Danube – NEOLEPENISM HOUSE

Neolepenism house in the Museum Lepenski Vir, short video

The author of Neolepenism house visited the Museum Lepenski Vir on the Friday, 28th of August 2020. Here is a short presentation of the model of Neolepenism house at the archeological site, which was the model for this new energy efficient architecture. Neolepenism house architecture can respond to challenges of Climate changes and Global warming.

The terms Neolepenism (neolepenizam) or Neolepenism house (kuća neolepenizma)

We use a lot of words for energy efficient house: passive house, green house, low energy house, NZEB, Energy plus house…

Neolepenism can be a new kind of energy efficient architecture that can respond the challenges of sustainable development. The name Neolepenism is very appropriate because the prefix neo denotes something new, while Lepenism refers to the architecture of the prehistoric settlement and culture of Lepenski Vir. The Lepenski Vir is located on the right bank of the Danube in the Djerdap Gorge (Republic of Serbia). The architecture of this prehistoric settlement has served as an inspiration and role model for a new, copyrighted form of building that is based on the principles of energy efficiency.

The term Neolepenism for this form of architecture was proposed by Serbian actor and former student of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, Predrag Kolarević, when he saw animations of a building with the this form. This term is not in any way related to the terms “Lepenism” and “Lepenization” encountered on the Internet, which are related to the politics of French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen.

About this site

Neolepenism can represent a new type of energy efficient architecture that can respond to the challenges of sustainable development. It presupposes the shape of a building object inspired by the prehistoric architecture of the Lepenski Vir culture. Remains of the architecture of prehistoric settlements Lepenski Vir and Padina – Gospodjin Vir, which were on the right bank of the Danube in the Djerdap Gorge (Republic of Serbia), represent the remains of energy-efficient architecture, which the author had already written before. It turned out that during the construction of prehistoric houses, the thermal comfort in them was taken into account: about the compactness of shapes, orientation, aerodynamics of the shape, digging, plant environment and other. The positive experiences of this prehistoric architecture have been improved and perfected, so the author proposes a new form of a building object, based on the principles of energy efficiency, and inspired by the architecture of Lepenski Vir. The form of energy efficient house, which is copyrighted, can significantly contribute to energy savings, reduction of greenhouse gases emissions, and considerable savings in construction material and thermal insulation.
