Download or read book CODELESS SARAJEVO written by Nataša Pelja-Tabori and published by TU Wien Academic Press. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most European countries, spatial and land-use planning documentation (formal and informal) and building codes complement each other. The city of Sarajevo, however, has not had a building code over the last eight decades. The author, with many years of professional experience as a planner in Sarajevo, shows how this has affected the spatial planning system in all its segments, including through a weak building permission procedure. She compares Sarajevo’s legal framework to the planning systems and building regulations of Slovenia, Vienna, Zurich, and Paris. Arguing that a building code is an inseparable part of land-use management and land-use planning implementation system as well as of sustainable, effective urban politics, the author proposes a model for a new building code and a comprehensive planning system for the Canton of Sarajevo. With implications for spatial planning beyond Bosnia and Herzegovina, the book is highly relevant for planning policy and administration, but also for the scientific community: It addresses spatial and urban planners, jurists, architects, sociologists, and historians of architecture in Continental and South-East Europe.
Download or read book Goodbye Sarajevo written by Atka Reid and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-05-16 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: May, 1992. Hana is twelve years old when she is put on one of the last UN evacuation buses fleeing the besieged city of Sarajevo. Her twenty-one-year-old sister, Atka, staying behind to look after their five younger siblings, is there to say goodbye. Thinking that they will be apart for only a few weeks, they make a promise to each other to be brave. But as the Bosnian war escalates and months go by without contact, their promise to each other becomes deeply significant. Hana is forced to cope as a refugee in Croatia, far away from home and family, while Atka battles for survival in a city where snipers, mortar attacks and desperate food shortages are a part of everyday life. Their mother, working for a humanitarian aid organisation, is unable to reach them and their father retreats inside himself, shocked at what is happening to his city. In Sarajevo, death lurks in every corner and shakes the foundation of their existence. One day their beloved uncle is killed while queuing up for bread in the market square, in a massacre similar to the one three months earlier which prompted a cellist to make a lone musical protest in the deserted streets. But when Atka finds work as a translator in an old, smoky radio station, and then with a photojournalist from New Zealand, life takes an unexpected turn, and the remarkable events that follow change her life, and those of her family, forever. Set in the middle of the bloodiest European conflict since the Second World War, Goodbye Sarajevo is a moving and compelling true story of courage, hope and extraordinary human kindness.
Download or read book Sarajevo Days Sarajevo Nights written by Elma Softić and published by Ruminator Books. This book was released on 1996 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sarajevo Days, Sarajevo Nights is an extraordinary document of life deep inside one of the world's most war-ravaged regions." "Until the spring of 1992, when she was thirty, Elma Softic led a relatively ordinary, happy, middle-class life. She lived with her parents and sister, taught philosophy at a business college, and enjoyed the typical cafe life of a cosmopolitan city." "When the Serbs began bombing that spring, Elma began a diary, her attempt to bear what seemed increasingly unbearable, to stay focused while living in a state of siege. Eventually, she "got sick of it. The war was no longer something to put oneself out for." Rather, what she needed was a listener, someone to talk to about day to day life in Sarajevo. Through ham radio correspondence, she made new friends in Zagreb, who asked her to put her observations on paper in the form of open letters. It was these letters, first passed hand to hand, then reaching an ever-larger public in Croatia and throughout Europe, that created a sensation with their eloquent, sometimes stunning descriptions of modern life - a life not unlike our own - rendered primitive by war." "Published in Canada for the first time in English and now available to readers in the United States, Sarajevo Days, Sarajevo Nights is a collection of Elma's diaries and letters, dated April 1992 to June 1995. With a novelist's eye for detail and a natural storyteller's gift for narrative, she gives clear and compelling voice to a place, a conflict and a life that are, for the most part, unthinkable, unspeakable and unimaginable."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: Young Drasko is happy working with his father in the Sarajevo market. Then war encroaches. Drasko must run the family flower stand alone. One morning, the bakery is bombed and twenty-two people are killed. The next day, a cellist walks to the bombsite and plays the most heartbreaking music Drasko can imagine. The cellist returns for twenty-two days, one day for each victim of the bombing. Inspired by the musician's response, Drasko finds a way to help make Sarajevo beautiful again. Inspired by real events of the Bosnian War, award-winning songwriter and storyteller John McCutcheon tells the uplifting story of the power of beauty in the face of violence and suffering. The story comes to life with the included CD in which cellist Vedran Smailović accompanies McCutcheon and performs the melody that he played in 1992 to honor those who died in the Sarajevo mortar blast.

Download or read book Sarajevo Roses written by Anne Marie Du Preez Bezrob and published by Struik Publishers. This book was released on 2006-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The symbol of my superstition was the symbol of Sarajevo's terror: the crater left by an exploded mortar or artillery shell. Sarajevans, with their unique sense of the ironic, named these 'Sarajevo roses'. There was one outside the entrance to my apartment building and another on the pedestrian bridge I crossed daily. I meticulously made a point of treading on each of them on my way to work and back, wanting to believe this would protect me from the deadly path of a shell or sniper bullet. For two years, in the midst of the conflict in Bosnia, Ann� Mari� du Preez Bezdrob was a United Nations peacekeeper in the besieged city of Sarajevo. As a resident of the city, she was no partial observer, but became passionately involved in individual lives, sharing the Sarajevans' terrors and hard-won joys. Calling the mortar scars 'roses' is symbolic of how Sarajevans faced the horror and privation of the war in Bosnia - with extraordinary courage, inventiveness and wry humor. As her story unfolds, we sense this same irrepressible spirit in the author herself.

Book excerpt: Published to coincide with the release of the Miramax Film, the heart-breaking true account of how one reporter broke the rules of journalistic detachment and saved a Yugoslavian orphan from approaching Serbs. Michael Nicholson's nightly reports from Bosnia alerted Britain and the world to the horrors of the war in the former Yugoslavia. But when the ITN war correspondent found 200 orphan children living unprotected on the outskirts of Sarajevo, in the path of the approaching Serbs, he could no longer watch and do nothing. Fired by anger and despair, he broke the cardinal rule of journalistic detachment. He forged the name of one of the children on his own passport and smuggled her back to Britain to live with his family. For this 9-year-old girl it was the start of an exciting, sometimes bewildering, new life, a thousand miles away from the suffering and destruction of her homeland. Now, in this book, Michael Nicholson tells the full story of her ordeal.

Book excerpt: "This is the second work by the now internationally renowned Bosnian journalist Zlatko Dizdarevic dedicated to the atrocities that have been occurring in war-torn Sarajevo since April 1992." "In this new work, the author turns his focus on his sisters and brothers, the women, men, and children of Sarajevo who have, for various reasons, remained in their beloved yet troubled city and watched it fall around them as they attempt to live their lives as normally as possible.
