ECOCIETY HISTORY__

Ecociety is established in Prishtina. Our mission is to design and promote sustainable archi-tecture, combined with awareness raisin with issues of urban planning and green housing.

Our Organization aims through the use of technology to design and build differently, trying to bring changes to the city and the community.

Since 2014, the organization is hosting the EcoWeek project. This event remains the only and the most

developed event in Kosovo that encompasses the environment, sustainable architecture and urban planning in one space.

REFLECTION__

Change in cities is inevitable. How do we reflect as processes of change reach the places we know and love? How do we reflect when the changes come to our society and state? What is the role of planners, architects and designers, intervene in this process? Our involvement It is very important when the changes come to our environment. How can we learn from the past, on sustainability, on construction skills, on natural materi-als and on cultural and social background?

REFLECTION will attempt to explore a deeper understanding of the relationship between the natural to the man-made world and to provide preliminary tools for wise, sustainable decisions, in a time of significant ecological changes and challenges. Reflection is a very wide notion and everyone can interpret it differently. Just ask yourself what is your contribution for having a better environment around you?


PRISHTINA

Prishtina has a central position on Balkans. The city is surrounded by slopes on three sides, creating a topographical amphitheater situation.

The political, social and economic changes for more than two last decades in Kosova, con-tributed to the urban structure of the city. The city went through stages of restructuring, affected by different cultural and political actions, which have resulted in the loss of the spirit of the city.The postwar period (1999), is characterized by a spontaneous tendency to promote the development of private initiatives which helped mostly public spaces to be degraded, and, also affecting the degradation of the urban development.Urban development in Prishtina has been characterized by many architects as “turbo ur-banism”, meaning the total chaos dominating, as opposed to order, environmental health, security, and basic architectural aesthetic.

Germia is a regional park located in the north-east of Pristina. This mountain massif is a part of the Rhodope Mountains, which lie from the Black Mountain of Skopje to Kopaonik moun-tains. Germia’s highest point, Butos’ Peak, is 1050 meters above sea level and its lowest is 663 meters above sea level.[77] Due to its geographical position and climate conditions, Germia mountain massif has a rich fauna with 63 species of animals and a variety of about 600 species of flora.[78] In 1987, the “Germia” complex was taken under protection by Pris-tina’s Municipal Assembly in the category of the Regional Nature. In 2015 Germia is desig-nated as a protected landscape.
