An Evaluation On Applications Of Sustainable Approaches In Condominiums, Nida Yildirim
UBT International Conference
Nowadays, as the result of the damage caused by building sector to the environment and with increased depletion of natural resources, sustainable architecture has required to be an integral part of the construction industry. To prevent unhealthy construction and to increase the number of sustainable or green buildings in terms of the environment, there were established several sustainable building rating systems. These sustainable building rating systems, while maintaining human health and comfort, also try to decrease the damage of the environment to a lower level. However, rating systems have specific criteria depending on their countries climate and culture. Therefore, these …

Risk Assessment In The Implementation Of Construction Projects In Developing Countries, Bashkim Alili
UBT International Conference
The construction industry plays an important role in the economic growth and the socio-economic development, which are particularly important for the developing countries. The current general situation in the construction of buildings in a country like ours is that the product of a construction company is mainly characterized by the poor quality of work, exceeding the costs and the time for realization. These characteristics exist as many risks are taken into account very little in the project planning and realization or not taken into account at all. Therefore, it is necessary that the managing of the risks for improvement of …
Unesco World Heritage And Kosovo Towards A Tentative List For Kosovo, Caroline Jaeger Klein
Unesco World Heritage And Kosovo Towards A Tentative List For Kosovo, Caroline Jaeger Klein
UBT International Conference
In 2015, Kosovo tried to join UNESCO and failed by three quotes. Is Kosovo ready for its UNESCO membership? At least for its national architectural heritage, this question is to answer with no. The intensively discussed issue of the medieval monuments of Kosovo inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage by Serbia and Montenegro before the declaration of independency in 2008 and their further management through Kosovo is just one aspect. More troubling is that the rather young state not yet could establish sufficient structures to gain a systematic inventory of its monuments, sites and historic ensembles, nor to extract a tentative …

The Concept Of “Green Roofs” In Tirana, Eduina Zekaj, Franceska Delia
UBT International Conference
The term “green roof” is a pretty old concept in the history of Architecture, and it begins since prehistoric times with attempts of our ancestors to cover up their housing with greenery. But this term is not well known in Tirana and it is just starting to apply in the new era of projects.
The first attempts started in 2010, but there are very few existing projects that fulfill the construction details that a real green roof needs. First of all, we have to understand why we do need green roofs in Tirana. According to “The Guardian”, Tirana was called …

UBT International Conference
In the construction industry, where in recent times every detail is looked over and planned with the most scientific and technological responsibility, hospitals represent the most investigated and scrutinized facilities.
Related closely with institutional and medical practices, hospital design has undergone many reconfigurations. The second half of the past century experienced and produced many hospital models (L, H, T, K type, Patients Tower, Block Plan, etc.), all with the same denominator – too big, isolated and highly complex structures, strictly opposed to nature, oriented towards medical technology rather than patient’s well-being.
By the end of the twentieth century, a group …
