The article aims to address strategies, and the innovation behind smart neighbourhoods in Europe by leveraging technology and data to make cities more efficient, livable, and sustainable as the ...current need of urban development. The article’s focus point is the assessment of project cases in Aspern (Vienna), Brainport (Eindhoven), Santa Gulia (Milan), Harbor City (Oslo), Hafen City (Hamburg), and Nordhavn (Copenhagen), to showcase the most driven factors for planning and designing smart neighbourhoods. The study explores various literature for designing smart neighbourhoods that serve as a starting point of smart city initiatives for the urban development of smart cities and should continue beyond city boundaries to entail decentralized energy generation systems, electric charging stations, electric vehicles, and storage facilities which contribute on the neighbourhoods’ development. Conversely, it was also apparent that all of the plans for smart neighborhoods are still being implemented, that there is a lot of experimentation going on, and that the neighborhoods are continuously being improved to better serve their communities. Overall, the included smart neighbourhoods have demonstrated several approaches to being intelligent and sustainable by continuously aiming to develop in higher smart levels such as providing a more sustainable and eco-friendly life for its citizens through a variety of projects. By combining these approaches, smart neighbourhoods can continue to progress, which will significantly improve the quality of life for those who live there.
Upotreba design thinking metode približava praktično rješavanje problema i način razmišljanja u kojem se korisnik nalazi u središtu, što vodi do inovacije koja može dovesti do diferencijacije i ...konkurentske prednosti. Rad nudi objašnjenje pojma i metode design thinkinga, povijest i pozadinu, te pregled i vizualizaciju etapa procesa inovativnog dizajna. U radu su također izloženi primjeri design thinking metode u znanstvenom istraživanju, edukaciji i poslovnoj praksi.
The use of design thinking method approaches practical problem solving and the way of thinking in which the user is located in the center, which leads to the innovation that can lead to differentiation and competitive advantage. The paper provides an explanation of the concept of design thinking method, history and background, as well as an overview and a visualization of the stages of the innovative design process. The paper also presents examples of design thinking method in scientific research, education and business practice.
This study examines and contrasts the implementation and results of smart initiatives across four domains - smart people, smart economy, smart environment, and information and communication ...technologies (ICT) - in four large-sized-smart cities: London, Paris, Barcelona, and Milan. By investigating these domains, the study intends to assess the effectiveness of smart city strategies. It examines how technology and data-driven approaches have been implemented to enhance citizen participation, promote environmental sustainability, and stimulate economic growth. This research contributes to an in-depth comprehension of the many facets of smart cities and their potential to transform urban environments.
Rad opisuje računalne sustave, razvijene u posljednjih dvadeset godina, koji iako nisu doživjeli primjenu u arhitektonskoj praksi, posjeduju zanimljive mogućnosti strukturiranja i povezivanja ...projektantskog znanja, te usmjeravanja i poticanja arhitektove kreativnosti.
Rad opisuje rezultate istraživanja novo nastajućih Web3D tehnologija koje omogućuju interaktivni prikaz trodimenzionalnih sadržaja na web stranicama. Analizirane i opisane Web3D tehnologije i alati ...podijeljeni su u dvije skupine. Prvu čine alati za pregledavanje i opis 3D objekata, a drugu alati i tehnologije za stvaranje i prikaz 3D scena. U radu su opisane razlike među pojedinim alatima s obzirom na njihovu namjenu, funkcionalnost, strukturu i zahtijevano predznanje, te njihove sadašnje mogućnosti i ograničenja u odnosu na primjenu u arhitekturi.

The publication entitled Investigating the Participatory Potential of the Citizens in Public Urban Space Planning in Zagreb provides information about the initiative City Acupuncture and its ...methodological approach. It presents the first stage of the project Zagreb for me based on an interdisciplinary survey of the citizens’ opinions about public spaces in Zagreb whose revitalization and improvement would considerably raise the quality of life. The publication shows that participatory activities are not simple. They require social skills, a great deal of tolerance and patience, a democratic dialogue and especially time which is undesirable nowadays in the context of developers’ dotted planning of the city. It is precisely for this reason that this publication is indispensable for students in all fields dealing with problems and development of cities. It is also a reminder for the professionals involved in planning processes that the voice of the citizens cannot be reduced to formal commentaries on planning documentation but has to be included from the very start in planning process.
