Informal
Immobilia









In some neighborhoods around the city center of Sarajevo red brick houses grow in all kinds of vernacular forms and shapes. Since there is no official plan for the development of these urban spaces, construction takes place as and where it suits, and an informal building culture has developed. When money becomes scarce during construction the often already inhabited building ruins are left behind for an indefinite period of time.

The series Informal Immobilia is a photographic examination of the aesthetics of unregulated urban development in residential areas of Sarajevo, a typology of vernacular architecture and a photographic collection of forms.
