Since I came to the states I met a lot of architects and, even more, construction workers from so-called former Yugoslavia. I wondered why the construction profession suffered such a high exile rate. Well, they told me - there ain't no jobs for us over there. There is no need for us.
Nobody builds there anything any more.
It's a demolition time. And that's the truth. Watching the TV I asked myself if there is any building in entire Bosnia and Hercegovina that was spared from the destructive touch of war. They hate bridges. Bridges in Bosnia in particular.
