Balkanization can be seen both as architecture of politics and architecture of cities. We can learn with Balkanization by mapping emerging difference, borders, islands and pixels. We can turn Balkanization into an architectural strategy as a tool for difference by learning parameters of adaptation and translating them into scripting and software. We can then Balkanize monotonous and ugly corporate architecture and design better working space. We can Balkanize European suburbia by highlighting cracks and building creative borders and islands of exciting lifestyle. We can lower European standards of boredom to make better results and small and beautiful adaptations. Balkanization can give the majority a feeling of the ruling minority. That can abolish the failed concept of the local in exchange for the Balkanized, which is more dynamic, more lively, and more beautiful.
