At the very end of the so-called negotiations of the representative trade unions and the Union of Employers of Serbia on the text of the Draft Labor Law, almost nothing was agreed upon. "The trade unions do not want to discuss the extended effect of the collective agreement, any changes when it comes to compensation, and the employers do not want to discuss that the compensation remains the same, as well as that the extended effect of the collective agreement be provided for by law", described the status of the negotiations, the Minister of Labor, Employment and Social Policy, Aleksandar Vulin, two days after he reported to the public that the negotiators had "90 percent agreed positions".

"We hear through the media that we have agreed, which is not true," Zlata Zec, executive secretary of UGS Nezavisnost Zlata Zec, told Vreme. "The unions did not allow the chapter on wages to be opened at all, as well as the reduction of union rights."

The minister's earlier statement - that the views were largely agreed upon, was denied by the president of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Serbia Ljubisav Orbović: "The latest draft amendments to the Labor Law that the unions received from the Ministry of Labor, for the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Serbia and the United Branch Trade Unions Independence is unacceptable, because it is similar to the so-called Radulović law, only in a slightly milder form."

"Neither the Social and Economic Council nor the participants of the social dialogue can assume the role of the Assembly." We cannot decide by ourselves what is good and what is bad, it is the Assembly that gives the last word, but we will also listen to the word of the Social and Economic Council and the trade unions and employers," said Vulin at the same press conference. Then he stated that the representatives of employers and workers gathered in the Social-Economic Council fail to agree on anything, except that they cannot agree. As expecte

platform.MIDDLE: Architecture for Housing the 99%” forefronts the challenges being faced by architects, builders, developers and   policy-makers in their efforts to address housing supply gaps, and presents a ‘toolkit’ of design strategies to meet these demands without compromising quality.

In spring 2019, 5468796 hosted a symposium to discuss the housing crisis in North America with perspectives from architects, urbanists, developers and architectural critics. Some of these findings have been presented in 2023 provoking critical reflection that inspired the production of “platform.MIDDLE”, a comprehensive publication of the research based on transcripts of the original symposium spring-boarding to three more volumes of analysis, which cover all aspects and scales of multi-family housing practice & production across the continent. This session will present the ongoing results of project housing research to inspire a culture of knowledge sharing among peers.

By the completion of this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand the multi-family housing industry in North America and compare it to different countries and cities across the world, contextualizing the housing crisis in relation to initiatives elsewhere and how Canada measures up.
• Demonstrate the full scope of an architectural practice that advocates for social good. 5468796 Architecture believes that an architect’s role today must increasingly intersect with politics, economics, civic governance, social activism, and other forms of cultural and scholarly research, which we’ve defined as our ‘practice ecosystem’.
• Explore design solutions to address the challen

Originally constructed as the James Avenue Pumping Station in 1906 and decommissioned after over eight decades of use in 1986, the historic 'Pumphouse' in Winnipeg, Canada, was breathed new life into by 5468796 Architecture. Now a vibrant mixed-use development, the structure, lying dormant for about 20 years, proves to be a remarkable development bringing together adaptive reuse and urban renewal. Following several failed redevelopment attempts and in the face of impending demolition, the Canadian architecture studio was able to creatively address the challenges posed by the site's heritage, budget constraints and urban context to create a successful prototype for a modern city-building rooted in history and place.

Built to enhance Winnipeg's water supply system—and particularly to strengthen fire control when urban fires posed significant threats to cities—the James Avenue Pumping Station's robust machinery, designed to last, became a defining feature of the site. However, after its closure, the station fell into disrepair and was viewed as an obstacle to upcoming urban development in the area.

“The biggest challenge was to ensure that the new buildings contrasted with the existing structure and yet felt like they belonged. The design approach for the new buildings uses the same or analogous construction techniques as the original, resulting in a collection of artefacts intended to remain timeless,” states Sasa Radulovic, founding partner at 5468796 Architecture, speaking to STIR about the challenges faced in executing this project and the methodologies involved in overcoming them.

5468796 Architecture approached the Pumphouse as a ‘found object,’ integrating new functions into the existing structure while preserving its historic character. The studio’s conceptual design proposal highlighted similar 'hybrid' strat

This month The Architectural Review celebrates the 2012 ar+d Awards for Emerging Architecture, for work by architects under the age of 45. It’s always simultaneously heartening and sobering to engage so closely with the next generation of architects. Heartening in that it gives a unique insight into the critical preoccupations that will shape the future of architecture and urbanism. Sobering in that we hope that youthful optimism and a capacity for experimentation can still flourish against the deadening backdrop of the current economic and ecological crisis. Yet judging from the quality of the work shown here (and of much that did not make the final cut), such qualities continue to underscore a crucial sense of creative resilience.

This year, over 250 submissions were received from a wide range of locales, from Argentina to Indonesia. The jury also reflected a strong international outlook, with Enrique Sobejano from Madrid-based practice Nieto Sobejano; leading critic and writer Charles Jencks; Clare Wright, partner in Wright & Wright Architects; and AR Editor Catherine Slessor. The jury’s discussions owed much to different experiences and world views, but all were agreed on the importance of certain key criteria: connectedness to place, the appropriate use of materials and technology, the cultivation of environmental and social responsibility and an engagement with the notion that architecture should be propositional, shaping new ideas about the built environment and its relationhip with the wider world. Only built work is eligible for submission as our view has always been that architecture is not confined to paper or computerised theorising, but is a compact with society to build responsibly an
