Kosovo Developments: Kosovan buildings design
Kosovo developments – buildings & architects – Kosovan architecture information, projects: index page for South European architectural designs
New Kosovo architecture projects with building news and architectural images, plus architects background. Kosovan building news from across this disputed territory and partially recognised state in Southeastern Europe.
Take a look at the Prishtina Sports Hall design by ENOTA & OUD+ Architects. It is located next to an existing bus station which represents a recognizable landmark in the larger urban area.
Particularly noticeable is the elliptical traffic loop that runs around the bus station and defines the larger urban context. The architectural proposal maintains this relationship by positioning the building inside the elliptical traffic loop.
Finally we post the EU Pavilion design by Senat Haliti Architect, a new space for contemplation. The idea is a response to the need for an artwork that would transform a public space, reviving it.

The SADAR+VUGA proposal for the new Central Mosque of Pristina has been awarded the second prize, whereas no first prize has been selected.
The proposal deploys the most fundamental principle of the Islamic tradition, namely the sense of unity, to create a new city-level place of worship that is flexible enough to accommodate daily users and large Friday congregation.
The idea of making a structure somebody could enter into, and be surrounded by, is a response to the need for an artwork that would transform a public space, reviving it. The EU Pavilion idea came from the last stats regarding Kosovans readiness to Join EU (72%).
For us, the design solution for The Central Mosque of Prishtina has as its foundation the notion that Prishtina is a bridge between the East and The West.
Typical mosque elements like the dome, minaret, portico are incrusted in our collective memory as the expression of the Islamic religious building. We used all those elements
The building is representative on a level worthy of a Central Mosque, not only by its monumental mass, but also by its contemporary architectural quality, symbolic expression of Islamic identity and tradition.
The new Central Mosque occupies a strategic position within the extended urban centre of Prishtina. The main urban road limits two distinct, modern parts of the city here.
The main idea is to re-interpret the elements that constitute the Mosque, without pushing the limits of the already established principles of Islamic Architecture.
