A decade and a half after the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the scars and traumas are still visible in the built environment. The signs of years of fighting and destruction are everywhere in evidence. Despite this, city, village and landscape are starting to recover. The numerous building projects since 1995 are a reason for hope. The act of construction is an unmistakable sign of faith in the future. Architecture is inconceivable without such optimism, without the conviction that the world will, however slightly, be the better for it. by Hans Ibelings
