As a diverse team of architects, urban planners, designers, and social researchers, we each bring our unique expertise to the table. Collaborating seamlessly, we fuel our endeavors with creativity, empathy, and innovation, always striving to make a positive impact on the world around us. At Urban House IDEAA, we are fascinated by the transformative power of design. Our keen interest lies in uncovering how thoughtful, inclusive, and sustainable design solutions can enrich the fabric of our cities and enhance the well-being of their communities. We seek to create spaces that evoke emotions, foster connections, and contribute to the betterment of society as a whole. Urban House IDEAA is not merely a space; it is a melting pot of ideas and conversations.

Bogdanovic's work was ahead of its time and his ideas continue to inspire architects and planners today. By exploring his work and concepts, "Resilient Spirits" may offer insights into how we might reimagine our cities and communities for a more sustainable and equitable future.
Overall, "Resilient Spirits: The Bogdan Bogdanovic's Hurqalya" is a project that aims to contribute to the ongoing conversation about innovative and sustainable approaches to urban design, with a focus on creating resilient and equitable communities. As part of the project "Resilient Spirits: The Bogdan Bogdanovic's Hurqalya", we will be conducting a series of workshops and activities to engage a broad audience in the conversation about innovative and sustainable approaches to urban design. The workshops will be led by experts in the field of architecture, urban planning, sustainability, and social justice, and will be designed to provide participants with hands-on experience in applying Bogdanovic's ideas and concepts to contemporary urban design challenges.
