saraj tower I sarajevo I bih I 2023
Saraj Tower investigates the vertical city within the specific geographical, climatic,
historical and social context of Sarajevo.
The design combines a new urban landmark for Nedžarići with publicly accessible ground-floor
zones and green spaces. Deep geothermal energy and thermally activated building systems are
conceived as an integrated heating and cooling system; photovoltaics, façade greening, water
strategies and life-cycle considerations extend the energy concept. The high-rise typology
is thereby investigated as an interface between density, public space, landscape, energy and
future urban transformation.
