1. The influence of façade colour, glazing area and geometric configuration of urban canyon on the spectral characteristics of daylightNataša Šprah, Jaka Potočnik, Mitja Košir, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Since the non-image-forming (NIF) effect of daylight on the human circadian system is widely accepted, adequate exposure to daylight is now considered one of the elements of a healthy life. In urban environment, one of the prerequisites for adequately lit indoor spaces is the amount and quality of daylight reaching the window, which is highly dependent on the characteristics of the urban environment. The aim of the study was to determine whether there are correlations between urban density (i.e., distance between buildings, building height), façade surface characteristics (i.e., colour and Window-to-Wall Ratios – WWR) and NIF potential of daylight. The study was conducted on a parametric geometric model of a street canyon covering a wide range of characteristics. Simulation results were interpreted using the Relative Melanopic Efficacy coefficient and Sky View Factor. The results indicate that the colour of the opposite façade can substantially impact the resulting NIF potential, especially for orange-red or blue hues. The results of the study show that this influence for building heights between 3 and 8 storeys becomes significant when the width of the urban canyon is less than 25 m and becomes substantially smaller at WWRs above 30 %.

2. Opera house Podgorica : master thesisNemanja Mitrović, 2021, master's thesis Abstract: The aim of this master's thesis is to explore the concept of the opera house as a central place of culture, spectacle and art. The construction of this facility would contribute to the cultural development of the city, bring rich cultural and artistic programs and put Podgorica on the map of world capitals. The facility must follow the latest construction standards and innovations in materialization and fit well into the existing environment and terrain morphology. The goal is a compact and multifunctional structure that will gather a large number of visitors and become one of the modern symbols of the city, which as a new reference point completes the city core with its form and aesthetics. The new structure should respect the existing urban plan, taking into account the potential expansion of content and programs, but also to start the urban revitalization of the Moraca riverbed and its banks.

3. New Architecture of The Berane AirportIvan Pićurić, 2018, master's thesis Abstract: This Master's Thesis explores the concept of the New Berane Airport that will serve as a turning point for improving the winter tourism offer of Montenegro and the region, thereby attracting a greater number of tourists to the country. The new facility must follow the guidelines of modern architecture, modern design, and the surrounding mountain landscapes, which represents an additional challenge in terms of construction and design. The main aim is to create an efficient structure, a new regional aviation centre, with well-designed transport links that will meet the needs of a large number of passengers and visitors from the region and the rest of the world. The visual aspects of the structure must be in line with the dominant type of architecture in the municipality of Berane, which is why the use of local materials and traditional elements has been foreseen. The new urban plan will follow the existing plan, although its capacity and content will be expanded in accordance with the former plans for the airport. In the planning phase, appropriate use of airport and traffic manuals is essential.
Keywords: airport, architecture, concrete, shell roof, glass facade, tourism, transport, parametric design, regional centre, Berane
