In recent years, digital technologies have become indispensable tools for the preservation and documentation of architectural and cultural heritage. Traditional 3D modeling methods, such as photogrammetry and laser scanning, require specialized equipment and extensive manual processing. Neural Radiance Field, an AI-based technique, enables photorealistic 3D reconstructions from a limited set of 2D images. NeRF excels in cultural heritage documentation by effectively rendering reflective and translucent surfaces, which often pose challenges to conventional methods. These approaches significantly accelerate workflows, reduce costs, and minimize manual intervention, making them ideal for inaccessible or fragile sites. The application of NeRF combined with drone-acquired high-resolution images, as demonstrated in the Katolička Porta project in Novi Sad, produces highly detailed and accurate digital replicas. This integration also supports virtual restoration and texture enhancement, enabling non-invasive exploration of conservation scenarios. Katolička Porta, a historically significant site that has evolved over centuries, benefits from these advanced digital preservation techniques, which help maintain its unique architectural and cultural identity. This integration of technologies represents the future of cultural heritage conservation, offering innovative possibilities for visualization, research, and protection.

In the late 19th century, the first industrial brick and tile production plant was established in Velika Kikinda. This marked a shift from using traditional materials such as mud and adobe to bricks in the Torontl and Bcs-Bodrog counties. The paper provides an overview of the brickmaking history in these regions, focusing on the factories of the influential Bohn brothers. It further discusses brick use in shaping industrial architecture at the beginning of the 20th century. Bricks were not only used as basic building materials but also to design and emphasize various facade elements including cornices, plinths, and pediments. The paper includes a detailed analysis of industrial complexes built in the early 20th century, such as Viktor Elek's sugar factory and Lazar Dunđerski's brewery in Veliki Bečkerek (modern-day Zrenjanin). Their facades are characterized by rhythmicity, artistic expression, harmony, and reduced decorativeness achieved through the use of facade bricks.

The subject of this study is housing in the villages of Banat, a region that today belongs to the Republic of Serbia, as well as the standardised (type) plans of rural houses from the 18th century to the mid-20th century. The paper situates the analysed type designs within a broader historical and social context, highlighting their forms of appearance and the ways in which they changed under the influence of various political, cultural, religious, and other factors. The aim of the research is to determine how the social context shaped these designs, what was of primary importance for society in specific historical periods and what was less significant, and how general state instructions were reflected at the level of rural settlements and individual rural households. Furthermore, by applying historical methodology and the methods of analysis and synthesis, the study seeks to identify the boundary between buildings constructed according to type plans and those belonging to the domain of vernacular architecture. It is assumed that, despite the existence of standardised designs, the identity and traditions of the populations inhabiting the region exerted a considerable influence on the formation and transformation of rural dwellings.
