Valter - Vraca Forum Sarajevo

The fortress and Memorial Park of Vraca in Sarajevo are one of the capital’s intersections where history reveals itself. Visiting this location is sort of a time travel where one cannot but notice the overlapping layers of collective memory. In addition to this, the neglect of the site is immediately noticeable, being the result of negligence and ignorance by the accountable institutions and authorities, powered by the political turmoil of the last 30 years. This realization is even more disturbing if one considers that the entire site should be under the protection of the state because it has been declared a national monument. This thesis aims to explore the Vraca palimpsest, contextualize spatial elements with historical events, and offer a new layer, which with its forum typology would offer a platform for understanding the disputed past and for creating a participatory society of the future.
