Collaboration
The thirty past years of the Bosnian and Herzegovinian urban planning and architecture reflects the global trend of resistance and solidarity of the professional and social groups toward the continuous process of deregulation, fragmentation and weakening of the positive planning and professional standards and practices, established through the XX century, driven by the ambitions of the narrow political and managerial elites. Their focus are public spaces and public domain at all, with paramount ambition of changing the worlds’ complex natural, cultural and historical environments in the luxury places for the sake of lucrative new normality.
Can urban planning and architecture could serve as the field of reconciliation of woundable societies and Bosnia and Herzegovina still is?
Can architects, planners and engineers offer models for the positive perspectives of our cities and societies?
The vitality of the profession in such context is possible to develop through the collaborations who gain the lost professional territories and capacities of making the cities the better places for their citizens. The case study is focused on city of Sarajevo, Capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where architects and urban planners through the collaborative academic, research, professional and development project are focused on the city urban and transformation of the University of Sarajevo Campus, as the focal point of the development of positive perspectives for the city and its citizens.
