Summary: Based on ecological principles of preservation and improvement of man's environment, the objective of this project is to analyze particular architectural factors that have a decisive effect on form, design, energy efficiency, cost effectiveness and psychophysical qualities of housing, and to attempt to define criteria and elements for an improved model of apartment building architecture that would outline an integral ecological approach to residential building in Zagreb and provide a foundation for a different approach to design and future standards in the field.

Keywords: ecology, morphology, typology, participation, residential environment, program models. artificial intelligence, urban models. residential architecture, flexibility, energy, materials, building and apartment catalogue, bioclimatic rehabilitation, ecological architecture

Research goals: With present-day ecological demands in view, the proposed project will investigate the dominant forms of residential building in Zagreb (family homes and apartment blocks), in particular a) their urban value; b) adaptability of their structure to the relative and absolute flexibility in the organization of residential space; c) bioclimatic and energy characteristics of both forms in regard to size, position and orientation; d) their potential at variety that could express the tenants' individuality and create a feeling of belonging; on the basis of the above analyses, the project will attempt to formulate models of multi-apartment building in Zagreb that could provide a pattern for other cities in Croatia. Within the project, possibilities will be investigated for the application of CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) methods and systems for visualization and evaluation in architectural design that help the efficiency of the process and the overall quality (in terms of environment, design, function and energy) of residential designs. Also investigated will be the possibility for creating knowledge bases on housing units and surroundings, drawn upon the research in the field of artificial intelligence, that would contain experience and knowledge derived from this research, and could become and intelligent part of future integrated CAD systems and a "consultant" to architects and other professionals.
