New Aesthetics of Bioclimatic Architecture

Abstract

The use of elements of bioclimatic architecture: photovoltaic solar panels, different protection from sun, double-skin facades, transparent walls, voluminous insulations, tinted glass, green facades, mirrors, as well as many other elements, creates a new aesthetics which calls for new approaches to design. The implementation of technological and other elements in the function of bioclimatic architecture in the following three designs: Eneko Center in Budva, "Ana" Hotel in Kanjiža and Office Building at the corner of the streets of King Milan and King Milutin in Belgrade, has been a subject of analyses of the use of new and conventional concepts. As the basis of bioclimatic architecture, the paper analyzes local climate from two essential aspects: climatic aspect and aspect of regional architecture as an exponent of accumulated experience of local community. Further, the stated examples are analyzed from the aspect of programming and functional aspect which were a staring point in design. Based on the drawn conclusions formed on the basis of previous analyses, techniques were chosen followed by their implementation which resulted in certain aesthetic expression at a macro level and in details. The analysis of these three buildings is followed by a comparative analysis of similar buildings and implemented techniques from the world practice. The conclusive considerations are aimed at predicting the future trends in the development of future new aesthetics of architecture by implementing elements for improving energy efficiency in building, as well as how they influence freedom of architectural creativity.
