We won 3rd prize in the international ‘Tiny Library 2019’ architecture competition
Project V Architecture have won 3rd prize in the international ‘Tiny Library 2019’ architecture competition organised by Volume Zero, with our project ‘(Tiny) Ministry of Knowledge’, located on the Inter-Entity Border Line in north-west Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).
The competition shortlisted 50 entries from all over the world, including projects from China, India and the USA, which were judged by an internationally acclaimed judging panel.
The awarded competition idea ‘(Tiny) Ministry Of Knowledge’ is a response to the lack of shared public libraries and education programmes in BiH, a country which has remained divided along ethnic borders since the 90’s war. A lack of public space to rebuild peace, shared identity and knowledge postwar affects the rural communities worse, where many children attend segregated schools.
The (Tiny) Ministry of Knowledge proposes a collective institution; situated on a former front-line, today a hiking trail on the edges of rainforest “Lom” and Klekovaća mountain, that borders three divided communities who once lived together in peace: namely the converging point of the Inter-Entity border line that connects Drvar, Bosanski Petrovac and Petrovac, which are part of the post-war authorities of Una-Sana Canton, Canton 10 and Republika Srpska, formed under the Dayton Peace Agreement in 1995.
This design is part of a series of community projects that Project V Architecture are designing along the inter-entity borders in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which aim to promote shared education, social cohesion, environmental sustainability and tourism in BiH. Project V Architecture are currently discussing the development of the project with potential partners.
Following the extreme isolation experienced as a result of Covid-19, this is a project that proposes an alternative post covid-19 future for BiH, in which we can finally re-build peace and shared public space in divided communities for future generations.

Projekt V Arhitektura osvojio je 3. nagradu na međunarodnom arhitektonskom natječaju ‘Tiny Library 2019’ u organizaciji Volume Zero, sa našim projektom “(Malo) Ministarstvo Znanja”, koji se nalazi na međuentitetskoj granici u sjevero-zapadnoj BiH.
U užem izboru natječaja je bilo 50 radova iz cijelog svijeta, uključujući projekte iz Kine, Indije i SAD-a, koje su ocjenjivali ugledni arhitekti međunarodnog žirija.
Nagrađeno konkursno rješenje “(Malo) Ministarstvo Znanja“ je odgovor na nedostatak zajedničkih javnih biblioteka i obrazovnih programa u BiH. Država je od 90-tih do danas podjeljena po međuetničkim granicama. Nedostatak javnog prostora za izgradnju mira, zajedničkog identiteta i znanja posilje rata pogotovo loše djeluje na ruralne zajednice, gdje na nesreću mnogo djece pohađa podijeljene škole.
(Malo) Ministarstvo Znanja predstavlja zajedničku instituciju, smještena na nekadašnjoj prvoj liniji, danas planinarsko područje na rubovima prašume “Lom” i planine Klekovaća. Područje je na granici s tri podijeljene zajednice koje su nekad živjele zajedno u miru: naime konvergentna tačka međuentitetske granične linije koja spaja Drvar, Bosanski Petrovac i Petrovac, a koji su dio poslijeratnih vlasti Unsko-Sanskog Kantona, Kanton 10 i Republike Srpske, formirani kao dio Dejtonskog mirovnog sporazuma 1995. godine.
Ovaj dizajn je jedan od niz projekata koje Projekt V Arhitektura planira u podijeljenim zajednicama širom BiH, koje će imati za cilj promoviranje zajedničkog obrazovanja, društvene kohezije, održivosti okoliša i turizma u BiH. Projekt V Arhitektura trenutno razgovara o razvoju projekta sa potencijalnim partnerima.
Nakon ekstremne izolacije koja je doživjela kao rezultat Covid-19, ovaj projekat predlaže alternativnu budućnost za BiH nakon covid-19, u kojem konačno možemo izgraditi mir i zajednički javni prostor u podijeljenim zajednicama za buduće generacije.
