The article presents an interdisciplinary view of long-span timber structures, combining architectural and environmental approaches. The authors, working in the field of architectural design, analyze wood not only as a structural material, but also as a means of spatial, aesthetic and cultural expression. Particular attention was paid to such aspec...

The primary goal of this paper is to develop a mathematical model that describes groundwater flow within a porous medium. By employing mathematical modelling techniques for fluid flow analysis, valuable insights can be gained into complex flow conditions that are often difficult to assess using conventional analytical methods. Given that the spatia...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key process in hydrology, agriculture, and managing waterresources. It affects things like irrigation planning and climate research. In this study, we useda temperature-based variation of the Penman-Monteit (PMtl) equation and the Hargreaves(HARG) equation to compare with the standard Penman-Monteith (PM) method foresti...

Koenigs meshes should be more explored in the field of architectural design due to their various fabrication efficiency factors for doubly curved grid-shells. Beside being planar quad meshes (PQ-meshes) they have additional property of duality and are closely linked to graphical statics: their diagonals and those of their dual mesh represent form a...

Bovan Lake is a reservoir in southeast Serbia, used mainly for water supply, flood protection and recreation. The purpose of this study is to better understand seasonal variations in water temperature by examining the thermal characteristics of the lake at various depths within the intake tower. Water and air temperatures were recorded at five diff...

Natural lighting is a key factor in the organisation of residential space, influencing visual comfort, psychological well-being, and energy efficiency. This paper analyses spatial configurations of apartments in Serbia, focusing on the retreat of residential rooms, particularly kitchens, into interior zones lacking direct access to natural light. D...
