Abstract

Using elements derived from what marks a place as singular is key to contemporary placemaking, understood as a primary objective of the theory of critical regionalism. The need to create humane, remarkably local architecture and to minimize the effects of universal and international clich?s, in order to avoid the danger of making architecture locally unfounded and to invest it with meaning and a sense of place, certainly poses a challenge for every modern architect. This paper deals with the issue of contextuality and approach to the character and urban matrix of a place, as characterizing the buildings in the Western Serbian city of Uzice designed by architect Mihajlo Timotijevic. A critical approach is adopted in analyzing Timotijevic?s architectural plans and buildings constructed in Uzice, in the attempt to show that the architect takes a genuine interest in the local topography and that which is called placemaking. The main goal of this research is to underline the fact that Timotijevic?s ability to perceive and read the messages sent by a place, materialize its distinctivness and easily incorporate a "sense of place" in architectural spaces has given the city of Uzice a new image, by integrating the spirit of the regional with that of the contemporary. The research results are particularly pertinent to contemporary architectural theory and practice, both in Serbia and the region, as a comprehensive, multifaceted example of a good practice of critical regionalism.
场所营造:Mihailo Timotijevic建筑中的关键地域主义元素
使用源自单一地点的元素是当代场所创造的关键,这被理解为批判性地域主义理论的主要目标。是否有必要创造人性化的、引人注目的地方建筑,并尽量减少普遍和国际陈词滥调的影响?S,为了避免使建筑在当地毫无根据的危险,并赋予其意义和地方感,当然对每个现代建筑师都提出了挑战。本文讨论了一个地方的环境和特征以及城市矩阵的方法,作为塞尔维亚西部城市乌济塞的建筑特征,由建筑师Mihajlo Timotijevic设计。在分析Timotijevic?在uice建造的建筑计划和建筑物,试图表明建筑师对当地地形和所谓的场所创造真正感兴趣。这项研究的主要目的是强调Timotijevic?建筑师能够感知和阅读一个地方所传递的信息,将其独特性具体化,并轻松地将“地方感”融入建筑空间,通过将地区精神与当代精神相结合,为乌采斯市带来了新的形象。研究结果与塞尔维亚和该地区的当代建筑理论和实践特别相关,是一个全面、多方面的批判性地域主义良好实践的例子。
