The Bosnian Chronicle

Balkan Urbanism focuses on the discovery and exploration of the new political, social, economic, and urban conditions that have arisen as a result of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The country’s current socio-political situation, in which the collapse of institutional power has unleashed unregulated individual action, creates the conditions for a constantly changing urban space that is the topic of the exhibition. This seeks to define and analyse the current urban and architectural phenomena in Bosnia and Herzegovina under the notion of “balkanisation”. Targeted investigations of the history of urban change in the region are carried out, aiming to channel the country’s own creative energies towards a positive end and encourage sustainable urban development from within.
