Danish social housing estates built in the 1960s and1970s are a significant part of the cultural legacy of the Welfare State. Often the prefabricated, multi-family 'etageboliger' apartments are not considered architecturally valuable or worthy of preservation, but this paper adds to the emerging sentiment that they are an important part of the Dani...

This article argues that smart grid technologies enable policy-makers and communities to successfully manage enduring energy policy concerns. It defines what ‘smart’ energy technologies, grids and policies mean, and then evaluates how the smart grid can enable policy-makers to respond to an emerging energy ‘trilemma’. Drawing on case studies from t...

... Prva večja prenova je potekala v devetdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja, zadnji in najbolj obsežen val prenove pa je potekal med letoma 2008 in 2013, s poudarkom na izboljšanju energijske učinkovitosti, trajnostnosti in socialne kohezije. Zadnji val prenove je bil izveden v okviru programa nacionalnega gradbenega sklada, ki upravlja skupni kapital in državne subvencije za območja neprofitnih socialnih stanovanj ter uporablja raznovrstne strategije, kot so recikliranje stavb, sanacija ter energetska in socialna prenova (Peters, 2016). Primer dobre prakse na področju celostne mestne prenove v Litvi je preobrazba mestnih četrti Rumpiške in Kaunas v Klajpedi, ki sta se spopadali s težavami, kot so slab sloves modernističnih stanovanjskih blokov, neskladnost stavb s standardi energijske učinkovitosti in dostopnosti, nerabljeni javni prostori in odprte površine, močno obremenjene s prometom (Leitanaite, 2022). ...

... Kritička i kreativna reinterpretacija modernističke ostavštine također može igrati ključnu ulogu u transformaciji percepcije ovih objekata kao vrijednog nasljeđa na kojem je moguće ostvariti imprint današnjeg vremena kroz redizajn, retrofit i rehabilitaciju (Peters, 2016). Akademska zajednica može putem organizacija izložbi, radionica, te objavljivanje studija slučaja može pomoći u širenju svijesti o historijskom značaju modernističke arhitekture i potrebe za njenim očuvanjem.tržište ...
... Critical and creative reinterpretation of the modernist legacy can also play a key role in transforming the perception of these objects as valuable heritage on which it is possible to realize the imprint of today's times through redesign, retrofit, and rehabilitation (Peters, 2016). Through the organization of exhibitions, workshops, and the publication of case studies, the academic community can help spread awareness about the historical significance of modernist architecture and the need for its preservation. ...
NEW! Novo Sarajevo: New Urban Protocol
The change in the socio-economic system has led to a imbalance between the public and private
spheres, resulting in neglect, decay, and private appropriation of public spaces in many residential
neighborhoods of the city of Sarajevo from the period of socialist modernism. The book “NEW!
Novo Sarajevo: NEW Urban Protocol” proposes an alternative methodological approach by
introducing a new urban protocol in the domain of public space planning strategy, as a critical
response to the discrepancy between the existing top-down institutional planning approach
and the technological and social dynamics of the digital age, as well as the real needs of the
local community. The residential neighborhoods of the Novo Sarajevo municipality are seen in
this book as urban laboratories for the exploration and detection of public space problems and
the quality of urban life, aiming for their comprehensive and multi-layered urban regeneration.
In response to identified problems, the book elaborates on the steps of the methodological
process: mapping and networking of data in the GIS database of public spaces, co-creation
or collaborative approach involving cooperation of all stakeholders in the processes of public
space planning, digitalization of analytical data, use of innovative visualization tools for testing
scenarios of urban transformation in a participatory process. The new urban protocol integrates
guidelines for research and design methodological frameworks, and connects urban planning
and design of public spaces for recreation and leisure, architectural design of commercial,
cultural and tourist facilities, while empowering social infrastructure, spaces, and tools for citizen
participation.

A separate, more recent section of the literature discusses the energy retrofitting of houses and urban complexes from the 1960s and 1970s (Coldham 2013), also covering social, cultural, and political matters (Peters 2016), the funding and modernisation of social housing, and the role of the state, local governments, and residents in this process (Kristensen 2002). Some publications identify the originality and artistic value of experimental designs from the 1960s and 1970s (Barzilay et al. 2018). ...
Single-family courtyard houses, with spaces oriented towards an internal, private patio, became popular in Western Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. In Poland, courtyard developments are infrequent and were mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s. This study aims to improve our understanding of their low popularity. Poles seem to prefer traditional housing solutions, clearly favouring detached houses, considered to provide the most comfort, privacy, and safety. More than half of the country’s population lives in such buildings, considerably more than the European average. This study suggests that planning conditions along with land registry patterns are fundamental barriers to the development of courtyard housing. In practice, they eliminate the potential for building new complexes of this type. In a broader context, planning conditions reinforce the dominance of traditional, less dense forms of single-family development, primarily those of detached development. This paper posits that there are no favourable conditions for new courtyard housing developments if they are to be based on market fundamentals. Courtyard housing could, however, as in the period of its inception and popularity, become part of an extensive housing experiment, for instance, in national or regional pilot projects, and contribute to animation and progression in housing development.
