Our studio project is based in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Bosnian War of 1992 destroyed many lives and buildings, including this former library we now call our “Museum in Ruin.” Our concept is about changing perspectives of the space and adding a curated pathway through it that enhances the building as an art form. A building in ruin can come with many negative emotions and there are points where we wanted to highlight like a destroyed wall or where a bomb crashed through the floor. These became moments apart of our curated pathway through the ruin, to see, feel, touch, and even smell the space in ways you couldn’t before.
