Play 0f Structure_1

Last night tests were focused on existing structure. Or the extension of old structure to new.

STREET FOR ALL

The street called Vilsonovo setaliste is popular walking and recreation space in the city of Sarajevo. The street is open for cars durin the week until 17 p.m. But from Friday 17. p.m. to Monday morning is car free zone and it´s open for public. Street follows the river Miljacka which is running through town. A great way to use the city-space. I rented a bike and went on the excursion!

Government plan

Reading about future plans and future development for Sarajevo, I came across things needed to be improved in center area, according to local government. The land movement around Sarajevo hills is old phenomenon since Sarajevo lies in a wally. All together there are 729 registered land movement ( such as small landslides) in Sarajevo district, where approximately 300 are active. Second subject on government plan is to build more kindergartens in part of the center which is next to Skenderija, called Souk Bunar. Government third issue is how to deal with parking problem in the city?

With population of 400.219 there is approximately 2,1 car per person in Sarajevo.

POPULATION

Sarajevo´s population has highest density in the old part of the town, but the largest area where people live is on the outskirts (shown as Novo Sarajevo). The center Skenderija is situated in the one of the fastest growing parts of the town with 71.000 inhabitants. Government expects that population picture in Sarajevo in 2023 will be with population of 18% between age 0-14, 61% between age 15-64 (working group in society) and 20,6% older than 65.

Statistic:All the parts of Sarajevo and amount of inhabitants. Divided in age.

IDEGRAM

After visiting my site in Sarajevo last three weeks, I´ve used some time to get the overview of gathered material. It´s time to clean up and create the hierarchy! Since this would be my only visit to the site, I was ready to collect as much knowledge and information as possible. The terrible complicity between the time and creativity was my main enemy during the visit. Who to ask for information? Where to seek for site plans? And how to select conditions of my visit. I was grateful for having my camera. Spontaneously it became natural to take pictures and use it as my tool for observation.

Destructive introduction

After a long day of selecting and making panorama pictures from my visit to Sarajevo I´am of to bed. Finishing with style,with a piece of art.

POTENTIAL FUTURES

The main objectiv here isn`t only to ask where and what, but to seek new and unseen spaces around my site. The work of potentional futures is to show my movement during registration in Sarajevo around my site and offer the opportunities to the next step: understand city functions - understand study area and seek to the program.

PIECE BY PIECE

I´ve been trying to get the approval from Skendrija administration to shoot some overview photos. After giving my identification,telephone number,street address,social status, social background and after saying that I´ am a friendly student working on my diploma, I finally got the green light: I´am king of the hill. At least for 79 minutes. I took 560 pictures all together. Now it´s time to put them together and start looking and seeing..

Here are first panorama shots. Skenderija, open air-public space and street circulation in front.

HIERARCHY OF MAPPING

While talking to my tutor 2 weeks ago, before my trip to the site, she sad; map everything!! See everything, sketch everything and note everything. Well i did that, at least kind of. To understand my analysis I made my mapping-structure.

(reason some technical challenges, here comes pictures of my sketch book)

City functions-What-Where??

CITY FUNCTIONS 1

The last days in Sarajevo have been interesting and exhausting. Some key-words for last days registrations: movement, city functions, landscape and overview.

The structure for further registrations/analyses:
