MIT, where Ochsendorf is a professor, has the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture [1] (Harvard has a sister program [2]).
Stari Most is also a well-known tourist destination. Its destruction occurred during a war the US was involved in and its destruction, rebuilding, and symbolism in the war were widely reported in US media. [3] Today, it's popular on mainstream sites like reddit. [4]

- rurban 11y agoGreat to hear that they have special programs for that. Americans could learn a great deal from them. Regarding the Stari Most reconstruction effort I can recommend an excellent documentary by Jasmila Žbanić "Builders diary", and there are numerous more TV movies about the technical challenges there.
