saraj tower I sarajevo I bih I 2023

the representational contribution should reflect the future and past of a unique, multicultural society in an architectural statement. the viewer can find historical symbols and new technologies in the face of the towers. the concept of the towers is to reposition the „forgotten city“ in an international context. the climate justice of the building is to be internationally exemplary. the author conceptualizes the building decidedly against all trends of glass architecture in order to demonstrate the sustainability of an emerging culture. in the architectural concept of the contribution, the design intention - namely to simultaneously create a „public space“ and to abandon the mistakes of a traditional culture of shopping centers - is decisive. in the present concept, the basic idea of modern architecture, in particular to create public spaces in favor of a vertical development structure, is consistently pursued. a city is more than just the sum of its buildings and streets; it is a reflection of the collective soul, a living testimony of human aspirations. the history of a city teaches us not only about the past, but also about the present and the future. the city is a place of growth and change, resisting and adapting, preserving old stories and writing new ones. the process of creating a new city is not only a constructional endeavor, but also an opportunity to shape a unique identity. in this context, signs and symbols have a vital role to play in creating a visual identity and embodying the essence of the new city. the architecture and landmarks of a new city can also act as symbolic elements. a unique building or structure can become a symbol of identification. collectively, signs and symbols of a new city serve to establish a common identity. thoughtful design and selection of these symbols help establish a distinctive identity and create a strong connection between people and their environment. the history of sarajevo is a living testimony of overcoming conflict and the will of a city and its people to recover from the tragedies of the past. the diversity, resilience and cultural depth of the city make it a unique place on the world map of history. the urban development of sarajevo is a fascinating journey through the centuries, reflecting the changes in architecture, infrastructure and way of life. in the history of a city, we find parallels with the history of mankind. it is a microcosm of the human experience, a place where social, political, cultural and economic forces merge. the history of skyscrapers in sarajevo is in its infancy. it reflects the constant transformation around the world. cities are also living ecosystems, made up of social, economic, cultural and political elements.
