The Role of Architectural Education Models in Sustainable Transition of Cities
Vladimir Mihajlov

Abstract: As one of the pillars for design professionals, design education in architecture and related fields contributes to the built environment’s sustainable future. However, despite the dedication of educators, the evolving emphasis of design pedagogy is still not entirely accepted in the academic setting. Concerns regarding outmoded and static approaches in higher education have recently triggered some new insights causing the updating, upgrading and improvement of programs. Consequently, critical thinking and inquiry, creativity and innovation, research and investigation, collaboration and civic engagement, supported by technical competences, have become increasingly valued in the contemporary design pedagogy. In keeping with this pattern, the Sustainable City master’s program at the University of Belgrade’s Faculty of Architecture is organized around a project-oriented methodology. The process is finalized through a Civil Initiative Project Proposal data set established on the Teams platform, that addresses requests for proposals and several ongoing competitions. A Civil Initiative Project Proposal data set created on the Teams platform completes the process and offers the opportunity for active participation in solving the different issues facing local communities.

Illusions, delusions, confusions?
Navigating the Future of Contemporary Cities

Abstract: Contemporary cities, as the ever-changing nodes of dynamic global networks, transform their character, performances and aesthetic in order to face increasing challenges and to respond to the upcoming ecological, technological and social imperatives. Although generating a number of problems, they also provide various solutions which should preferably lead toward sustainable and resilient development. This process is continuously debated and upgraded, but it does not always create a wishful environment of higher efficiency, equity and wellbeing for all inhabitants. Instead, many cities have to deal with a combustible concoction of increased insecurity, fears, threats and overall anxiety, which has a severe destabilising effect on the fragile systems of needs, values and priorities. However, urban space has always had a unique role in every phase of socio-technical change, providing an immersive stage for the various levels and tools of action and interpretation. Materialised through architecture, urban planning and design, their impact reflects in new spatial concepts, hosting directly or indirectly every wave of technological (r)evolution, as well as its benefits and repercussions for both the society and the environment. Considering the complexity of ongoing global processes, which accelerate the pace of urban changes, the paper focuses on the relationship between the detected problems and the innovative responses implemented in urban space. The emerging typologies and their anticipated/achieved impacts will be dicusessed, targeting the issues of poverty, crime, migration, ecological and climate (un)awareness, as well as the needs of sensitive groups (determined by age, gender, ethnicity etc.). These small and large scale transformations and modifications, often with questionable and colliding effects, are frequently supported by ‘green’ rhetoric, although their actual sustainability and resilience might be overshadowed by influential political and financial drivers. Therefore, the content of numerous lists ranking the competitive advantages of each city displays both the contemporary urban priorities and the recent (im)balance of power, testifying about the paradigm shifts which should facilitate our efforts in mitigating the consequences of climate extremes, natural disasters or socio-economic turbulences.

Abstract:A hard structured, preplanned and well organized approach to teaching is a backbone of educational excellence, an incredibly efficient and resource saving behaviour. Rigorous preparations and linear instructions make skill transfer easy. Evaluation is based on quantitative criteria, feedback is clear, grades are fair, overall in-class anxiety level during the course is low. It is predictable and safe. Ever improving digital time shredding tools make a whole process even more feasible. Everything is practical, a hands-on knowledge is passed further in sheltered environment. Results are satisfying for all – industry gets skilled work force, work force gets paid, educators fortify positions. A cycle. But more often than not, a one-size-fits-all approach actually fits none. Arithmetic mean, averages and other rationales that led to various standards made to fit – just doesn’t. And what if the cycle gets interrupted and the structure breaks? If behaviour derails and perspective shifts? When things are open to change and external impact, focus shifts to individual and self. When personal position and subjective reasoning is highly valued, insecurity is embraced in full, anxiety is a companion. Everything becomes open-ended and is free to perform. Unstructured action is an archaic drive, organic, speculative and curious, it’s a human nature stripped off of any fixed objectives. It moves things and grows knowledge, feeds from experience, creates new experience and learns from it. A cycle of a different kind. Efficiency is overrated. Time is not a resource.
