Hardback. Condition: New. In her book Mortal Cities and Forgotten Monuments, Arna Mackic explores the topic of war damage to cities and the destruction of their inhabitants' built environment. Mackic, who as a child together with her family had to flee her native Bosnia during the civil war of the 1990s, in her research follows the question "How does destruction make one feel?" The aggressors in the Bosnian war meticulously planned which buildings to destroy to maximise psychological impact on a city's inhabitants. Arguably the most famous example is the bridge of Mostar. When its architecture is destroyed, the face of a city changes, sometimes beyond recognition. Mackic also investigated the role that architecture played at turning points in the history of former Yugoslavia, in particular that of the monuments built between the late 1940s and the 1960 commemorating the victims of fascism under German occupation during World War II.The new book also features Mackic's her proposal for restoring cultural memory through architecture, applying a new open design language that goes beyond political, religious, or cultural interpretations. It outlines options for design interventions in urban space, rooted in ancient traditions while constructively aiming at the future.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - «Was fühlst Du, wenn die Stadt, in der Du lebst, durch einen Krieg zerstört wird » Diese Frage stellte sich die bosnisch-niederländische Architektin Arna Mackic die mit ihrer Familie 1993 während des Bosnienkriegs fliehen musste. Historische wie moderne Bauten stiften Identität und machen einen Ort aus. Die Brücke von Mostar zum Beispiel galt vor und nach den Teilungskriegen auf dem Gebiet des ehemaligen Jugoslawien als Symbol des Zusammenlebens der Völker. Die Angreifer planten damals genau, welche Bauwerke sie zerstörten, um die Bevölkerung psychologisch zu schwächen. Es betraf Gebäude, mit denen die Menschen sich und ihre Kultur verbanden: Museen, Bibliotheken, Plätze, Brücken. Die Stadt selbst verlor ihre Seele und war für die einstigen Bewohner später kaum wiedererkennbar. In ihrem Buch Mortal Cities zeigt Arna Mackic, wie der Wiederaufbau des kulturellen Erbes vorangetrieben werden könnte. Sie entwirft Interventionen im öffentlichen Raum, die auf traditionellen Wurzeln basieren, dabei aber eine konstruktive Wirkung für die heutige Zeit haben sollen, frei von politischen oder religiösen Interpretationen. Sie verbindet damit die Hoffnung, dass die Einwohner Mostars dereinst ihre Stadt wieder erfühlen können und dass die Seele des Ortes wieder zurückkehrt.…
