Connection And Difference Between Urban Planning, Urban Design, And Urbanism, Blend Dema Oct 2021

Connection And Difference Between Urban Planning, Urban Design, And Urbanism, Blend Dema

UBT International Conference

Since the existence of humankind, planning was among the main issues to deal with; this is because planning helps organize activities and predict the future. So in this way, urban planning, urban design, and urbanism are traditionally seen as an expert discipline with little room for ‘soft’ values and concerns based on feelings rather than fact. At the same time the final product of the planning process, the built environment, is a habitat for a wide variety of people with equally diverse wants and needs. The question is, how does planning incorporate the needs, wants and visions of existing and …

Scientifically it is proven that anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) cause global warming. Global community, through agreements and protocols, aims that by the end of this century to keep the temperature rise below 2°C the average temperature of pre-industrial levels. Efforts are made to limit this rise to 1.5°C. In order to scale down the CO2 emissions countries collaborate under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to cope with climate impacts caused by anthropogenic GHG. In 2015 in Paris, 196 countries reached and signed the Paris Climate Agreement (PCA) to limit this temperature rise and set target of …

Religious Buildings - Mosques, Abetare Rexhepi, Binak Beqaj

UBT International Conference

Architecture, mastery and natyre create the organic symbiosis of meaning and spirit that in the essence of self-construction, harass themselves with shapes, which by themselves rise above them. In this way the object grows from the materials, the structure from the bases to the domes that lie between the strong ground and the opened sky, fllowing the flow of growth to continue this continuity with the high of the minarets that tend to touch the perfections and with strength of perfection interconnect the particular elements.

Chaotic Cities Of Kosovo And Their Urban And Spatial Planning, Venera Gonxha, Gresa Neziri

UBT International Conference

With rapidly increased urbanization rates, cities becoming overpopulated and urban inequalities being more and more visible, Kosovo has been facing an ongoing debate about Urban and Spatial Planning of its territory. Professionals of the field and many others are questioning the current state of cities in Kosovo, such as Prishtina, Prizren, Mitrovica, Peja, and more. There are common concerns in all municipalities regarding the urban chaos, traffic jams, continuous constructions of which most illegally build in agricultural land, endless appetites for constructing high buildings, unexpected appearance of newly invented neighborhoods, ongoing ignorance towards nature, cultural and natural heritage. All this …


Color Schemes In Landscape Design: Color Theory, Nexhat Balaj, Shqiprim Ahmeti Oct 2021

Color Schemes In Landscape Design: Color Theory, Nexhat Balaj, Shqiprim Ahmeti

UBT International Conference

Color has a basic appeal to humans and can be used by landscapers to evoke powerful emotional responses. Color may not be the most important consideration in an overall landscape, but it has a powerful visual effect and should be considered carefully for best results. Color theory in design is based on the color wheel, a standard circular illustration that shows the relationship between all the various colors of the spectrum. The Munsell color-order system is an American classifying system that is used as a standard for color notation in artistic, commercial, scientific and educational work. The Mansell system defines …


Natural Lighting Of Museums, Shkurte Dalipi Oct 2021

Natural Lighting Of Museums, Shkurte Dalipi

One of the basic conditions for a higher efficiency of museums is the lighting of their spaces. Proper and balanced lighting helps to focus attention, to create an aesthetic connection between the observer and the work of art as well as to realize a modification to emphasize a conceptual idea. To achieve the maximum lighting needed to highlight exhibits, museums use natural light. They often also consume a lot of electricity when using artificial light. To reduce electricity consumption and to ensure that museum objects are authentically exhibited, most museums have begun to integrate as many natural light solutions as …

T

he general goal of earthquake engineering is identification and mitigation of seismic hazards. Seismic microzonation is the generic name for subdividing a region into individual areas having different potentials for hazardous earthquake effects, defining their specific seismic behavior in order to facilitate engineering design and land-use planning.

In seismic regions, the aspect of seismic risk must be taken into account in the first stages of projects, thus enabling the realization of a structural and quality system, within acceptable costs, satisfying the basic design requirement of a building, based on the seismic parameters of the ground.

Rekonceptualizmi I Hapësirës Urbane Përmes Qasjes Minimalistike, Dardan Paloka

Theses and Dissertations

Zonat urbane janë një grup i ndërtimeve dhe hapësirave me aktiviteteve të ndryshme. Hapesirat e zbrazëta ndërmjet strukturave të këtyre ndërtimeve, shpesh shihen si efekt anësor, dhe mbesin te neglizhuara. Ky fenomen i gabur shfaqet si shkak i planifikimit të gabuar, menaxhimit të dobët të hapësirës ndërtimore, dhe koordinimit të dobët të ndërtesave me njëra tjetrën. Për shkak të mungesës së funksionit në këto hapësira, qytetarët tentojnë t'i përceptojnë si hapësira të vdekura dhe të pamundshme për tu shfrytëzuar¹. Duke marrur parasysh kërkesat e mëdha në qytet për hapësira të lira ku mund të mundësohet banimi, humbja e …

Banim Individual – Vilë Banimi, Mergim Kukaj

Theses and Dissertations

Në kuptimin etimologjik fjala Vilë rrjedh nga Italishtja villa, respektivisht nga Latinishtja villae = shtëpi rurale/ fshati e përcjelle me ndërtesa ferme. Kuptimi, definimi dhe konceptimi i Vilës si objekt dhe entitet gjeografik është zhvilluar dhe ka ndryshuar në kohë dhe hapësirë: - (veçanërisht në Evropën kontinentale) Një rezidencë/ shtëpi fshati e madhe dhe luksoze - Një shtëpi e madhe fshati e epokës Romake, që posedon pronë dhe përbëhet nga ferma dhe ndërtesat e banimit të kompozuara rreth një oborri të brendshëm.

Qysh nga antikiteti Vila ka siguruar një “arratisje” përfundimtare nga stresi i punës dhe ritmi tensionuar i jetës …

Projektimi I Ndërteses Me Funksione Të Përziera, Guri Berisha Jul 2021

Projektimi I Ndërteses Me Funksione Të Përziera, Guri Berisha

Theses and Dissertations

Ndërtesat me përdorim të përzier janë objekte me më shumë se një përdorim. Struktura e një ndërtese tipike me përdorim të përzier lejon hyrjen e të paktën dy grupeve të përdoruesve, ku të dy grupet përfitojnë prej pranisë së tjetrit. Mbrojtësit e politikës kompakte të qytetit argumentojnë se ndertesat me përdorim te përzier janë të nevojshme për arritjen e kompaktësisë. Kërkesa për dendësi në qytetet në zhvillim po rritet pasi çmimet e tokës po rriten dhe pothuajse nuk ka parcela të lira në qendra. Edhe pse nuk ka masa universale për etazhitet të ulët, të mesëm dhe te lartë, une …

Tema e këtij punimi të diplomës mbështetet në krijimin e një hapësire të mirëfilltë turistike në Grykën e Deçanit, duke synuar shtimin e vlerave të kësaj zone.

Meqë ndërtime të tilla mungojnë në këtë hapësirë me potencial të madh,trajtimi I kësaj teme ka qenë sa sfidues aq edhe interesant, por mbi të gjitha shumë I nevojshëm.

Në kuadër të projektit përfshihet një hotel me asetet e nevojshme për të siguruar pushim dhe rekreim, e cila mundëson që bukuritë malore të përjetohen direkt nga “zemra” e tij.

Projekti është dizajnuar në atë mënyrë që të ketë sa më pak ndërhyrje në …

“Stacioni I Trenit”- Prizren, Qëndresë Hoxha

Theses and Dissertations

Udhëtimi është rritur dhe mënyra ë udhëtimit ka ndryshuar. Cilësia e përgjithshmë e një stacioni si një mjedis i vizituar, pikë transferimi dhe një pjesë integrale e qytetit është thelbësore në tërheqjen e më shumë udhëtarëve të transportit publik.

Njëri nga problemet kryesore në Kosovë, është transporti, e në veçanëri transporti hekurudhor. Mungesa e transportit hekurudhor në Kosovë me bëri që të perzgjedh këtë temë mbi gjith të tjerat.

Qëllimi i këtij punimi është krijimi i një stacioni të qëndrueshëm, nga ku Kosova do të ketë lidhje kombetare dhe ndërkombetare.

Kryqëzimi i rrugës kryesore me linjat hekurudhore bëri që hekurudhat …
