Senada Demirović-Habibija at Kuma International Architecture Month 2021 "Living Borders".

Entitled “Living Borders. Bosnia & Herzegovina in dialogue with Palestine”, Kuma International Architecture Month 2021 brought together eight architects and researchers whose practices around Bosnia and Herzegovina and Palestine examine notions of exile, migration, and the questions of crossing and overcoming borders to further the interdisciplinary debate that critically interrogates the border-migration nexus in architectural terms.

Architecture Month Week 2 "(In)visible Borders" hosted Dr. Senada Demirovic Habibija, PhD architect from Mostar. Senada studied architecture in Morocco, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Denmark. She is employed in the city administration of the City of Mostar as an expert advisor for urban planning. From 2000 to 2003, she worked as an architect in the Mostar’s Aga Khan Trust for Culture and the World Monuments Fund office, on the reconstruction of the cultural heritage of Mostar and Herzegovina region.

In the period from 2012 to 2018, she was a curator at the Center for Architecture, Dialogue and Art ADA Mostar, and in 2019 she founded an association “Urban House IDEAA”, a laboratory that explore the important relationship between design, emotional state and spatial-social needs of the society. She is a lecturer at the University "Džemal Bijedić" Mostar in the study program "Interior Design".

From the beginning of her career until today, she has been involved in a large number of local and international projects, educational programs and conferences, and she has been the organizer of a significant number of architectural events in Mostar.
