The paper contributes to a better understanding of the behaviour of base isolated asymmetric structures. The results obtained by 3D nonlinear dynamic analyses indicate that all considered distributions of bearings, however differently, substantially reduce the unfavourable torsional effects transferred from the superstructure to the base isolation system. It was further observed that CI=CM distribution, favoured by common building codes, is best only for accommodating the torsional effects in the base system, whereas CI=CM distribution might cause damage in the flexible side frames.

The monograph Passive House is the translation from Slovene monography. It isthe first comprehensive publication on this topic in Croatian language, representing – at the present moment - the most optimal concept of energy-saving. Recognition and introduction of the concept discussed into Slovene cultural context in essential to reduce energy use and emissions, deriving from heating systems. This goal is included in the Action plan for energy efficiency 2008-2016.

Vernacular architecture is result of unlearned, but skilled people, and it is very close to theory itself. It is not secret: it is neglected and merely unknown, and bibliography can be find very rare. The book has theoretical part with treatise about spatial managing in rural space, graphical part with photos, drawings, technical drawings, analyses and computer simulations of this simple, smart architecture - for interpreting details and compositions in rural space with its typical landscape. There can be find also comprehensive dictionary of typical words, as understood by an architect.

Architectural post-information system (APIS) is a model of topography, analysis, planning, supervision and examination of environmental dynamic supplemented by architectural concepts. It facilitates a perfect, systematic, integral information basis for the establishing of the » load capacity of the environment«, perfecting of the observation system and model systems, systematic identification of the burden on the environment, improvement of the basis for prevention activities, linking of principles with activities.

The book offers multi-layered responses to the scope and causes of spatial changes in the cultural landscape in Slovenian countryside. It presents the results of an interdisciplinary approach to recognising spatial change and trends. The cadastral communities of Žalec and Gotovlje offer an example of intensification; the two are in contact with both the Alpine and the Pannonian regions. The cadastral community of Kožbana, as a representative of the Mediterranean region, and the cadastral community of Sela pri Hinjah, representing the Dinaric region, were selected to illustrate marginalisation.
