Zemlja 公寓丨波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那萨拉热窝丨ProjectVArchitecture

Zemlja是波黑可持续城市生活的新典范，位于萨拉热窝的一个前社会主义社区，是一个生态和经济上都可行的改造公寓。

A new model for sustainable urban living from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Zemlja, is an ecologically and economically viable retrofit apartment located in a former socialist neighbourhood in Sarajevo.

Zemlja 位于萨拉热窝饱受战争之苦的 Grbavica社区，在这个仍在从90年代波斯尼亚战争和萨拉热窝围困中恢复的社会中，Zemlja 致力于通过建筑创新重建地方感、家园感和共同身份感。它提出了一个问题：重建家园能否为重建社区、城市甚至国家提供思路？

In a society still recovering from the Bosnian War and the Siege of Sarajevo in the 90s, Zemlja, located in the war-burdened Grbavica neighbourhood of Sarajevo, strives to rebuild a sense of place, home, and shared identity through architectural innovation. It raises the question: can rebuilding a home provide ideas for rebuilding a community, a city, or even a country?

Zemlja "意为 "大地"、"土地 "和 "国家"，它为通过可持续重建提供了一丝可行的希望。它体现了一种深度社会修复和愈合的整体方法，促进了可持续材料和知识的生产和使用，抵制了波黑战后不可持续的建筑做法。通过借鉴萨拉热窝的建筑历史，从根本上改变了原来被忽视的公寓，使其与市民的共同身份和复原力产生共鸣，同时整合了原来的碎片，并在材料和采购、使用和组装这些材料的人之间建立了关系。

‘Zemlja', meaning 'earth,' 'land,' and 'country,' offers a glimmer of hope for a viable alternative through sustainable reconstruction. It embodies a holistic approach to deep social repair and healing, promoting the production and use of sustainable materials and knowledge, countering unsustainable post-war building practices in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The original neglected apartment, has been radically transformed by drawing on Sarajevo's architectural history to resonate with the shared identity and resilience of its citizens, while integrating fragments of the original and forming relationships between materials and the people who source, use, and put them together.

Zemlja "几乎完全由天然材料制成。这套公寓就像一件地质工艺品，其工艺表面留下了人工雕琢的痕迹。这营造了一种感官体验和对地球的归属感。公寓使用当地木材，包括实心榉木板、橡木镶木地板和云杉窗，这些木材的价格比进口木材更实惠，不仅有助于实现循环性，还象征性地将公寓与波黑的森林联系在一起，波黑的森林覆盖率超过全国面积的 50%。

‘Zemlja' is made almost entirely from natural materials. The apartment is like a geological artefact with traces of the human hand left in its crafted surfaces. This creates a sensory experience and a sense of belonging to the earth. The use of locally sourced wood, including solid beech boards, oak parquet, and spruce windows, which are becoming more affordable than imported alternatives, not only contributes to circularity but also symbolically connects the apartment to the forests of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which cover over 50% of the country.
