“Von Olympischer Legacy zum Nationalpark / Ein Hotel nahe Sarajevo”

Daniel Uhrig’s master’s thesis deals with the question of how the architectural legacy of past and future Olympic Games should be dealt with, especially with the repair and conversion of a hotel complex near the Bosnian city of Sarajevo that was badly damaged during the war. The work shows how one can deal intelligently and with foresight even with severely damaged buildings and what architectural spatial qualities can be created by transforming the existing and adding something new.
