W1 : Andreas Nassos, Landscape Architect | Vitaverde, Greece & Serbia
THEME:
WORKSHOP FULLY BOOKED - DO NOT CHOOSE

Vitaverde consists of a team of flexible people, constantly looking for challenges to stretch its boundaries, offering products and services in the field of greenery. The company has experience in construction of vertical gardens, roof gardens, interior gardens and gardens at different private and professional spaces. Besides the possibility to design, Vitaverde also realises the projects and provides customers with the maintenance needed. The materials that are used in construction, but also in maintenance, are chosen to have minimal impact on the natural environment. The team does not discriminate between size of project or space, but looks for projects out of the ordinary that inspire them to be creative. The goal of Vitaverde is to engage many different aspects through design, use of plants, products and solutions that fit harmonically to the surrounding environment. www.vitaverde.gr

Workshop location: The workshop will be located at the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, Resavska 13-15, Belgrade map | website
Workshop brief: The go al of this workshop is to add urban green to the existing buildings of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce following the values of sustainability, biodiversity and social interaction. We will strive to provide a solution for the space that will have an impact on the building, the people who use it every day and the wider area. We hope to prove that buildings for public use can play a significant role in the attempt to make modern cities more viable and in improving the quality of life of the citizens. Keeping in mind the nature of the workshop, we also want the design to be feasible, so it can be realized in the near future. We will be guided by the possible use of green in all surfaces in a build environment, interesting implemented projects worldwide, the history and style of the building itself, the character and history of the city of Belgrade and of course the Balkan spirit.

Workshop location: Primary School Drinka Pavlovic, Kosovska 19, Belgrade.
Workshop brief:
"Garden to Go" is an event scenography, a fragment of otherness, as a catalizator for social interaction in public urban space. The accent is on temporality and mobility. The space is reactivated, but is not finished in terms of the product. It develops through usage (growing and nurturing). It investigates the unexploited possibilities for integrating an element of garden into urban milieu. Participants will be inspired by the work of various international organizations and designers working with similar goals, and will see diverse short films on the garden to go topic. Goal of the workshop is to shape environmentally aware public spaces for social interaction, using principles and elements of "garden". Awakening individuals, local communities and wider public on the importance to appreciate, grow and nurture, maintain and build better, healthier and more socially accessible space (environmental, ethic and esthetic dimension). Principles usually applied on buildings are scaled on anthropological dimension where individuals interact with space through the actual garden object.

Workshop location: Usce Shopping center Bulevar Mihaila Pupina 6, shop no 1.84 on 1st floor map | website
Workshop brief: Orlos, being known for their work on experimental, holistic and virtual architecture, will mentor workshop for the best and creative solution of Eco-urban systems. The current discussion about sustainability suggests that the modern society is a kind of ballast for the planet and detrimental to the environment. Therefore, we need to provide proactive solutions in search for future developments, which are not only limiting and restrictive to the current life-style in order to achieve the sustainability and the human-nature equilibrium. Main design element is a high-performance envelope, which will be elaborated as an intelligent green surface, gaining solar energy (photovoltaic), daylight, natural ventilation, providing shadow, improving micro-climate and be the buffer zone for different heat zones. Result of the workshop would be to propose systems with absolute efficiency, that allows implementation of a meaningful prototype for an urban eco-system. The interest here is the creation of heterogeneity, a climatically dynamic activation of natural forces. The whole performance of the buildings should be in balance.
The following parameters will be considered with equal importance: ecological material, aesthetic - art of construction, form, programmatic functions, life cycle, renewable energy, usage, interactivity, sensitivity and networks.

Workshop brief: Centre Tesla workshop team will use the guiding principles of Tesla's Doctrine and Nikola Tesla quotes regarding true sustainability and development for the inspiration before and during the workshop. The goal of the workshop will be to gain a full conceptual design of a new family living house predominantly meant for rural area that will be completely self-sufficient and is going to be constructed only with natural and traditional materials, natural waste, and secondary, recyclable materials. Also the specific climate in which it is located should be taken under account. Innovative solutions which could be applied in the construction of the house would provide most of the energy needs from renewable sources. Principles of Permaculture should be taken into account. This will result in a universal embodiment of sustainable construction:
- ecological
- sustainable
- energy efficient
- completely secure

ECODESIGNER: practical ways of green architecture.
Sustainable development in architecture, space remodeling through Form, Function and building construction in contemporary urban surrounding. The goal of the workshop is to remodel urban space with energy efficiency guidelines while improving human aspects of space usage and long term exploitation.The workshop will be done in two parts:
1. Form remodeling with energy efficiency guidelines through BIM (building information model) space shapes. Literature with British and German standards available. Software in use: ArchiCAD BIM
2. Building Materials and energy analysis through Energy Evaluation functionality based on entirely new technology (e.g. zone-boundary based building model geometry analysis, analytic weather data input option, etc.). This technology allows architects to perform reliable dynamic energy evaluation of their BIM model within ArchiCAD, relying on BIM geometry analysis and accurate hour-by-hour online weather data of the building's location. Software in use: ECODESIGNER
Choosing best solution for building remodeling will be held on last day of workshop with evaluation of solutions.
