Younger children are a vulnerable population, so the IEQ is extremely important for their well-being and growth. Therefore, it is essential to investigate and evaluate indoor conditions of kindergartens. This study presents the results of the IEQ assessment based on objective evaluation by monitoring crucial indoor conditions in the public kindergarten located within a residential area in the city of Maribor, Slovenia. The research includes in-situ measurements in the kindergarten classroom during the heating season. Selected comfort parameters were simultaneously measured and in-vestigated: the concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), air temperature and air humidity. Measurements were taken continuously during a period of twelve days. Besides monitoring, other analyses were conducted: the building thermal envelope, building construction, building site and environment, heating, occupant`s behaviour, etc. The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyse elements of IEQ in the chosen kindergarten. Moreover, the aim is to investigate whether selected comfort parameters fulfil the requirements of regulations and standards for the kindergartens. The goal is also to analyse the occupant’s be-haviour and to study its relation to the IEQ pattern during the day and among working and non-work-ing days. The results clearly indicate periods of high air temperature, dry air and high level of CO 2 , therefore measures for improvement of IEQ elements are discussed. to the and The comparison of the parameters with the values of the the the range the comparison of the measured parameters with of","PeriodicalId":337051,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Conference on Places and Technologies","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115929969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They represent dynamic environments that are subject to constant changes, which in terms of physical manifestation take place in the vertical and horizontal directions. This is especially related to the desire to live in cities, which has dominated the population throughout the history of civilization. The development of cities is generally proportional to the flow of new residents looking for a place to live in a city. The process of urban growth in both vertical and horizontal directions is considered to be accompanied by a constant increase in urban population. This trend that cities will have in the future is indicated by worldwide predictions. Population growth in cities can happen in two ways, the first being natural growth and the second is migration of people. Migration can be further classified and therefore split into two groups: internal rural-to-urban migration and international urban migration. The immigrants bring with them different cultural characteristics (clothing, customs and behavior), habits and beliefs in the cities in which they will continue to live and strive to maintain them. Also, the characteristics of their architectural heritage tend to incorporate in these areas. Migrations can lead to anthropological modifications, introduce new cultural rules, and change the shape of the city with the introduction of new patterns of cultural and building heritage. However, migrants need to adapt to new conditions and rules of life and business, changing the way of daily activities and diet, which can lead to psychological and health problems.

The paper is the result of analyzing and interpreting the image The Cultivation of Ideas, by René Magritte, through a methodology of decomposition. As such, it has a clear connection with artistic creativity and it is the subjective grasp of the creative process embodied in the metaphor of cultivation that unfolds daily around us, through the micro-macro world. The research is a visual and linguistic demonstration of thought processes. It functions as a guideline, not by any means as a repeating pattern. It is based on short instructions, and opens the possibility for any kind of user integration.

Frequent floods and droughts made most of these areas non-functional, abandoned and devastated for the better part of the year. Majority of the spaces surrounding small urban streams currently are not capable to adapt and transform in accordance with new ecological challenges. In order to create public spaces that live year-round, it is necessary to design them according to principles of resilient design. The socio-ecological resilience, an interdisciplinary concept based in ecology, offers a conceptual ground for the principles for creation of resilient spaces, i.e. spaces that are resilient to the changes and utilize natural disturbances for the improvement of space. According to this concept, one of the most important qualities of resilience is preservation of identity in times of natural disturbances and recovery. In this paper we will analyse the question of identity of open public spaces surrounding small urban streams in the context of resilience, based on the case of watercourses in Belgrade. The goal of this research is to identify the elements that shape the identity of open public spaces and to determine their role in the future revitalization of these spaces, in order to realize year-round uniform quality of space.","PeriodicalId":337051,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Conference on Places and Technologies","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125534088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notions evoked by such ruins confine strong sensations of longing for a non-discernible object of loss. Taking that into consideration, this paper takes everything a step further – it dematerialises the formal language of manorial architecture and challenges the intuitive melancholic sensations of the visitor. It eliminates the habitually known architectural elements of a manor and calls for a rewriting of space and atmosphere. In the described research, water is the key element, as all of its states are familiar to humans and thus serve as an effective stimulation of the senses. The most sublime state of water is vapour. It is manifested here as a visible exhalation of the ruin, a mist that disintegrates architecture, dematerialises space and annihilates gravity. Vapour makes the architecture insubstantial and human emotions transitory. It provides strange, senseless and fantastic notions which rewrite architectural design, offering new methods for applying water in landscape architecture, heritage and tourism. The aim of this paper is to present the aquatic phenomenon in architecture: the structure of space by water as a primordial element. The case study for this research was a competition project for Château de la Mothe Chandeniers in France. Designed according to doctoral research on relations between water and architecture, and offering a responsible design approach and a unique methodology, the project deliberates upon those two commonly known notions, while adding the third – Aquatectural common ruin as innovative method of revitalization of built heritage.","PeriodicalId":337051,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Conference on Places and Technologies","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133881346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
