GIS Analysis of the Cultural Objects in Novi Sad

Marko Vucic Representation of wider spatial environment 17.03.2018.

Within this project task, a GIS database of cultural objects in Novi Sad was created. Based on the data from the site of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of Novi Sad, most of the objects of the narrow city core are selected, which represent the immovable cultural heritage of Novi Sad, together with its attributes (address, floor, style, year of construction, designer, type of cultural property). Based on the data entered, GIS analysis in ArcGIS software are presented which shows the position of objects in the city tissue in relation to one of their characteristics (year of construction, style, etc.). The significance of this analysis is that the obtained results can be applied in further protection or creating further tourist offer-e.g. creating walking routes for touring objects in a city of a certain style or age.

Procedural Model of Romanticism Buildings in Sombor

Marko Vucic Representation of wider spatial environment 17.03.2018.

Within this project, facades of objects in Sombor that belong to the historical style of romanticism were analyzed and generated in the programming language CGA Shape Grammar which automatically generates objects with street facades so that they contain the characteristics of the mentioned style. Analyzed objects are within the protected historical part of Sombor and the basic data on the object (floor, year of construction, designer) were inserted into the GIS database. In the selected objects of the mentioned historical style, the proportions, the horizontal division (width of the openings, the rhizalite, the position of the pilaster, the point of view) and the vertical division (height of the ground, wreath, parapet, roof) of the façade are analyzed. In the analysis phase, elements of architectural plastic and ornaments on the façade were studied and specially modeled. After the analysis, rules were created for automatic facade construction according to given proportions as well as the rules by which certain decorations on the facades appear. As a final result, a program code was obtained for which a procedural model of the object in the style of Romanticism of Sombor can be generated for any street network.

Adaptive Voronoi Facade

Marko Vucic Generative design 17.03.2018.

Adaptive Voronoi Facade is an interactive façade project that responds to the intensity of light and initiates facade elements to move allowing more or less light penetration inside the building. The façade consists of three identical elements, one is fixed and the other two are movable (vertically translated) and connected to light sensors and actuators (servomotors), which allow their movement. The project is inspired by innovative facade projects of ABI, Tessellate ™. The openings on the facade are generated by the distribution of points that define a voronoi diagram, whose appearance reminds of the cellular structure.

Interactive Facade

Marko Vucic Generative design 17.03.2018.

The project presents prototype of facade panels based on the origami principle. The preliminary design was done within the Digital Design course, and the realization of the prototype within the course Generative Design. Under the influence of external factors, facade units change shape. The idea emerged as a solution to the facade of the worker’s university that was caught in fire.

FOLDED[skins] – Design to Fabrication

Marko Vucic Digital fabrication 17.03.2018.

FOLDED [skins] design to fabrication shows the work of the 2014/15 generation students from Digital Fabrication course. Within the course, research and modeling strategies were developed that rely on the logic and technique of folding thin sheets of materials and their application as an element or parametric module of the facade. The results of the project are the prototypes of facade elements created by the application of parametric modeling tools and digital fabrication by laser cutting. Students’ works were exhibited at the Museum of Perception, “Museum der Wahrnehmung (MUWA)”, Graz, Austria.

fotoGAMI – Interactive Facade

Marko Vucic Digital design 17.03.2018.28.03.2019.

The Workers’ University Building in Novi Sad was hit by a fire in 2014 and has not been restored to date. With its height, it has always been an urban landmark. The goal of the project was to reconstruct the facade with an interactive shell whose movement can be programmed or adapted to different needs. The appearance of the façade is inspired by Ron-Resch origami pattern, which enables the shift of façade elements in the space and control the intensity of light in the interior. Kangaroo add-on for Grasshopper was used to simulate the movement of elements. On the prototype of facade unit with size of 1mx1m, the movement of elements with the servo motor was tested. The prototype of the interactive facade was made within the Generative Design course and can be seen here.

Belgrade Tower

Marko Vucic Digital design 17.03.2018.28.03.2019.

The Belgrade tower project is a study that has explored different approaches for designing high-sensitivity buildings on various environmental influences such as insolation and wind. The shape of the skyscraper is optimized in such a way that it gets maximum sunshine and at the same time diminishes the influence of wind. The effects of the wind are diminished by the creation of a spiral leak emulating modern projects such as the Al Hamra, Kuwait, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill projects. Wind impact studies on the object were made by CFD simulation in the Autodesk Vasari and Ecotect software. In addition, the maximum insolation was achieved using a genetic algorithm, which found the most favorable angle of rotation. The final shape is embodied through the design of the physical model.
