After communism and years of war and due to a lack of regulation the country looks nowadays like a continuous urbanization with no properly legible and intelligible structure.

LANDSCAPE
Our research is focused on the plateau as it is the most built and sprawled zone. A wide range of vegetables and cereals are cultivated and stand next to small scale forest, giving an impression of a very green zone. This is of importance for the collective mental image of the country as it is perceived as an agricultural and green country and absolutely not as a built and infrastructured area.
