A Synthesis Of Architectural Form For Three Different Structural Systems, Hektor Cullufi, Altin Bidaj, Ervin Paci, Irakli Premti, Drilona Disha Nov 2014

A Synthesis Of Architectural Form For Three Different Structural Systems, Hektor Cullufi, Altin Bidaj, Ervin Paci, Irakli Premti, Drilona Disha

UBT International Conference

Architectural form is often used but less frequently defined. Architectural form is an inclusive term that refers primarily to a building’s external outline or shape, and to a lesser degree references its internal organization and unifying principles. Shape encompasses various visual and relational properties; namely size, color and texture, position, orientation and visual inertia. Form is therefore generally and primarily understood as the shape or three dimensional massing, but also encompasses additional architectural aspects including structural configuration and form, in so far as they may organize and unify an architectural design.

Ottoman - Bizantin City Case, Tirana - Birth Of A City, Ogri Mane, Armand Vokshi

UBT International Conference

The expansion of Islam did multiply the number of cities to the edge of the desert, transforming the nomadic tribes in urban populations. For a good Muslim cannot be a better practice of the religion if not in the city, in the "Friday Mosque" for common prayers. Life in the city is considered a condition of moral perfection and been fixed in one place, giving up the nomadic life. The urban culture in Islam is formed and developed through a series of contributions, derived from the traditions of construction and urban structures of the pre-Islamic city. Arabia and the countries …

Theses and Dissertations

Kjo temë ka për qëllim hulumtimin rreth jetës dhe veprës së Mies van der Rohe përgjatë periudhës Europiane të karrierës së tij. Duke u fokusuar më shumë në kontributin e Mies-it në arkitekturën moderne si dhe ndërlidhjen e tij me arkitektët e tjerë të të njëjtës periudhë që lanë gjurmët e tyre përjetësisht në historinë e arkitekturës.

Muzika Dhe Arkitektura: Iannis Xenakis Dhe Pavijoni Philips, 1958, Anyla Berisha

Theses and Dissertations

Në bisedat e inçizuara me kompozitorin David Rosenboom (1947) në Kolegjin Mills të Oaklandës, Kaliforni, inxhinieri Iannis Xennakis (1922-2001) shpjegon se gjatë studimit të të vëmendjes muzikore, një numër mekanizmash drejtojnë vëmendjen tonë drejt një imazhi të një vepre ose përjetimi muzikor, apo çfarëdolloj eksperience artistike që na ndihmon të rigjenerojmë një përjetim nga kujtesa.Thënë ndryshe, kur duam të rikujtojmë një pjesë muzikore, së pari rikujtojmë imazhin që na asocon me këtë vepër, pra, nuk zhvillohet e vetme, por e lidhur me kujtime, pamje fotografike, përjetime, ose edhe imazhe arkitektonike. Përmes një rishikimi të shkurtër historik që nga parahistoria tek …

Theses and Dissertations

Studimet më të përparuara psikologjike e pedagogjike vërtetojnë se gjashtë vitet e para të jetës së fëmijës kanë ndikim të madh në formësimin e personalitetit të njeriut. Me synimin që zhvillimi i fëmijës deri në gjashtë vjeç të jetë sa më i suksesshëm, njerëzit e profesionit e të shkencës bëjnë përpjekje ta ndërgjegjësojnë shoqërinë për edukimin cilësor të fëmijëve parashkollorë.Taban i filozofisë së edukimit parashkollor është qëndrimi se edukimi është proces që nisë me jetën e fëmijës dhe vazhdon gjatë gjithë moshës parashkollore, duke vazhduar në periodat pasuese jetësore.

Architecture Analyses Of Le Corbusier’S Villa Savoye, Labinot Mehmeti Feb 2014

Architecture Analyses Of Le Corbusier’S Villa Savoye, Labinot Mehmeti

Theses and Dissertations

Le Corbusier remains a very challenging and elusive subject in architectural scholarship today due to the complexity and depth of his work. Critical analyses on his work generally stress one particular design theme or interpretive concept, such as the classical tradition, universalization, machine aesthetics, synthesis of the arts, or mysticism and ambiguity; they never fully explain the depth of his art. He is one of the most significant contributions to modern architecture in the 20th century, Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier. Completed in 1929, Villa Savoye is a modern take on a French country house that celebrates and …

Villa, Zana Elezi

Theses and Dissertations

Nocioni Villë është përdorur për të përshkruar objekte ku jetonin shtresa e lartë (e pasur) e një populli, kurse zanafilla e Villës si objekt banimi daton nga villat e Perandorisë Romake. Në aspektin e situacionit, villat në të gjitha periudhat e zhvillimit të njerëzimit kanë qenë kryesisht objekte të cilat janë ndërtuar në periferi (suburbane) të qëndrave kryesore. Edhe në ditët e sotme, Villa nënkupton, objektet me pamje dhe funksion luksoz, në të cilën jetohet me të gjitha kushtët maksimale. Idea ka qenë të projektohet një Villë bashkëkohore në periferi të Prishtinës, respektivisht në zonën ku shtrihet Liqeni i Batllavës, …


Development Of Cost Model For Construction Projects In Albania, Valdete Ballhysa Nov 2013

Development Of Cost Model For Construction Projects In Albania, Valdete Ballhysa

UBT International Conference

Project cost is one of the most important criteria of success of project and is of high concern to those who are involved in the construction industry. As the construction industry is encouraged to adopt innovation in its trade, project cost came to the industry players to review the prevalent method of cost estimation for cost planning and control of projects. Drawing from that, and appreciating the need to reform the construction industry’s practices, it was conceived that reviewing the existent construction cost modeling used in the preparation of cost planning and control for projects would be the most expedient …


Modified Sma Design Mix For Motorway Wearing Course – Case Study Kosovo Motorway, Esat Gashi, Hajdar Sadiku Nov 2013

Modified Sma Design Mix For Motorway Wearing Course – Case Study Kosovo Motorway, Esat Gashi, Hajdar Sadiku

UBT International Conference

Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mixtures rely on stone-to-stone contacts among particles to resist applied forces, and permanent deformation. Aggregates in SMA should resist degradation (fracture and abrasion) under high stresses at the contact points. For the Motorways, SMA stone grid must fulfil the Mineralogical-petro-graphic condition to be on rock of igneous and/or metamorphic origin but of silicate composition, specific weight and LA method on resistance to fragmentation. During the construction of the Kosovo motorway for wearing course was used the SMA as a asphalt layer providing longer lifetime to the road construction. During the Motorway construction the contractor was short …


Analogy In Elements: Breaking The National Identity, Kujtim Elezi, Nuran Saliu Nov 2013

Analogy In Elements: Breaking The National Identity, Kujtim Elezi, Nuran Saliu

UBT International Conference

The first aim of this paper is to present the after W.W.II temptation of the Macedonian authors to identify national elements that is Macedonian elements in houses build in Macedonia. After identifying them, the same elements (now national) will be used to declare the national heritage in Macedonian houses. Secondly, we would like to compare the same elements found as Macedonian with other places, like Turkey (involving Bursa, Istanbul and other cities), to see if they really are different as those from houses in Turkey, or there is a similarity between them.


Tuned Mass Damper: An Intelligent Device As A Protection System Instructural Engineering, Feti Selmani, Musa Stavileci Nov 2013

Tuned Mass Damper: An Intelligent Device As A Protection System Instructural Engineering, Feti Selmani, Musa Stavileci

UBT International Conference

Nowadays, destructive environmental forces such as earthquakes, tsunamis and winds accompanied with landslides, have mobilized the minds of the civil engineering communities around the world for finding new and better means for the protection of structures. As it is well known already, the conventional design approach, requires, that the structures passively resist environmental disturbances through a combination of strength, deformability and energy dissipation. Our experience shows that this is neither sufficient nor satisfactory. The basic role of passive energy dissipation devices when incorporated into a structure is to absorb or consume a portion of the input energy, thereby reducing energy …

Improving Energy Efficiency In Buildings In Republic Of Kosovo, Ferhat Bejtullahu Nov 2013

Improving Energy Efficiency In Buildings In Republic Of Kosovo, Ferhat Bejtullahu

UBT International Conference

The building sector is responsible for a substantial part of energy use in Europe and Kosovo. Buildings in Kosovo account for 40 % of the total energy demand, but the building sector pays little or no attention to energy efficiency. The most relevant laws (Energy Efficiency law is in force since July 2011), administrative instructions, regulations and strategic documents in field of energy efficiency are almost completed but implementation and enforcement is still very weak.

Despite all this laws, new regulations and other measures that regulates technical requirements for thermal energy saving and thermal protection, application and management faces difficulties …


Tirana, Between East And The West In The Focus Of The Urban Texture, Armand Vokshi, Ani (Panariti) Tola Nov 2013

Tirana, Between East And The West In The Focus Of The Urban Texture, Armand Vokshi, Ani (Panariti) Tola

UBT International Conference

This research tries to synthesize the urban development of Tirana, especially in the historical part of it, at different times. The evolution of the city of Tirana is a typical evolution for Albanian cities with an urban structure, which was born in the Ottoman period. The chaotic urban structure shaped spontaneously in recent centuries, in Bosios plan during 1940, was thought to be treated as a "garden city", well integrated with the new form of the city, preserving at the same time his physiognomy. Unfortunately this project has not been taken into consideration during the years of socialist realism, while …
