The Centre for Spatial Research

https://icprostor.wordpress.com/

Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Centre for Spatial Research is initiated by a group of young architects, thanks to the enthusiasm and personal commitment. Its intention are enhancement of everyday life in BIH cities, the same as the wider understanding of architecture as a tool for change. By recognizing problems and needs, it experiments with development of new models of action in processes of urban planning. It balances between science, practice and activism, pointing to the need for an interdisciplinary approach.

Call for ideas 2021

New layers of urban landscapes- Maslešas’ backyard


New layers of urban landscapes- Maslešas’ backyard


A new element in the network of small-scale urban interventions in Banja Lukas’ urban tissue designed as an experimental public space that reinvents the meaning of ,,public garden’’ and its’ relation to conventional public spaces.

Type of project
  • Site-specific cases

The project is a small-scale urban intervention, which expands the network of open public spaces. It provides new layers of urban landscape by caring about accessible, safe and custom public spaces released from previously abandoned, peripheral and dangerous urban voids. The idea is to renew and recreate a multifunctional space, that in addition to everyday activities becomes a stage for different ways of free artistic and other expression. The concept is a synthesis of thinking on three topics: collective memory of the place, urban backyard and the art. The concept reduces to only one element, defined by an intensely colored wrinkled surface, fitting the area. The main theme of the garden is absent, expressing a criticism of "placing" the green yard in a concrete defined place, as opposed to numerous destroyed green areas. Layers of spatial thinking are read in associations to the transformation of the theater curtain with horizontal laying, containing different meanings attached.
