The time period between the late 19th century and World War Two is known as a period of markant transformation in the Ottoman Empire. These changes influenced the city of Tetova in all aspects, such as political, economical, sociological, and architectural. The goal of this paper is the presentation of different architectural styles in the city of Tetova during the above mentioned time period. The breaking point of the so-called 'traditional style' in architecture, in order to leave place for the 'new' one, is another tantative of the work. The traditional way of building was very acute during the rise of 'europianisation' of architecture at this specific time in Tetova, regardless of style influences that were coming from Europe. The first part of the paper tends to explain the power, and at the same time, the authoritative influence of the building tradition during the process of applying different style elements that were coming form Europe. This moment represents the first part of the transformations in the architecture of Tetova during this time. The second part of the work catches the moment when styles already dominated the architectural work executed in Tetova. We were aware that tradition it is not always able to leave marks on the new architectures of the 20th century. Architects were able to correctly apply elements of different architectural styles in their works, and that is why buildings of this time were more correctly formed in an architectural way. Through the architectural expression, the 'europianisation' of Tetova is noticable.

In the construction industry, where in recent times every detail is looked over and planned with the most scientific and technological responsibility, hospitals represent the most investigated and scrutinized facilities. Related closely with institutional and medical practices, hospital design has undergone many reconfigurations. The second half of the past century experienced and produced many hospital models (L, H, T, K type, Patients Tower, Block Plan, etc.), all with the same denominatortoo big, isolated and highly complex structures, strictly opposed to nature, oriented towards medical technology rather than patient's well-being. By the end of the twentieth century, a group of researchers arose in supporting the importance of 'nature' in the healthcare structures. The paradigm is changing. New models and configurations are emerging with the intent of improving the psycho-emotional well-being and social development of the patients who spend long time period of time in hospitals. The hospital design is moving towards patient-oriented solutions and healing environments, a model not invented in our time but inspired from history. In this paper, through travels in history, we analyze the concept of hospital from the very beginning of rational thinking in Ancient Greece up to the Age of Enlightenment, with the intent to identify the forerunners of contemporary hospitals by means of cultural, medical and composition aspects. The geometrical properties of each facilities are also presented.

The first aim of this paper is to present the after W.W.II temptation of the Macedonian authors to identify national elements that is Macedonian elements in houses build in Macedonia. After identifying them, the same elements (now national) will be used to declare the national heritage in Macedonian houses. Secondly, we would like to compare the same elements found as Macedonian with other places, like Turkey (involving Bursa, Istanbul and other cities), to see if they really are different as those from houses in Turkey, or there is a similarity between them.
