The effects of traditional materials on modern architecture in Serbia

Abstract

The European and world trends have returned to wood, brick and stone - the traditional building materials for architectural structures. The goal to be achieved is not seen in meeting the visual, artistic and aesthetic requirements and rediscovering Nature and history, as a perpetual inspiration, but in creating the harmony with the trends of contemporary sustainable development and raising environmental awareness. The use of these authentic materials means the return to Nature and tradition as well as the realization of modern demands of economic and energy justification while preserving natural environment. The national architecture and Serbian tradition provide a real diversity of the Serbian traditional architecture motives, their interpretation and effects on the modern architecture. Following the modern influence of the world architecture and striving for harmonious rhythm with the contemporary trends of sustainable development and connection with Nature and tradition, some modern technical and technology solutions are applied to design and realization of certain architectural structures in Serbia.

Evropski i svetski trend ponovne primene drveta, opeke i kamena kao tradicionalnih materijala za gradnju arhitektonskih objekata nema za cilj ispunjenje oblikovnih, likovnih i estetskih zahteva i ponovno otkrivanje prirode i prošlosti kao večite inspiracije, već se ovim želi postići uklapanje u savremene tokove održivog razvoja i povećati ekološka svest. Primena ovih izvornih materijala, predstavlja povratak prirodi i tradiciji uz ispunjenje savremenih zahteva ekonomske i energetske opravdanosti i očuvanjem veze sa prirodom i okruženjem. Sledeći iskustva narodnog neimarstva i srpske tradicije, razvija se izuzetno veliki broj mogućnosti za interpretaciju motiva tradicionalne arhitekture Srbije na savremena arhitektonska dela. Prateći savremene uticaje svetske arhitekture, uz težnju za ekološkim projektovanjem i primenom tradicionalnih materijala, kao i uklapanje u savremene trendove održivog razvoja i veze sa prirodom i tradicijom, dolazi do primene savremenih tehničkih i tehnoloških rešenja pri projektovanju i realizaciji pojedinih arhitektonskih objekata u Srbiji.
