Learning from Kaptol

visiting Zagreb districts: overpassing urban planning
it is not the road it is medieval funnel like square named Kaptol
(pic: Studio Hrg -  www.studiohrg.hr)

Modern movement wall screening Capitol hill from the main square 

the southern end of MM attack  a cozy restaurant serves as a buckle
splendid unbuild areas open views on the neighboring hill

public buses are  expected
ban  tourist buses from  the middle of the square 

happy coexistence: curiae, theater, friary, gastronomy soon might be flatten out 
einfach introverted, inviting entrance is on the other side
purification of La longue durée
 disrespect toward  medieval private initiative once glued  between mighty pillars

Meaning in architecture: open gates as symbols of Zagreb hospitality
this is the most fascinating gate,shaped in modest scale, leading now to the impasse ,
 crucial for future restructuring of communication lines in most broader sense

front yard of excellence in front of  the primary school
 with protective wall serving as the bench
bourgeoisie sense of  building eradication of The  Northern gate
and immense  screen in front of the  genuine city walls



confusing symbolism happily as occasional incidents

symbols of the past
homage aux Berlin
homage a la France
 present symbols of consumerism
future marching on: knowledge and tradition




Okvir ponašanja i predmet poštovanja
Result of international open architectonic competition for ZG Kaptol :
Kaptol square finally to best Kaptol-railway-station by embellishments and vaticanisationns
results for me

A Coda:
a discernible district like this must preserve/retain orientation to life delineated in:
a new  program/strategy/agenda for Kaptol
  1. retain visible limits physical and mental one
  2. rethink and invest in the main communication line -  CRO program for curiae
  3. why should people stay longer on the main square - it is not the question of embellishment
  4. intrinsic values and possibilities of the park Ribnjak are in breaking some walls
  5. cherish inhabitants and transgression - make use of Kant
  6. viable entrance and exit strategy - give us genuine message
results for others:
