Architecture for Peace Summer School 2022
This Summer Course ran alongside the Peace Centre development, involving a 2-week on-site residency, led by Most Mira and Project V Architecture, in collaboration with the Global Free Unit (GFU) and Umeå School of Architecture (UMA).
Students work resourcefully and collaboratively to design and prototype innovative building components, materials and furniture for the future Peace Centre, as well as a wider reconciliation strategy of small-scale architectural interventions throughout the disjointed rural landscape. The projects will be presented to Most Mira and neighbouring communities as sustainable ‘reconciliation gifts’.
In a time of political fragility, architecture students from across Europe and B&H came together in solidarity to promote peace and friendship. International students work closely with B&H students. This course is part of the Global Free Unit B&H Classroom, building on ten successful Most Mira architecture workshops running since 2014, as well as past and current UMA and GFU programmes in Russia, Lesvos and Izmir.
