urban rule no.1 - protect general picture

general picture is general impression i.e. collective  - an anchor to be
it resides in the memora  it is Gestalt

protect roofs with red tiles in CBD   

crveni krovovi ocrtavaju granice povijesnog centra grada

frameworks for: polishing the city

which way are you going my friend

Ma'at or bottom lined urbanism:

kojim putem ići   what is first in urbanism:
moral, just, fair, equitable, supportive to general order or balance
economics, accumulation, gain, net profit

kažu da je prvo ona Ma'at odredila čvrstu točku u kaosu,

refining solid ground means detecting where do we come from,
what we are and what we have, what do we know and what are we willing to do to make a change 

naravoučenje: i.e. start form yourself
urbanotvornim redom do reda ali i reda u vlastitoj glavi 
refine urban rules to refine standpoints of an architect

dakle za Novi Zagreb i za zelena naselja iz 1980. a potom i za cijeli Zagreb 
For Zagreb,  follow the clues of the past,

CIAM principles to polish present green cities 
for tomorrow 

Zagreb urban grow limits are green 
sve lepo zeleno,
cvetićem si ti meni ograjeno

slow city*  to re-city the city

but in tune with broader picture that has something to do with ethics and ethnos
with local knowledge & sentiments: 

reconstruct: refurbish,  rehabilitate, reanimate, reinterpret, re-connect, re-urbanize  or
wait for

gdje je taj osjećaj za ljepotu življenja

ljepota je u metodi pokušaja i promašaja i trenutnom ispravljanju pogrešaka

što traži

openness, clarity and  sensitivity, 

when path and fruit are taken as union

urban rules: genuine inner logic of the city

architectural method - vivid streams of irking cultural context: from inside out 
testimony that at the end  ZG life is on the street 

da djelatna etika i moral postoje izvan okvira obožavanja Moderne ne bi bilo slobode zatrpavanja i nadvisivanja blokovskog reda. Službeno radi se o fakat konsolidiranom i ambivalentnom bloku

consolidated by  jin and jang interplay

this is ZG downtown too  it is still semiopen public space  with lot of potentials

urban renewal: case study Cvjetni trg

Ethics  of architecture

as help from above:  spot values of ethics in architecture 

s druge strane medalje,  koja je sada najetičnija zgrada na Trgu

 average hight prosječni vs pretežiti  overwhelming

cvjetni

more than mere common sense 
obey primordial and than contextual rules:
1. look for mayor focal point, 
2. find gist from orientation
3. find any common prospect

more then  preserving life, streaming - pedestrian lanes

ad personal touch - styling
it hurts but what about  audience:
  is this square for kids and flanneurs anymore

A caveat: is Block Badel to be new Flower square

Questions to reconsider in Block Badel: main entrance or new communication hab,
missing public space: paths, stairs, arcades, centres of activities, public spaces inside the block
considering form: groundscaper or skyscraper
ZG styling imposing harmony to different styles and hights,
new abundant multi level greenery,
IN SHORT make a blok  a city per se

that the sole reason for detailed urban plan
