Contemporary architecture of social buildings in the years 2000-2015 in Pristina and the importance of the photographic presentation of these buildings Zana Prelvukaj1, Anisa Rada1 UBT College ; Pristina, Republic of Kosovo [email protected] [email protected] 1, In this paper will be treated the topic Contemporary Architecture of social buildings in Pristina, during the years 2000-2015. The research aims to inform the reader about the history of architectural objects, inspiration, time of construction, operation of the object, materials and the way of design which was used in the years in which it was built. The information obtained from the research, shows in detail the way of architectural creation of the work, as a characteristic object of the time, which is rich with a series of technological and artistic features, which give value to the object and represent in a dignified way the style of to whose construction the work in question belongs. In addition to the theoretical explanations, which are part of the research documentation, the features of using photography as a document tool of contemporary architecture in the period 2000-2015 have been analyzed to more easily understand the features of the object in question and document the current situation. Keywords: Contemporary architecture, photographiy, building History of Prishtina Prishtina is considered as an old city and today the capital of Kosovo, lies between the small rivers of Prishtevka and Vellusha, rivers which are closed where after the loss of rivers Prishtina gets the name ‘City without river’. The introduction of technology in society presents social and cultural challenges that are causal in the further development of economic factors (capital, land, construction, image, etc.) and in the real culture of a people. Nowadays the development of technology enables the creation of new ideas in art, architecture in an adaptation to the culture of the country. Architecture as a science of construction art transmits elements through bodies, materials, colors, textures, etc. Architects created very important works finding inspiration in various ancient objects, early culture, living beings from which they intertwine very well with the knowledge they have gained (Sokoli, 2013). This form of creating new ideas in Kosovo began in the post-war period of 1999 with Serbia. Kosovar architects mostly emit without understanding the physiological and global concepts of architecture (Sokoli, 2013). Do we have contemporary architecture in Prishtina? After the war in which Kosovo and the city of Pristina faced, the Serbian arm destroyed many images depicting our culture. After 1999, with the end of the war, the city of Prishtina started its reconstruction. After this period, uncontrolled construction began and the expansion of the city. Figure 1 - Reconstruction of Prishtina after 1999 (nmal.info, 2016) After a research for which we have worked about buildings that belong to the period 2000-2016 of construction, we can say that Prishtina contains some small elements of contemporary architecture. The current situation of Prishtina belongs to different periods of urban development. The new cycle of change begins to be observed after 1999 (after the war with the former Yugoslavia). Movement in space plays a very important role in creating the architectural image. Paths are spaces where public life takes place, taking for example neighborhoods like ‘Dodona’ and the neighborhood of ‘Muhagjerëve’ are characterized by narrow curved streets where the experience takes place at the moment and is not coherent (Sokoli, 2013). The same thing happens with modern architecture like the neighborhoods 'Ulpiana' and 'Dardania' which are well thought out and planned, clearly defined roads, paths along which citizens move every day and experience freely what they have around . However, today Prishtina is overloaded with numerous unplanned constructions, which first lost the historical values of the country, then the image of Prishtina as the capital. Figure 2 - Prishtina 2000s (Ben, 2020) Figure 3 - Prishtina in 2015 (Ben, 2020) Contemporary Architecture in Prishtina in the years 2000-2016 Kosovo as a country that has gone through very difficult political stages from which it gained a negative impact on the contemporary architecture of Kosovo.Recent constructions, in the present time show that man and architecture have a history which they keep in themselves. We can say that it is tragic what happened to the post-war constructions which results in a culture of non- compliance with civilized rules and urban rules. Designer and builder in this period became any individual who had the opportunity to invest. Architects or civil engineers had no access to express ideas and implement them. Therefore, Prishtina extends a mixed architecture or a chaos, which is difficult to improve without regulating the level of security, and urbanism as an architectural concept in our country for which the image of Prishtina should be increased (Sokoli, 2013). We, as a new generation in the field of architecture, will be offered a space for interventions and implementation of contemporary architecture based on the rules and laws of urbanization. Application of old architecture Mixing historical structures with modern elements is a very interesting and practical alternative that should be better understood. It is an idea called sustainable design. It is not necessary to destroy a building to achieve a desirable architecture. Materials and buildings should be recycled and reused with new programs that bring new functions to unused spaces. Creating architecture that has to do with history through materials and programming is one thing, but trying to replicate architectural ideals from the past is dangerous. Strong architecture that represents power and authority is outdated. This is a testament to the history of modern architecture in the Balkans, but the scale and effect on the qualities of experience is detrimental to society. Prishtina Arena / Shopping center in Prishtina after the "New Born" sign is an example of what I mean. Represents a brutal architecture that is style and should be respected but should not be repeated. The modern buildings that are being built in Prishtina, like the new building of the Ministry of Education, are disappointing because they show that people here are stuck in the past. Ok, maybe not all people, just those who are designing new government buildings. Social Buildings in Pristina. According to research and visits to social facilities in Pristina, we have mainly noticed a similarity in terms of architecture applied in the respective facilities. Because of irregular urban planning, the construction of social facilities continued according to social and political interests. The use of a dry architecture and mix of materials does not give the facilities a look, identity, does not apply rigor and does not contain geometric rules. This makes Prishtina not contain contemporary architecture. In Prishtina, we can find elements that are emitted by the world architecture but that not applied in the right way! Technological development of the industry and the beginning of the use of new materials and advanced forms of construction enable local architects to apply their creativity in new projects and in the improvement of architectural mistakes from the past. This system of construction and application of architecture is worth mentioning in the facilities "Civil Registration Center" and the library "Hivzi Sylejmani", which mainly resemble each other, but differ only in the use of colors in their exterior. Ministry of Education The facilities of the Ministry of Education and the Academy of Arts was designed by the AB Group design office in 2005, invested by the MEST that is a new architecture in the center of Prishtina. Many architects who found them to be mixed-style architecture criticized the buildings. The architecture of the two buildings in question did not fit in at all with the surrounding architecture. Surrounded by objects which belong to modern architecture was not respected by the real situation. Recent constructions in Kosovo show that both the people and the architecture are still with consequences from the past. Maybe not all people but maybe only those who design these types of objects. One of the evidences of this finding are the facilities of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology

THE CASE OF KOSOVO AND METOHIA Just as everyone could sense that the end of the horrifying conflict of the early 1990s was coming to an end, another one was heating up in the Yugoslav kitchen. Kosovo is located in the southern part of former Yugoslavia, in an area that had been characterized by hostility and hatred practically ‘since the beginning of time.’ The reason for such mixed negative feelings came due to the confusion about who should have the final say in the governing of the Kosovo principality.

  • Historiography of the Morava Architecture: Controversial Points of the Study1
    742 Svetlana Mal’tseva УДК: 7.033.12; 7.033.2…7 ББК: 85.113 А43 DOI: 10.18688/aa188-9-74 Svetlana Mal’tseva Historiography of the Morava Architecture: Controversial Points of the Study1 The triumphant reign of Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović (1371–1389) and his heirs was the period of the last and unusually brilliant cultural-political heyday of the medieval Serbian State [36, pp. 1–11; 37]. After the loss of independence in 1459, it was seen as the “golden era” of the national history. In the 19th century, in the context of the liberation movement and the establishment of the modern state, the “revitalizing” of history and the idea of reviving Ser- bia’s former power of medieval epoch were essential elements in shaping national identity [43, pp. 70–71, 83–85, 93; 18; 1]. In that romantic environment, the works of historians, philologists, specialists, researchers, travelers, and enthusiastic amateurs laid the foundation for the study of the architecture of the Morava period, created the first descriptions of churches, found and published critical evidence [23; 66; 29; 45; 51; 34, pp. 154–157]. The more in-depth study of the monuments of Serbian medieval architecture starts in the mid-19th century along with more detailed descriptions, drawings, and engraved reproduc- tions. At that time, the first attempts to classify Serbian monuments and to consider them in the context of European medieval architecture were made by primarily foreign researchers who brought on that soil their own methods and concepts. Some of them rushed to search on Ser- bian territories located literally between the East and the West for the confirmation of their hypotheses on the classification of the Romanesque and Gothic art; others did not separate the Serbian monuments from the Byzantine ones.

    Foreign Voices No. 2 April 2006 How to Conduct Security Sector Reform in Kosovo in Order to Increase Internal and Regional Security Challenges and Opportunities The author of the Foreign Voices’ second issue, Lulzim Peci from the Kosovar Institute for Policy Research and Development, was a speaker at the Development and Peace Foundation’s Potsdam Spring Dialogues 2006 entitled “The Balkans at a Crossroads – Prospects for a Las- ting Peace” held on 16-18 March 2006. During the Dialogues, several participants - among them Former Foreign Minister of Serbia and Montenegro Goran Svilanovic – pointed at the importance of security sector reforms in the countries of the region. In the following, Mr Peci presents his view on how the process of reforming the security sector in Kosovo should be shaped, and which specific preconditions have to be taken into account to make this process as successful and peaceful as possible. Lulzim Peci Executive Director Kosovar Institute for Policy Research and Development, Prishtina ”Monitoring is not a sufficient capacity building instrument” Since June 1999 Kosovo is administered in accordance with the provisions of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 (UNSCR 1244), under the authority of Chapter VII of the UN Charter, with the objective to pacify a threat to international peace and security. Due to this character of the international presence in Kosovo, the UN has not been greatly involved in the process of genuine state-building. Short-term stability and security were given priority over democratic state-building. As a conse- quence, almost seven years after the establishment of UN administration in Kosovo, Foreign Voices 2/2006 - 2 - there is a serious local institutional capacity gap and duality in governance, with responsibilities split between local and international authorities.

  • Adaptive Reuse of Heritage Buildings As a Tool to Integrate Conflicting Societies: Kosova Example
    ADAPTIVE REUSE OF HERITAGE BUILDINGS AS A TOOL TO INTEGRATE CONFLICTING SOCIETIES: KOSOVA EXAMPLE A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF NATURAL AND APPLIED SCIENCES OF ÇANKAYA UNIVERSITY BY NORA AHMETI IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE AUGUST 2018 ABSTRACT ADAPTIVE REUSE OF HERITAGE BUILDINGS AS A TOOL TO INTEGRATE CONFLICTING SOCIETIES: KOSOVA EXAMPLE Ahmeti, Nora M. S. Interior Architecture Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çiğdem BERDI GOKHAN August 2018, 100 pages Adaptive reuse strategies have been used in several cases around the world in order to preserve heritage buildings and give them functionalities that are suitable for their cultural and historical values. There are many examples of reused structures including ones with spiritual backgrounds; such as churches. Main adaptive reuse approaches have been found in the literature; topological, technical, strategic and remodelling. In this research, the case of Saint Saviour church in Pristina, Kosova has been taken as an example. The shell and core structure of the church was built by the Serbian invading army during the Kosovan war within the property parameters of a university campus. In order to understand the current situation of the building from the society point of view, a questionnaire was conducted including twenty citizens; representing the Kosovan community in Pristina. The majority of the participants supported the idea of reusing the church structure for the promotion of peace, culture and society. Therefore, a design is proposed by the researcher for the interior and exterior spaces of the church, including a library, gallery, conference areas and an outdoor theatre and outdoor gallery.

  • REGIONAL HERITAGE PLAN EAST 2015 - 2018 Regional Heritage Plan East 2015 - 2018
    REGIONAL HERITAGE PLAN EAST 2015 - 2018 Regional Heritage Plan East 2015 - 2018 MAY 2015 Prishtinë/Priština This document was produced within the framework of the Joint Project EU/CoE “Support to the Promotion of Cultural Diversity in Kosovo”. The content does not necessarily represent the official position of the European Union and/or the Council of Europe. Foreword Communities around the globe are increasingly seeking ways to become more active in local governance and have a say on the management of their local resources. Democratic participation with an inclusive approach to all, ensuring the right to practice one’s own cul- ture, is essential to wellbeing of communities where multiple identities and diversity are considered important assets. Heritage, as one of the foundations of contemporary life, plays a crucial role in local eco- nomic development as responsible care and management of heritage resources could offer opportunities for communities. The European Union/Council of Europe Joint Project - Sup- port to the Promotion of Cultural Diversity in Kosovo* (PCDK) has been very innovative in engaging local communities with their heritage, while developing locally appropriate meth- odologies and programmes, based on agreed standards. With its integrated approach to heritage and diversity, this Heritage Plan brings together the distinguished elements of the communities in a regional framework. Besides the well- known heritage assets, it tries to bring the intangible aspects of contemporary community life and ties the diverse ways in which heritage plays a role. The participatory nature of the development of the Heritage Plan encouraged local actors to play an increasingly important role at an early stage and planning for its future.
