Bulletins of the former Centre for housing, published in 1970s and the beginning of 1980s, at the time when the Centre for housing, as part of the IMS Institute, was active, are a valuable testimony not only of their work, but of the general state and way of work and thinking in architecture and urban planning of that period. Bulletins featured reviews of designs, competition entries and realizations, but also researches and theory.

The editor was arch. Božidar Janković, the author of numerous outstanding buildings, like the blocks 22 and 23 at New Belgrade. Authors include dr M. Čanak, B. Janković, B. Karadžić, prof. A. Stjepanović, Ž. Kara-Pešić, dr I. Janković, prof. dr K. Petovar, D. Simić, P. Napijalo, N. Novakov, S. Kovačević, prof. M. Timotijević…

All volumes have a summary with abstracts in English.

More info on the work of the former Centre for Housing, as well as on the activities of the informal association of the same name, founded in 2012, can be found at www.centarzastanovanje.com.

The Centre for Architecture Belgrade also has the magazines that were published at the same time by the Centre for prestressed concrete of the IMS Institute. Besides the more technical articles, these bulletins also featured interesting texts on architecture. The editor was dr Ivan Petrović, the pioneer of research in the field of (architectural) design methodology. Along with the names of authors who contributed in the Bulletins of the Centre for Housing, this magazine featured, besides I. Petrović, articles by others, like dr I. Svetel or prof. Z. Lazović.

Ovaj časopis, dugovečan i žilav kao i njegov tvorac, u novom broju donosi, između ostalog, prikaze aktuelnih projekata i nagrađenih radova mladih arhitekata, nekadašnjih Čika Mikinih učenika, ali i dva izuzetno zanimljiva i značajna priloga iz naše, pomalo zaboravljene istorije – obiman tekst o nekadašnjem Centru za stanovanje IMS, kao i podsećanje na dr Ivana Petrovića, pionira u oblasti istraživanja metodologije projektovanja. Ovi tekstovi su svedočanstvo o vremenu kada se i kod nas neko ozbiljno bavio primenjenim istraživanjima u oblasti arhitekture, odnosno kada se od takvog rada moglo pristojno živeti.

Razbarušen i neformalan, ovaj časopis je i dalje praktično jedina periodična publikacija koja se kod nas bavi kritičkim i naučno zasnovanim promišljanjem na temu arhitekture i grada.

Časopis ARD reviev je u potpunosti delo dr Mihaila Čanka, člana Akademije arhitekture Srbije, naučnog savetnika, nekadašnjeg direktora Centra za stanovanje IMS i Instituta za arhitekturu i urbanizam Srbije, uglednog projektanta i istraživača, eksperta za pitanja stanovanja i vrednovanja u arhitekturi. Ovaj i prethodni brojevi časopisa dostupni su i u digitalnom obliku.
