Bosnia and Herzegovina Pavilion

The inner space of the pavilion is arranged in a figure “8″ and multi-faceted pattern and divided into Handicraft Area, LCD and Interaction Area, Cinema and Dining Area. The country’s cultural and natural diversity is presented in many aspects, displaying the balanced development of cities and villages as well as the harmonious co-existence of people with different backgrounds, which interprets the theme “Whole Country – One City.”

In following the theme, Better City – Better Living, this year’s Global exhibition strives to show current ways of living in modern cities. With this in mind, we were inspired by brilliant architectural examples from our country’s past. Working with a theme of our medieval fortified cities, we applied that concept as an idea for arrangement of interior space. We believe that this suits the competition guidelines that allow for limited space and incorporates the idea of “one world, one city.”

While searching for an appropriate pattern for this presentation and analyzing competition parameters, 5 scenes + VIP and its symbolism of 5 elements, we came up with schematics for the interior of our structure which correlate with the relationship and placement of elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Following the basic rule of movement of these elements in coordinate system, this seemingly simple concept has transformed the entire interior of our structure into a complex space. Outside is adorned, as a mandatory element, with children’s drawings.
