Abstract: This paper is an attempt to create a creative compromise between the strict functional requirements of water management structures and the specific landscape characteristics of the river valley, while trying to bring architectural forms with character as close as possible to the building tradition in the historical context, i.e., their interpretation in accordance with the technological characteristics and apprehension of this time and contemporary culture. The design and construction of a system of ten hydropower plants on the Ibar River is in this sense a great challenge, due to a significant, hitherto unused hydro potential would be activated in a modern and efficient way, whereby gigantic structural facilities would be integrated into the natural environment by architectural action, by harmonic fitting of volumes and forms into the landscape characteristics of individual sites and the entire valley. Conceptual attitudes have been formulated to define architectural solutions through the relationship between the purpose and function of facilities, the relationship to the natural environment and the relationship to the architectural heritage, while the basics for defining architectural forms have been drawn from typological characteristics, the application of forms and materials in modern conditions and from significance. Completely different spatial units, with different landscape characteristics and constraints, are connected with the same forms of the functional part of facilities, and with different shaping of the volume, a unique artistic visualization of the entire valley is created. This is how the integrity of the system was achieved, but also the characterization of its parts, which makes the entire technical system more pleasant, and more attractive and valuable both in tourism terms and in general cultural sense. A significant foundation of the concept is the building tradition of the Raška School and the culture of the subject building rules, as well as the symbolic properties of the landmarks that relate to the age of the Serbian medieval state and the time of the Nemanjic dynasty. This highlights the particularity of ambiance physiognomy in the form of an unusual art formulation, by which Ibar hydropower plants will be recognized and memorized.
