My search for practical knowledge about architecture, applicable for the protection of the architect, ended up in a question: How could architects use knowledge about architecture to protect themselves from the Lion? My first answer for the “architect and lion” riddle was to build a bunker around the architect. My mentor, in a second, solved the problem by drawing a cage around the lion. Two completely different structural responses, with a striking difference in their consequences, both solve the same problem.

To research the relationship between architect and insecurity more directly, I saw the opportunity to react in the context of public construction works done in the spring of 2019 by the Novi Pazar local government. Development was done against the interest of the public because of the cutting of trees, paving of green areas, and built heritage destroyed on the way. During the construction, I protested in various ways, prooving that creativity is the limit.
