In doing so, the project discloses (yet) undocumented micro-histories in Kosovo, essential to refocusing its history. This project is funded by the FWO Fundamental Research Grant and is supervised by Professor Rajesh Heynickx (Architectural Cultures of the Recent Past) and co-supervised by Professor Gis\u00e8le Gantois (Urban Projects, Collective Spaces and Local Identities).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gjiltin\u00eb Isufi (1998) is an architect and researcher from Kosovo, currently based in Belgium.
