stove(s): cooking and heating objects
self-made stoves during the war in Sarajevo
During the siege of Sarajevo and due to the lack of electricity, gas and heating in the winter time, citizens started to build wood-burning stoves of different sizes and materials. Stoves were made from aluminum pieces, of reused small or big empty food cans, pots for cooking and other materials. Many Modernist housing blocks didn’t and still don’t have chimneys, or had/have only one chimney that was not enough to warm up bigger apartments (over 60 square meters). Many citizens used windows where through the empty socket of a window a makeshift chimney was attached to a burning stove. As the siege was long and as all available trees in the cities were burned, and generally to buy wood for heating or cooking was very expensive, citizens were burning any wooden object they could find as floors, wardrobes, other furniture, toys, as well as books, shoes and clothes.

Sniper - Dalmatinska street
un-war architecture
Sarajevo is a city in a valley, and as the bombing was staged from the mountainous perimeter, any unprotected main city boulevards, intersections, and other open spaces were under constant threat of sniper shooting. Citizens started to move around their city differently, hiding from danger, walking through the buildings and in the areas that were protected from sniper fire. There were a myriad of spatial strategies employed to protect people from sniping attacks, including running across the open crossroads. Other tactical solutions included: hand written signs “ATTENTION SNIPER!”, constructing temporary high walls made from the remains of burned cars, shipping containers, metal fences, sand bags, walking next to United Nations armored cars, suspending large colored linen sheets as visual screens between buildings, and many others.
