BIG SEE In Sarajevo:
Building Fast, Still Deciding
BIG SEE In u Sarajevu:
Gradimo brzo, još uvijek odlučujemo

Bosnia and Herzegovina is building at extraordinary speed. New architecture is reshaping its cities, ambitions and image, but speed alone tells us little about direction. The more important question is what kind of architectural culture is being formed while all this is happening — what values are gaining ground, what is being left behind, and what this generation will choose to carry forward. A country can change quickly without yet knowing what it wants to become. That is precisely what makes this moment worth looking at.

At the centre of the evening is Finished / Unfinished: each invited practice presents one realised project and one still in development — one showing what has survived reality, the other what can still change. Along the way, we ask: What is still worth creating? It is at the heart of BIG SEE’s annual theme UNFINISHED, asked here in Sarajevo and throughout the year to people around the world who design, build, make, question, teach, invest, commission and imagine what comes next. The evening also brings together Bosnia’s BIG SEE Perspectives and BIG SEE Winners 2018–2026 — different generations and stages within one evolving creative landscape. Their voices meet again at the BIG SEE Festival in Portorož, where the local conversation joins a wider international one.

Bosna i Hercegovina gradi se izuzetnom brzinom. Nova arhitektura mijenja njene gradove, ambicije i sliku o sebi, ali sama brzina govori nam malo o pravcu u kojem se kreće. Važnije pitanje je kakva se arhitektonska kultura oblikuje dok se sve to događa — koje vrijednosti dobijaju na značaju, šta ostaje iza nas i šta će ova generacija odlučiti ponijeti sa sobom u budućnost. Zemlja se može brzo mijenjati, a da još uvijek ne zna šta želi postati. Upravo zato je ovaj trenutak vrijedan pažnje.

U središtu večeri je Finished / Unfinished: svaki pozvani arhitektonski studio predstavlja jedan realizovani projekat i jedan koji je još uvijek u razvoju — jedan pokazuje šta je izdržalo test stvarnosti, a drugi šta se još uvijek može promijeniti. Usput postavljamo pitanje: Šta još vrijedi stvarati? To pitanje nalazi se u samom središtu godišnje teme BIG SEE-a, UNFINISHED, i postavljamo ga ovdje u Sarajevu, kao i tokom cijele godine ljudima širom svijeta koji projektuju, grade, stvaraju, propituju, podučavaju, investiraju, naručuju projekte i zamišljaju šta dolazi sljedeće. Večer također okuplja BIG SEE Perspectives iz Bosne i Hercegovine i BIG SEE Winners 2018–2026 — različite generacije i faze unutar jednog kreativnog pejzaža koji se neprestano razvija. Njihovi glasovi ponovo se susreću na BIG SEE Festivalu u Portorožu, gdje se lokalni razgovor povezuje sa širim međunarodnim dijalogom.

Why BIG SEE In?
Zašto BIG SEE In?

Good work does not travel by itself. Talent is everywhere, while access to it varies greatly. BIG SEE In exists to shorten that distance. We identify potential early, recognise strong work and bring emerging talent, award winners, established professionals, businesses, institutions, media and decision-makers into the same room, so that conversations can become collaborations, commissions, new markets or the next opportunity.

BIG SEE works locally, regionally and internationally, connecting creative intelligence across borders and helping strong local work travel further. The BIG SEE Festival in Portorož, with participants from more than 77 countries, is where those connections expand: to support our own, discover the others and see what can emerge when strong local voices meet the wider world.

Dobar rad ne putuje sam od sebe. Talenat postoji svuda, ali pristup njemu veoma se razlikuje. BIG SEE In postoji kako bi smanjio tu udaljenost. Rano prepoznajemo potencijal, ističemo kvalitetan rad i okupljamo mlade talente, dobitnike nagrada, afirmisane profesionalce, kompanije, institucije, medije i donosioce odluka na jednom mjestu, kako bi razgovori mogli prerasti u saradnje, angažmane, nova tržišta ili sljedeću priliku.

BIG SEE djeluje lokalno, regionalno i međunarodno, povezujući kreativnu inteligenciju preko granica i pomažući kvalitetnom lokalnom radu da stigne dalje. BIG SEE Festival u Portorožu, sa učesnicima iz više od 77 zemalja, mjesto je na kojem se te veze šire: kako bismo podržali svoje, otkrili druge i vidjeli šta može nastati kada snažni lokalni glasovi susretnu širi svijet.
