Popis: Teaching sustainability and resilience on the level of both materials and structure is today's imperative for a more environmentally friendly tomorrow, but also for the enrichment of human life and preservation of historical structures. Re-examining sustainability in its reverence for pre-existing structures, conceiving projects by first taking inventory of what already exists, has become the starting point of defining research cases for students in the past few years at the Džemal Bijedić University of Mostar's Civil Engineering Faculty. The paper presents the approach developed and work done in the past several years, mainly within two subjects at the Civil Engineering Faculty. The developed methodological approach was based on the combination of the knowledge creation and case-based learning method. Case studies are always based on heritage buildings. The aim of the approach is to teach how to find an opportunity of doing more with existing structures, and argues their future use and possibilities for improvement, upgrade and re-use. Demolishment is a decision of easiness and has a major impact on the history and identity of the city and its community. Therefore, it is our task to search for various conservation approaches in order to preserve the city's layers and provide progress.
