Business Center in Kobilja Glava Settlement in Sarajevo by Architect Ahmet Hadrovic

The author of this paper made (1996) the urban project of the center of the Kobilja Glava settlement, which provided for a number of business, cultural, religious and memorial contents. Also, the Author completed the projects of all the individual buildings, only one of which (the hotel) was not realized due to the death of the client of the hotel.

The main contents of the “Urban project of the Kobilja Glava settlement center in Sarajevo” are:

-    Adil Bey’s Mosque with a cultural and business center,

-    Elementary school with sports hall,

-    Extended stay for younger students,

-    Central Square with the Monument to the Bosnian Martyr,

-    Cultural Center Kobilja Glava,

-    A number of business buildings (department store, bakeries, butchers, cafes, shops, hotel),

-    Mail,

-    Infirmary,

-    Pharmacy.

All the listed buildings have been realized (except for the hotel). The author's effort to give each object an identity is noticeable, in the way of shaping each object individually (as if it were in an open space), but also in the way of respecting the fact that each individual object is part of a larger whole in which it must be in harmony with neighboring buildings and with the whole. Some of these projects were presented to the public by the author through works published in international journals.
