It is also the main topic of International conference which will be held from 14-17th November 2019. in Belgrade, venue University of Belgrade – Faculty of Architecture, gathering academics, professionals and practitioners in the fields of Architecture, Urbanism, Technology, Design, Geo-informatics. This year the special focus in on using contemporary instruments and tools e in the process of sending messages in between Balkan differences focusing on enabling understanding and common space for creating new Balkan identity. It was supported by ISOCARP, Ministry od education, science and technological development, MapSoft.
Therefore, it explores past, present and future codes of building, designing, urban regulation, morphology, urban planning, used instruments and tools towards new paradigm of green: more transparent, efficient, ecologically friendly societies urbanism, architecture and design. Ecology is one of the main issue of global society, so the focus is on using contemporary tools in the fields to meet global standards and traditional diversity exploring / decoding the past and present traditions to code them into coherent future actions among Balkan and the region. The conference gathered more than 30 participants from Serbia and abroad, and published International Conference Proceedings: DECODING BALKAN: ARCHITECTURE, URBANISM, PLANNING, ed. T,Mrdjenovic.
