Understanding the development of contemporary architecture requires observation within a specific territory, time frame, and social context. In conditions marked by a lack of architectural culture and systematic documentation, this process becomes a challenge that calls for a dedicated research effort. This paper presents the landscape of contemporary architecture in the Republic of Srpska from 1997 to 2023, based on research conducted for the exhibition 25 Years of (the School of) Architecture in the Republic of Srpska. Through the analysis of everyday architectural experiences, spatial perception shaped by movement through the territory, and a curatorial approach, this paper explores the complexity involved in researching and evaluating architectural production. It identifies and critically presents the most significant examples, highlighting their typological diversity, territorial distribution, and temporal dynamics, as a reflection of a society in post-transitional transformation. The research findings aim to contribute to the improvement of architectural education and the enhancement of spatial culture in the local, regional, and broader context.
