who can apply Summer school is open for students of architecture, technology, civil engineering, architectural conservation and art history brief The program of this years edition of the School is divided into two modules technological and architectural. Both of the modules are going to focus on technologies of building made of brick, with brief explanation of the concept of mixed systems applied in case of housing architecture the application of the adobe and rammed earth. The technology module will focus on methodology of conservation and restoration of brick walls and application of lime systems (mortars). Building the program upon the experiences of the HEROMAT project by Faculty of Technology - University of Novi Sad and The Provincial Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments, the participants will have the opportunity to collaborate on the ongoing research on historical material sampling and diagnostics, synthesizing protective materials and mixing consolidants for the reparation of brick walls built with lime- and mudmortar systems. The architectural module focuses on building data bases on monuments of culture and pre- and post-restoration monitoring, emphasizing so called live heritage, the heritage/monuments that are in use, such as traditional housing architecture of Vojvodina made with various techniques of earthen architecture. Special part of the module will be the topic of management of energy consumption in monuments of culture, and the potential application of renewable energy resources in this domain. The buildings that are going to be in the focus of this case study (fortress, certain number of houses, restaurant of traditional cuisine) are going to be of various use/function, scattered around the municipality of Ba. application deadline

The main idea of this project is to bring together international experts and students of various disciplines to collaborate, researching the possibilities for sustainable restoration of tangible heritage. The project activities consist of lectures, practical analysis and field work. Project always has the preproduction (announcement, registration and preparation), organization (onsite work) and postproduction phase which aims at the publishing of the follow up material. At the moment of its emergence, the project was reacting to the lack of hands-on professional training and programs of informal education in field of heritage in Serbia, starting off as a regional project with an ambition to grow. So far 40 students of architecture and technology have attended the three Schools held since 2010, 27 peer educators, 34 professionals of various backgrounds. The participants came from all the countries of former Yugoslavia, Hungary, Austria, Greece and Turkey. The project started off as the first extracurricular school of architecture in Serbia, 20 years after Bogdan Bogdanovis school in Mali Popovi was demolished and closed. Project started with the ambition to encourage participation in multidisciplinary international projects and to communicate with professional circles, dealing with the implementation and sustainability of projects of heritage protection within the local, regional, and European framework. The main objective of the consortium, revolving around the project, is to create efficient platform for theory and practice in implementation of the projects of heritage preservation. By maintaining the continuity the Summer School of Architecture emerged as a form of additional (professional) training for students of architecture, young professionals, residents of Ba and local government. Another important goal of the project is a promotion of the additional (informal) professional education with a compulsory element of field work and with local community. The program of The Summer School of Architecture encompasses: lectures, workshops, site visits and interviews with the residents, discussions, debates, and short-term projects. By means of promoting, the project aims at gathering mixed (international + local) group of students in fields of architecture, art, conservation and technology. This group of students will be trained by the international group of peers (Serbia, Austria and Slovakia) and local experts (Novi Sad, Belgrade) responsible for protection and restoration of the monuments.
