Faris Jašarević, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Faris Jašarević is a young talent who flawlessly represents the potential of Bosnian-Herzegovinian creativity. This incredible young man explores architecture through multiple layers, considering the importance of graphic representation of projects, which, in Faris’s case, is not typically pretentious but communicates through a playful and optimistic architectural language. I look forward to seeing Faris in 10 years, and I am especially encouraged by the fact that this young individual is someone who will take part in shaping the Bosnian-Herzegovinian urban landscape.

Faris is a young architect, born in Tuzla in 1999. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree at the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Sarajevo, where he also gained his first professional experiences before moving to Prague to continue his Master’s studies.

His Instagram profile @f_j_arch_dsgn is not that of a studio or workshop but rather a simple portfolio page of a young, creative architect documenting his professional and academic journey. The purpose of the page is to promote personal work and establish connections for future collaboration, shared thinking, inspiration, and development.

“The general idea behind my work is based on the reinterpretation of what I have seen and studied. Currently, I am interested in urban design and public spaces in relation to the built environment. I enjoy working on graphic expression, practicing architectural presentation, and doing it all simply, without unnecessary embellishment. The [+] sign always finds its way into my texts and graphic representations. For a while, it was just a mark, but today I prefer to use it as a symbol of the thought process.”
