The construction principles underlying Bosnia and Herzegovina’s traditional building and the
characteristics of its modernist architecture provide a basis for a set of criteria to evaluate its
modernist heritage. The architect and town planner Juraj Neidhardt created a modernist-vernacular
glossary of Bosnian-Herzegovinian architecture and town planning, with new terms based on
analogies with concepts and spatial elements used in the past. Neidhardt’s modernism has regional
characteristics and is the earliest representation of critical regionalism in Bosnia and Herzegovina
in the 1970s. There is a real need to reconsider and conceptualize alternative approaches to the
process of revaluation of the entire material heritage of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian modernist era.
