic coastline.
Cultural heritage represents a unique and irreplaceable cultural value of a nation. Preservation and protection of cultural heritage is an important moral role of the entire modern society. The paper singles out the notion of vernacular architecture and traditional houses as a significant part of the architectural heritage. The case study includes examples of traditional houses in Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria. The current condition of buildings, their purpose, the degree of preservation, as well as the applied methods of protection are considered in more detail. By analyzing examples of positive and negative practice, conclusions were drawn about the active approach to the architectural heritage of these countries. The goal of this paper is to consider the approach to the preservation of vernacular architecture and the relationship of these countries to this form of cultural heritage. The methods used in the paper are analysis, synthesis, comparative analysis, modeling method and case study.
