AB  - The term Design Intelligence System, Methodology, and Strategy indicates a new digital modality of architecturally constructed and visualized diagrammatic research framework and environment. Aiming to facilitate, articulate, and support any kind of documentary, scientific, and creative investigative practice with large amounts of data in a formalized way, DI system, methodology, and strategy have been proposed for consideration to be included into the fields of Design Research and Design Science. It has been argued that they can offer a specific response to various research requirements and make a contribution at the level of methodology, instrumentation, and research strategy. Beside the control and guidance of data-operations in line with research subjects and questions, the system preserves design research procedures and dynamics of problem-solving and decision-making as formal inscription, or information-architecture, enabling one to visualize maps and lines of inference and connectivity between different information and arguments, and to acknowledge main issues in delivering a proof and carrying out valid reasoning. Regarding the fact that, alongside extensive use as a means of artistic exploration, this kind of digital framework, formalization, and system has not been substantially questioned as a means of reliable and functional scientific research in the targeted Design Research and Design Science fields, the paper will address these issues through comments on the system’s attributes, arguments, relevance, and contributions, and analysis of the performed test-studies, their development stages, and the system’s determinants, which have led to its final eleven criteria-form. The field of Diagrammatics has been proposed as a broader context due to the Design Intelligence System’s central diagrammatic properties and modes of operation.

AB  - This paper examines the potential resources in the educational process and research methodology in the field of architectural and urban design, by positioning of the Blog as a formal framework of content and representation of contemporary architecture and as a tool that can contribute to the growing complexity of the knowledge base in the field of architecture.
In this context, this paper examines two theses. The first one suggests that, used properly, a Blog can become a useful tool in the form and content of the research. This is based on the assumption that reflection of the architectural design process may have a significant influence on the development of architectural education, particularly in the area of information exchange and raising of the critical awareness about the problems of the specific topics in spatial, contextual and formal sense. The second theses encourages the development of blogs as a tool that may extend the interpretive potential of the representation in the field of architectural and urban design, by displacing it from the real to the virtual space and by giving it a value of the driver and initiator of possible changes.
The paper also examines the ways in which the blog can establish, enhance, deepen or direct the already known and reliable methodological and conceptual basis of architectural education on the one side and representation of architectural and urban design, on the other side.

AB  - This article reports methods and results of Master students' Diploma Thesis and Design research on representing identity through architecture. A group of 12 students have had the task to examine potentials and limitations of positioning and conceptualizing foreign Embassy in the context of Belgrade. Students were expected to rethink architectural representation and to find new possibilities for networking global aspects of identity and local aspects of context, thus creating architecture that emphasizes and promotes culture through its spatial and programmatic framework. Article concludes that architecture can become a resource for understanding cultural identity. It does not stop only at the physical, but affects the process of urban living, negotiating between global and local dimension of urban living, making a new culturally responsive urban landscape.
AB  - Ovaj članak se, kroz metode i rezultate rada u okviru Master diplomskog projekta na Arhitektonskom fakultetu Univerziteta u Beogradu, bavi istraživanjem kulturnog identiteta kroz arhitekturu. Grupa od 12 studenata imala je zadatak da ispita potencijale i ograničenja pozicioniranja i konceptualizacije jedne, konkretne, ambasade u prostornom i društvenom kontekstu Beograda. Od studenata se očekivalo da preispitaju mogućnosti prezentacije kroz arhitektonski jezik i da pronađu nove mogućnosti za umrežavanje globalnim aspektima identiteta i lokalni aspekti konteksta, stvarajući arhitekturu koja ističe i promoviše kulturu kroz prostorni i programski okvir. Članak zaključuje da arhitektura može postati izvor za razumevanje kulturnog identiteta. Ona se ne zaustavlja samo na fizičkoj strukturi, već utiče na proces urbanog života, balansirajući između globalne i lokalne dimenzije urbanog života, oblikujući novi kulturni pejzaž grada.
