Schools and universities have great potential to serve as living laboratories for education of generations that will accept environment protection as a part of their everyday life. School and university campuses are specific urban units because they remind in their form and their function of miniature settlements. Strategies for planning and designing university campus, which is an open space classroom in its broadest sense, will be considered through discussions on the principles of sustainability, on LEED protocol for settlements and through examples from the practice. A lecture on the topic of “Campus as a Miniature Town: University Complex Design” will be held in Novi Sad, at the Faculty of Technical Sciences (Department for Architecture Lecture hall Ranko Radović), on April 19, 2012 at 10.15h. The lecturer is Jelena Pejković, the representative of Expeditio in Serbia.
Jelena Pejković graduated in Architecture from Harvard University and she completed her master studies at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT). She has worked as a designer for the studio Renzo Piano Building Workshop in Paris (2005) and Genova (2007-2010). She has participated in the Biennale in Venice in 2010 with the studio Marc from Torino, cooperated in LEED certifications with the Energo from Belgrade and joined EXPEDITIO Center for Sustainable Spatial Development as a consultant in development of urban manuals for Montenegro. She is currently the representative of EXPEDITIO organization in Serbia.
