A Project Proposal
Introduction
„Ecollages BIH“ is a concept that integrates multifunctional aspects of design and
environmental considerations. The design concept we would like to create now and present
as BiH brand is a simple design, affordable, and adapted to local conditions. Our method is
based on design innovation and choice of materials. Our plan is to design products that can
follow new customer requirements. We think if we take care about rational resources and
materials using ultimately eco-design strategies we can bring more sustainable production
and consumption. Therefore, eco-design is an important prevention measure and important
part of environmental pollution prevention strategies. Responsibility for the Ecollages is an
opportunity to focus more closely on eco-living issues here after war destruction and
postwar recovering. From our perspective, it is an exciting time with the current
development of our first Strategic Plan and the people we are going to represent. One focus
we would especially like to pursue in our Strategic Plan is the Ecollages Lab where we will
present our new concepts. Our goals and what we have in mind to promote outcomes in eco
living areas has already provided many opportunities in synergy. For the past year with
Ecollages project organizators and coordinators have been working to establish a develop a
positive sense of sustainable design and architecture. Thus far, our project has been funded
/at first two stages/ by project organizers. Our diversity in terms ages and profiles
contributes to the reality that all efforts are at the heart of our project goals. Our strategies
serve as catalysts for long-term community investment.
The project will serve three goals:
1) Make new concepts of design and architecture
2) Build and rebuild devastated placed and towns
3) Create a working space for talents /Ecollages Lab, website and schools/.
The Project
Beginning of June 2011, the entire community became aware of the new project
www.ecollages.net on the internet. Through this site we have created, all innovative
students would have an opportunity to ask questions and volunteer to play an integral part
in the all building process. The 2012 year we have worked more on different and interesting
pieces as parts of this project. The newsletter and site gave us opportunity to publicly
represent our best practices and people, thank to our donors, community leaders, and
organizations for their help in developing and producing a new place where we can show our
best of designs and plans.

ECOLLAGES.NET
Partnership with You and request for funding
This project is very important and unique. We need a support to make it possible.
We are requesting financial grant /support of 10.000 BAM for two years period /our first
year founded by organizers and for the future years we searching for financial support/ .
I am more than happy to meet with you at your earliest convenience to discuss the
project, and the possibility of partnership in future.

THE PROJECT

ECOLLAGES.NET
P R O J E C T S U M M A R Y
Eco-design project incorporates environmental factors at every phase of product
development and reduces negative environmental impacts throughout the product life cycle.
Ultimately, eco-design can bring more sustainable production and consumption. Eco-design is not
a specific method or tool, but a way to think and analyze; it is not a separate action, but part of the
whole product design process. We endeavour to provide the solution for product-related
environmental issues at the design phase, the beginning part. Thus negative environmental
impacts will be reduced or prevented by improving product design or redesigning. Therefore, eco-
design is an important prevention measure and important part of environmental pollution
prevention strategies. From a wider perspective, eco-design includes technology design as well as
product planning and management, which covers related process of suppliers and supply chain
management.
Eco-design procedure includes the following aspects:
• to analyze related legal requirements & standards and relationship among investment,
production, consumption and utilization;
• to analyze and differentiate important environmental factors and relative other factors
throughout the products’ life cycle;
• to design and develop in terms of quantitatively or qualitatively;
• to retrospect and finish the evaluation.
B A C K G R O U N D
Increased industrialization in BiH has brought a significant positive and negative apsects in
the building construction. In one hand local customs, skills and information for safe and natural
materials often are inadequate. Lack of familiarity with sustainable designs and architecture
means that local populations behave inappropriately in case of protection of healthy living,
environment in general, future expanding and growing in this field. Consequently, the risk of
wrong or poor planning during the project preparations has also increased in both industrialized
and developing areas in country. „Mass destruction and post war reconstruction” that happen in
longer period of time - from 1991-2005 - created very bad demographic and urban picture of BiH
cities with very much destroyed natural environment. In sake of protection and better planned
living so people are not to be seen as “easy” targets for new companies that would like to buld
houses with less quality and standards in designs and style; this project offer a base spot for the
future better understanding of healthier living.
This proposal has already been discussed with the USAID project managers, and it might
be in a good position to share its experiences in the the country.
This project will be built on the expertise drawn from designs and architects from BiH or
some developed countries that have advanced in this area such as Switzerland, Canada, United
States and the Netherlands.

THE SUSTAINABILITY

ECOLLAGES.NET
Sustainable management in design, architecture and economy requires much more
efficient measures for strengthening the productive function, maintenance and promotion of
generally useful functions of all materials, resources and plans, natural protected, regeneration of
degraded areas, monitoring, scientific and research work, education of human resources about a
project and details as we are presenting here.
The intensive exploitation of natural resources, highly polluting technologies that resulting
degradation of environment did not offer chances for balanced development and did not open the
prospects for sustainable development of Bosnia and Herzegovina. There are many cases of
excessive construction of housing and business facilities, roads and other infrastructure, petrol
stations, power plants, telecommunications, electric power, or water supply. There is no exchange
of professional and expert information (advice and instructions), management, strategy, policy of
support in form of guaranteed prices and uniform business sector policy. Likewise, information
system, educational, scientific and professional institutions, legislation, and standardised plans and
programmes are also lacking. The BiH villages have virtually disappeared, this deflating the motive
of refugees and displaced persons to return to their farming estates. The most significant jobs for
domestic contractors were and are those in the area of building facilities (devastated or new).
Most of the domestically produced constructions are even today less cost-efficient buildings and
dissipate a lot of energy. The imperative drive is to find a good solution for as little money as
possible. Solutions we have here give us only illusive and short-term effects - cheaper
construction, which subsequently requires far more expensive maintenance and are below the
minimum European standards. This project could subsequently become economically self-
sustainable, if we keep 50% of the savings we invested into the continuing stages of its
implementation. This project could prove significant from the point of view of new job openings if
people are willing to learn more, and its effects would be soon felt. The long-term economic and
social results, development of domestic manufacturers of building materials and especially
insulation materials would be seen very soon and is very much advisable from the environmental
perspective, too. Those forms of passive heating (solar energy) are recommended and do not need
large investment. The housing and construction schemes (and tax policies as well) should support
and stimulate the use of domestic materials and materials that are not harmful for health and
environment.
Sustainable development and combating poverty
Sustainable development of a country represents a set of measures that have for their aim
the improvement of the material and social position of the population. It is to be achieved through
legislative, educational, stimulating and the appropriate strategy /programme for setting
sustainable development in motion.
The Dayton Accords helped in establishment of a new BIH system, initiated the activities
on the normalization of life and opened up a process of transition, democratization of life and
institutional structures of the system of governance. The notion of transition implies changes in
the field of social relations, legislative, political and economic system. The causes of the current
poor financial standing of great many people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, who live in poverty or on
the edge of poverty, are very complex, as has been shown by many analyses. Under such
conditions, both problems are very important: economic and the environmental. It seems that is
not difficult to show that the causes of poverty and the causes of environmental degradation are
the same, at least in part – like excessive utilization of resources. New and fresh ideas that will
save/prevail and create much higher standards of human living and in general human surviving are
needed more then ever.

ECOLLAGES.NET
Recommendations for the Eco housing and positive impact
Find a building contractor, who will follow our Ecollages Project and
• Locate a "green building" professional through our Green Building Council
Directory.
• Access the Sustainable Building Ecollages BIH Sourcebook and/or Green Building
Concepts for information about building an environmentally - friendly home
/houses we will suggest/. Peruse links for books on building green.
• New Home Location: In case of consideration of building a new home, seek out a
location around towns-cities in BIH with the best structure.
• Energy Efficient Mortgages: Create loans options and contracts with banks so
people can borrow extra money to pay for energy efficient upgrades to current
home or a new or old home that you plan to buy or redesign.
• Building Materials: Building material ideas /see straw bale, true (natural) linoleum,
previously used wood, cob for Cob Cottage, and EcoBusiness-Cob Building,
composite decking, etc./.
If you are looking to buy or sell a green home, check out our future Ecollages List.
