The purpose of this multilayered and creative event is to push Sarajevo to the forefront of the debate, development, and applications of the principles and technologies of green design. Sarajevo Green Design Festival represents a platform for establishment of cooperation between creative and production industries, as well as for a transfer of know-how through student workshops. The Festival’s international lectures, debates and exhibits serve as avenues for exchange of ideas pertaining to various aspects of design.

This year’s Sarajevo Green Design Festival will discuss the possibilities of transformation of abandoned industrial zones into creative cities. Sarajevo’s Wire Factory will serve as a case study.

A very interesting workshop titled Long Life will deal with the recycling of the already recycled materials.

The Festival has prepared many lectures such as Green Future, Cultural Longevity and Social Sustainability, Technology Transfer, Green Cities and much more…
