Nationals partners are involved as well, such as INU - Italian National Institute for Urban Planners, Biennial of Public Space, International Society of Biourbanism, CNBA - National Council of Architectural Libraries, IBC - Institute of Cultural Heritage, Emilia-Romagna Region, Laboratorio di ricerca sulle città dell’Università di Bologna, Urban Center Bologna, Municipality of Bologna, Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, Cineteca di Bologna, Professional Association of Architects in Bologna, Professional Association of Engineers in Bologna, New Design Center Emilia-Romagna, Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio Bologna and Genus Bononiae. The aim of the project is the exploration and discussion of new dimensions of public realm, intended as results of research activities, through a multidisciplinary approach on public space and related topics, comparing theories and projects with advisors and correspondents from different contexts. The international conference, which takes place from June 25 to June 27, 2014 in Bologna (Italy), is intended to be a large public event, promoted and supported by City Space Architecture. WHAT IS “CITY SPACE ARCHITECTURE”? City Space Architecture is a nonprofit cultural association, founded in Bologna (Italy) in 2013, aimed to create a network of people from all over the world discussing about archi- tecture and urban design. http://www.cityspacearchitecture.org PROJECT COORDINATOR Luisa Bravo Charter Member and President of City Space Architecture, Italy SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Margaret Crawford University of California Berkeley, USA Marc Crunelle Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium Mirko Guaralda Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia Maria Hadjisoteriou University of Nicosia, Cyprus Nilly R.

Sarajevo, the Historical Syntax of a Fragmented City. Inés Aquilué Junyent Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Spain - [email protected] After the research done on fragmented cities such as Berlin or Jerusalem by well-known authors, the case study of a new fragmented urban environment is being elaborated: the reconstruction of Sarajevo, ex- Yugoslavian city and current capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The aim of the studies reported here was to identify the inclusion of collective memory in urban space after a warfare conflict. To communicate the real effect of remembrance in public spaces, devastated city is being analysed as an informational field. City overlaps layers of information, layers of history. Each layer has its own space under construction and thanks to these overlaps urban spaces build their own identity. The complex net that connects the different historical layers can be analysed through a morphological perspective, to identify the traces that produce this virtual historical map. The deepness of each trace is directly related with the process that conformed it, this is the reason of analysing spaces under conflict, in view of the fact that they suffer severe, dangerous and permanent urban effects. In this case the Siege of Sarajevo was a recent conflict that took place from April 1992 till February 1996. During almost four years the city changed completely and the present urban planning has to resolve the question of how to maintain the memory of the conflict. The Siege is an irreversible part of the history of Sarajevo and also of its urban space. In that sense the objective is to highlight which strategies are elaborated to face the inclusion of memory in a city that is not physically divided, but after the war was separated by an administrative border between the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska. The studies showed that some historical heritage has been maintained but some other has been mislead. Besides, the society of Sarajevo is elaborating a debate about the space under historical memory such as the construction of The Siege of Sarajevo Museum or the opening of the War Tunnel of Hope Museum. The debate about how to solve the problem about the spatial memory is also a debate about the sustainability of the city. Furthermore, ecology is understood as an evolution of the city that does not eradicate any of its historical layers and its deep informational traces. Sarajevo is involved in a decisive construction of its new social system extremely related with its spatial system and its borders. In addition the discussion about the social and special heterogeneity should be submitted. Keywords: Public space, places, landscape of memory. A102 - MORPHOLOGY AND DESIGN. Historic Patterns: Conservation and Sustainability. Public open spaces of historic centres as a resource for urban re-composition. G. Bertrando Bonfantini Politecnico di Milano, Italy - [email protected] The first informal calls about the cultural heritage by Horizon 2020 program address this issue to a perspective of development of European tourism. This objective has to be carefully considered and discussed. This paper aims to contrast the idea that the future of historic centres in today contemporary cities is to become ‘thematic parks’ oriented to a touristic urban economy. This idea is the epigonic legacy of a banal functionalism, the limits of whom were highlighted
