New Urban Topologies (NUT) Mostar 7 th –9 th November 2012 Färgfabriken’s international program New Urban Topologies (NUT) brings together architects, academics, artists, and officials from Sweden, Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the Middle East. The objective is to create a democratic platform for urban development. Introduction NUT Färgfabriken has extensive experience arranging meetings on the future and potential of cities. The goal is to get actors from a variety of backgrounds to meet and exchange their experiences. After having worked with Sweden and Stockholm, Färgfabriken started the international program New Urban Topologies (NUT). The program focuses on countries in which dialogue and discussion about urban planning cannot be taken for granted. In the fall of 2010, Färgfabriken organized meetings in Minsk, Belarus and Chisinau, Moldavia. Our seminars, excursions, and workshops resulted in new contacts between each city’s most powerful people and some of its most creative artists, academics and architects. The two projects were documented in the book New Urban Topologies: The Chisinau and Minsk Experience. The book comprises texts and interviews conducted by and featuring the meeting participants. In the fall of 2011, we moved on to Skopje, Macedonia and Alexandria, Egypt. In Alexandria we had, for the first time, representatives from several different countries participating. There were activists, academics, and powerful figures from Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, and Syria. As in all of our New Urban Topologies projects, they were joined by participants from Sweden: key figures from the City of Stockholm, the School of Architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology, and the Office of Regional Growth, Environment, and Planning. In Skopje and Alexandria, as previous editions, new contacts were established among the various groups represented, contacts that have since deepened outside the projects framework. The process continued when Färgfabriken invited participants from all of the previously visited countries to come to a joint meeting in Stockholm in December of 2011. The last NUT programme was implemented in Amman Jordan, May 2012. October 8 2012, the book Alexandria – City of Layers, about NUT in Alexandria 2011, was released at the Swedish Institute in Alexandria. NUT Mostar During the period 7 to 9:th of November, NUT Mostar will gather different types of stakeholders in order for them to meet and exchange ideas. These are officials, engaged younger architects, artists, students and researchers.

New  Urban  Topologies  (NUT)  Mostar    

7th  –  9th  November  2012    Färgfabriken’s   international   program   New   Urban   Topologies   (NUT)   brings   together  architects,  academics,  artists,  and  officials  from  Sweden,  Eastern  Europe,  the  Balkans  and  the  Middle  East.  The  objective  is  to  create  a  democratic  platform  for  urban  development.  

Introduction  NUT  

Färgfabriken   has   extensive   experience   arranging  meetings   on   the   future   and   potential   of  cities.  The  goal   is   to  get  actors   from  a  variety  of  backgrounds   to  meet  and  exchange   their  experiences.   After   having   worked   with   Sweden   and   Stockholm,   Färgfabriken   started   the  international   program  New  Urban   Topologies   (NUT).   The  program   focuses   on   countries   in  which  dialogue  and  discussion  about  urban  planning  cannot  be  taken  for  granted.  

In  the  fall  of  2010,  Färgfabriken  organized  meetings  in  Minsk,  Belarus  and  Chisinau,  Moldavia.  Our  seminars,  excursions,  and  workshops  resulted  in  new  contacts  between  each  city’s  most  powerful   people   and   some  of   its  most   creative   artists,   academics   and   architects.   The   two  projects   were   documented   in   the   book   New   Urban   Topologies:   The   Chisinau   and   Minsk  Experience.   The   book   comprises   texts   and   interviews   conducted   by   and   featuring   the  meeting  participants.  

In  the  fall  of  2011,  we  moved  on  to  Skopje,  Macedonia  and  Alexandria,  Egypt.  In  Alexandria  we   had,   for   the   first   time,   representatives   from   several   different   countries   participating.  There  were   activists,   academics,   and   powerful   figures   from   Lebanon,   Turkey,   Jordan,   and  Syria.  As  in  all  of  our  New  Urban  Topologies  projects,  they  were  joined  by  participants  from  Sweden:   key   figures   from   the   City   of   Stockholm,   the   School   of   Architecture   at   the   Royal  Institute  of  Technology,  and  the  Office  of  Regional  Growth,  Environment,  and  Planning.  

In   Skopje   and  Alexandria,   as   previous   editions,   new   contacts  were   established   among   the  various   groups   represented,   contacts   that   have   since   deepened   outside   the   projects  framework.   The   process   continued  when   Färgfabriken   invited   participants   from   all   of   the  previously  visited  countries  to  come  to  a   joint  meeting   in  Stockholm  in  December  of  2011.  The  last  NUT  programme  was  implemented  in  Amman  Jordan,  May  2012.    

October  8  2012,   the  book  Alexandria  –  City  of   Layers,  about  NUT   in  Alexandria  2011,  was  released  at  the  Swedish  Institute  in  Alexandria.    

NUT  Mostar  

During   the   period   7   to   9:th   of   November,   NUT   Mostar   will   gather   different   types   of  stakeholders   in   order   for   them   to  meet   and   exchange   ideas.   These   are   officials,   engaged  younger  architects,  artists,  students  and  researchers.

By   doing   so   foundations   that   have   not   existed   before   will   be   laid   for   communication  between  different  groups  and  with  the  public.  The  results  are  to  be  gathered,  analysed  and  shown  in  different  contexts.      Issues   for   NUT  Mostar  will   for   example   be   the   divided   city,   illegal   buildings   and   the   new  Master   Plan   for   the   city   centre   (see   below).   Further   questions   that   are   usually   discussed  during  NUT  concern  public  space,  transportation  and  participation  in  the  planning  process.  From   Sweden,   representatives   from   the   Royal   Institute   of   Technology,   City   Planning   in  Stockholm   and   of   course   from   Färgfabriken   will   participate.   Representatives   from  Alexandria,  Chisinau,  Skopje  and  Riga  are  also  invited.      ReCode  District  -­‐    Urban  DNA  for  21st  Century.      “District  area”  of  the  City  of  Mostar  is  about  to  be  transformed  into  a  new  city  centre.    The  area,  which  served  as  the  division  line  during  the  war,  has  to  be  designed  into  a  centre  for   all   of  Mostars   citizens.   The  project   has   a   symbolic   value   in   the   sense   that   its   not   only  concerning  physical  reconstruction  and  putting  together  different  historical  periods  into  one  unity,  but  its  also  giving  the  future  society  of  Mostar  the  chance  to  have  space  where  they  can  gather,  live,  work  and  give  a  new  meaning  to  the  space.      This  area  and  its  future  transformation  will  function  as  the  take-­‐off  point  for  NUT  –  Mostar.

Dep Sarajevo 15:05 OS758  -­‐      TOPICS  AND  MAPS    New Urban Typologies – Mostar project “ReCode Distirict” Narrow urban area of the city that is named and well known as District in the post –war period is the area that we will treat during the workshop. It can be said that District is a geographical center of the city even though both The Old city of Mostar which is part of the urban structure developed during the Ottoman period, and then area known as Rondo, developed during Austro-Hungarian monarchy in sense of urbanity and popularity is much better percepted by citizens than District itself. In the post-war period, precisely just after war with the Dayton peace agreement Mostar was divided into 6 municipalities and District area. The 6 municipalities were divided into 3 with majority Bosnian and 3 with majority Croat population. It was just District that was an element where urban unification supposed to start. There was a proposal of Master plan for this area unfortunately it was never adopted. It is of a high importance to make a Master plan for this narrow city area. District area is therefore chosen as the major topic of the NUT Mostar project, so that we can within team work try to define the most important issues which are crucial for the future development of the urban tissue of the central city area. In order to have easier access to the task in the short period that is predicted for our workshop we thought that the most relevant would be to form in advance general topics that will lead us into the final result we suppose to obtain which are “The guidance for the District Master Plan”. In that context 5 major topics are named:

1. Integration   of   the   District   into   the   already   existing   urban   tissue   that   surrounds   it.   This  approach  would   be   the   crucial   in   the  way   that   almost   all   area   that   surrounds  District   had  already   developed   Master   plans.   In   that   context   it   would   be   important   to   embed   and  Connect  District  to  its  surrounding.  

2. Traffic  –  Boulevard  (this   is  the  name  of  the  street  Bulevar  narodne  revolucije),  as  the  most  frequent  road  in  the  city  is  a  big  gap  for  this  area.  We  can  say  that  Boulevard  already  “wrote  the   fate”   of   this   area   taking   in   consideration   the   frequency   of   the   traffic.   It   would   be  interesting  and  important  to  see  if  there  can  be  an  alternative  resolution  for  it.  When  we  say  traffic  we  consider  also  pedestrians,  parking  spaces  and  possibility  for  cycling,  etc...  

3. Green  transversal  –  District  area  is  surrounded  by  Major  city  Park  on  one  side  and  Neretva  river  bank  on   the  other.  When  we  walk   through,   there  are  no   in  particular  designed  green  spots.   Accept   of   the   big   Spanish   Square  we   cannot   say   that  we   have   a   public   area  within  District.  It  is  also  important  to  say  that  in  context  of  wider  urban  area  Spanish  square  is  one  of  two  major  squares  in  the  city.  This  issue  can  lead  us  into  the  next  which  is:  

4. Social  aspect  of  District  –  taking  in  consideration  the  fact  that  20  years  ago  this  area  was  a  division   line   between   two   war   sides.   Despite   all   efforts   that   have   been   invested   into   this  process  there  are  still  traces  of  the  wounds  made  by  war.  It  would  be  interesting  to  see  and  

Page 7: NUT Mostar intro and information - cadamostar.com Mostar Seminar-intro and...Introduction$NUT$ Färgfabriken’has’extensive’experience’arranging’meetings’on’the’future’and’potential’of

to  hear  the  proposals  from  someone  who  comes  from  abroad.  New  approaches,  new  visions  and  new  perspectives  for  this  city  area.  

5. Local   people   –  what   they   think   about?   –   it  would   be   of   a   high   importance   to   hear   public  opinion,   to  draw   the  poll  with  questions   so   that  during   the  workshop  we  can   realize  what  people  generally  think  about  this  area.  One  of  the  important  elements  in  our  law  is  to  have  public  hearing  during  the  planning  process.  We  do  make  public  hearings  but  within  our  final  document  that  we  suppose  to  produce  by  the  end  of  our  workshop  it  would  be  important  to  present   the   importance   of   public   hearing   as  well   as  method   of   participatory   planning   and  involvement  of  the  citizens  in  the  process.  

A part from the above formed topics it will be free for all participants to add more issues or all relevant issues that will be important and necessary for the successful results
