Privatisation of a socialist mall in Sarajevo

This article focuses on the transformation of post-socialist cities through the prism of consumption with the case of BBI Centar, a shopping centre located in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This paper attaches great importance to long-term analysis and retraces the evolution of this place from the construction of the first mall in 1974 to the construction of the current one in 2009. This manuscript’s aim is to discuss the notion of post-socialism through consumption, focusing on the place of private actors in the socialist and post-socialist cities and on the relationship between private investors and public authorities in a context of privatisation

COMPETITIVE DESIGN BASED ON THE TASKS OF REAL CUSTOMERS IN THE ARCHITECTURAL SCHOOL AS A NEW VECTOR FOR THE FORMATION OF NATIONAL EDUCATION OF THE FUTURE (BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE ACTIVITY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL ENVIRONMENT DESIGN IN THE LVIV POLYTECHIC

The article highlights the place of competitive design based on the tasks of real customers in the educational process of students of the Lviv architectural school – at the Department of Architectural Environment Design. An important component of education at the department was competitive futuristic design in the form of international and national student design seminars and competitions. The purpose of this vector is to prepare our students for the strict conditions of the need to comply with regulatory requirements in real design and at the same time teach them to experiment freely and creatively. The more complex the project task, methodology, and requirements for its implementation, and the more restrictions there are in the project, the better and more efficient the imagination should work. Participation of students in educational competitive design based on the tasks of real customers helps to educate and study them not by artisans with limited creative imagination, but by master artists and at the same time highly educated professional engineers. In the competitive projects made under real orders, special ones were those that were developed in 2021, because they were carried out taking into account the problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among them, projects for the best draft proposal of a new architectural solution and expansion of the functions of the Panorama shopping centre in Odesa stand out. These projects are valuable because they were solved not only in one aspect – by offering only typological, spatial, functional or architectural and aesthetic ideas, but by taking them syncretically all together. Teachers of the Department of Architectural Environment Design are convinced that this practice can significantly enrich the educational process because it teaches students to work in teams, use all the special knowledge acquired during their studies in the field of architecture, create without feeling barriers between educational, search, experimental, competitive and real design.

Rethinking the Suburban Shopping Centre

<p>Auckland city is New Zealand’s fastest growing city which continues to sprawl outwards degrading the biodiversity of the natural systems. The population’s culture of the ‘quarter-acre dream’ opposes intensification in low rise suburbia. While suburban shopping centres are the product of urban sprawl they are now situated in central areas relative to the growing city. Their land is now more valuable than the surface car parking that occupies the majority of the site and has the opportunity to foster intensification. In addition, these centres no longer provide a new exciting retail experience and the retail environments lack any point of difference between suburb to suburb, city to city and country to country. The research explores three bodies of work; new urbanists Jan Gehl and Peter Calthorpe; retail theory on theatrical experience from the architect Jon Jerde, and eco-master planning of Ken Yeang. Forming the hypothesis that ecology has the ability to facilitate the hybridisation of new urbanism and retail environments creating identity and sense of place for an intensified suburban-centre. Ecology has the capacity to create a theatrical experience to re-image the retail environments towards environmental conscious consumption. The inquiry contends that urban planning and development has fragmented the regions natural systems degrading the biodiversity of species that once occupied the built area. As we continue to consume more land and more commodities, we become removed from the environment, the thing that gives us life. The outcome of this investigation is an urban masterplan and framework for Highland Park Shopping Centre, accommodating commercial, retail, recreational and residential activities in the form of a new suburban centre that reconnects and enhances the region’s natural systems. The centre becomes a catalyst for further intensification in its surrounding context. The strategies employed for the design case study can be replicated at other suburban centres allowing intensification to be enriched from the sites ecology.</p>

The purpose of the current study is to utilise a novel technology that is expected to bring reductions in electrical and heat energy consumption and cut CO2 emissions in the shopping centre public utility building in Mielec. The building is equipped with systems for obtaining heat and cold from groundwater and features the energy consumption level of a passive building with the lowest primary energy ratio (PER) in Poland. This state-of-the-art, innovative, energy-efficient and environment-friendly FCH system with BMS control was subjected to numerous tests and analyses, the details of which will be presented further in this paper. The design assumptions were confirmed and all work parameters were recorded for the system under extreme conditions, including the determination of final energy (FE) and primary energy (PE).

Study Results and Obtaining High Ventilation Air Quality in Architecture for an Old Shopping Centre Public Utility Building with Modernised EL. Heating in Warsaw, District, Poland

The subject of this paper is the study of a public utility building, a shopping centre in Warsaw/Targówek, carried out as part of the programme of “Research for obtaining high air quality in architecture. The purpose of the study of the building is to utilise a new technology which will lead to reductions in electrical and heat energy consumption and cuts in CO2 emissions in the modernised Shopping Centre Public Utility Building in Warsaw. The building is equipped with systems for obtaining heat and cold from groundwater and is adapted to a low electrical energy consumption level with the lowest primary energy ratio in Poland. It is located in Warsaw and, in addition to the energy sourcing system, features a highly modern control system (BMS). The objective of the study is to demonstrate operating costs for a building with low exterior wall and roof insulation parameters. In addition, the building uses a heating system based solely on electrical heating due to its lack of access to gas and district heating. The conducted studies and analyses allowed a comparison of the operating costs of old buildings following modernisation with those of new buildings.

Praying Rooms in Shopping Centres: Are They Important?

The majority of Indonesia’s population are Muslims who must perform the obligatory five prayers daily in which the prayer times have been determined. Shopping centres can encourage ease of worship for Muslim visitors by preparing a praying room to make them feel comfortable and linger longer in the shopping centre, which positively impacts economic development. In this study, 85.3% of respondents selected praying rooms as the most important category compared to the other three categories in shopping centres. A questionnaire, observations and interviews were conducted in a shopping centre in Kabupaten Karawang as a case study to corroborate these initial findings, to determine if religious facilities are essential for Muslim visitors. Praying rooms are important for visitors, especially to promote cosiness for worship, and after praying, visitors can decide to stay and spend more time in the shopping centre. The respondents reported that the provision of worship facilities would benefit the management and tenants/outlets which offer products because the visitors linger in the shopping centre, increasing the products purchased.

Voice based E-Notice Board using Android

For a long time notice board are a source of displaying important news and messages in educational facilities, hospitals, offices and public places etc. However, the drawback of these notice board was the manual effort was required to erase or take down the old messages in order to put up new ones. Therefore, new technologies where interested based on automatic systems to reduce the efforts and make notice board. We implement automatic e-notice board on wireless standard technology ln our project. We design the system using Arduino. Our e-notice board is totally voice operated. Voice based notice board based on android system is most helpful in various organisation. where emergency announcement can be displayed instantly just by speaking out the entire messages. Emergencies apart, this system has provided to be very user friendly. It also eliminates the option of printing out notice and saving tons of paper which initially used to display information. Another advantage is that messages are disclosed in a matter of seconds once typed without any delay in their transmission. As long as an appropriate networks coverage is maintained. Message can be sent to any area in the world. Morden times brings with modern digital advertisement system too. This means that sophisticated shopping centre and malls etc.

Consumer experiences and values in Brazilian Northeast shopping centers

This study aims to expand the knowledge on consumer experiences and values from an innovative marketing perspective in the context of shopping centers of inland towns in the Brazilian Northeast region. A qualitative approach was adopted using 50 in-depth interviews of shopping center visitors to collect data. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to evaluate the data. The results revealed two main categories: unpleasant and pleasant experiences. In terms of main results, 23 participants have a mix of pleasant and unpleasant experiences, while 24 report only pleasant, and 3 – unpleasant experiences. The unpleasant experiences are mostly related to the excess of people (n = 19). In what refers to pleasant experiences, functionality (n = 43), and sensory (n = 33) are the two most mentioned values, being functionality the top value to consumers regardless the purpose they have in going to the Shopping Centre. The results can be relevant inputs to design and manage Shopping Centers regarding cultural adjustment by considering consumers’ experiences and values and the importance of joining competing values behind pleasant and unpleasant experiences. The study contributes to the experiential marketing literature by highlighting the importance of cultural contexts in consumer experiences and behavior research.
