Responsive solutions in building industry are normally associated with high budgets. In contrast, this is a low-cost application of adaptable architecture. Proposed design is not site specific; it is configured to suite different surroundings and varied demands. For practical reasons, it is based on the use of a single component designed for infinite growth within a recursive geometric pattern. Read more
Kopaonik Mountain Home
location: Kopaonik | size:120m2 | status:on site
Traditionally, mountain homes in this region are built around the same formula with characteristic roof geometry. This one takes the idea to the extreme; roof planes are dominant while external walls are omitted altogether. Front façade is the glass screen oriented toward hilly landscape. Existing planning code and client’s preferences are translated into the design rules for relational modeling resulting with a number of possible configurations Read more
Palilula Green Market
location:Belgrade | size:3096m2 | status:competition
The competition brief called for an architectural solution for the public space with the changing use throughout the day. Exactly the topic we would choose to work with. According to the brief, green market was to occupy the place in the morning hours, and in the afternoon and evening this was meant to become a public square where different forms of street art would unfold and people would gather and socialize. We thought that either/or strategy doesn’t work, that market and any form of social or cultural activity would work much better in synergy and have developed proposal which provided for simultaneous events.

Another mountain home project revokes experiences gained from the house at Kopaonik, but adopts explicitly different strategy. Internal space is organized around centrally positioned core with structural, heating and ventilating purpose. The building is than oriented toward idyllic surroundings with its external walls and the roof seamlessly combined to form an energy efficient envelope. The owners are calling it Yurt home in reference to a portable, felt-covered, wood lattice-framed dwelling structure traditionally used by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia. Read more

Chandelier
design by Hrib///status:prototype
One of the ideas behind this website it to create a platform form which young architects and designers will be able to promote their own work. The endorsement initiative comes from our involvement in academia where often enough we come across results ready to become products with the commercial viability. Yet, the invitation for such collaboration is not exclusive to academia and remains open to anyone interested. The first of the kind is an item called the ‘Chandelier’ designed by Aleksandar Hrib and made of recycled paper tubes. It is conceived as a customizable product with the potential to adjust according to the changing requirements. Read more
Snow City
study for London Festival of Architecture 2008
Dramatic temperature changes, sudden rainfall and rapid changes in pollutant levels – our cities’ climates are becoming more and more difficult to predict. Architects and planners are faced with increasingly complex and uncertain information when shaping tomorrow’s cities. Does this mean there should be a radical rethink of how we develop urban space? –Introduction from the Dana Centre – May 2008.
The landscape of Snow City is a representation of a world inundated with snow and reshaped accordingly. How might the world respond to various climatic conditions, and specifically to snow? In order to understand this premise, it is necessary to look to the natural environment and how geography is constantly transforming itself with the forces exerted in the course of seasonal and long-term changes.
