Learning from Staro Trnje


Trnje most exposed part of Zagreb left bank

a gate
 a harbour
   a village
      a dormitory
people willing to stay /leave  =  dawn/dusk of tradition

lest  a symbol of ZG prospect


part one:   most obvious one,  Tempel of  Amun Re



universal prescription for everything concerning architecture and urbanism  incl.   attitude, scale and respect

glass   justifies pretext of coupling virtual couples in Mr.Struka mind
scale  is the scale of social awareness and deep care for human nature under the sun


part2: symbolic values of Zagreb bridges  specially  next to or inside the recreational areas
Bridge of freedom  Most slobode connecting the braves
SRC Jarun is expecting the same  :(
entrepreneurial Zagreb,  go to Trnje, invest in new Tkalčićeva street
!

get Zagreb in your heart


scope of present generators of change

or the old school missing childern

immanent potentials due to proximity to river Sava 



/
starting point or  fresh-start in modern style
new dormitory  or  entrance Sava

wintertime in the city

December 2012 in Zagreb 
waiting for snow to come 
many leaves are down  but snow is missing 

with Konzum basket in his hand choosing shortcut
Gajnice paradise of concatenated public parks
 finally  ADVENT in Zagreb, 
 city lights too late but better than ever 
Nikola Tesla monument   pastry at zagreb gelateria 
Musical pavilion Zrinjevac
main square  Jelacic with symbols of the past and future 
jelacic square 
transient life of Jelacic square, look who is talking
starting point ilica  street 
flower square new kid in town
unplugged  subtle Garnierung is missing
Gajeva street in blue, scent of Zimt

talking about Art and Religion
 persuading an purpoted egyptian

tree power


Zagreb green city
in tune with nature


panacea for all corporate hurts:   give tree a hug
dunno what to do                       plant a tree






there's always a light behind the bars 
urban practice in Zagreb ad hoc fostering continuum 



Zagreb tradition:
a sets of concatenating public parks modeling urban structure of Zagreb
up to detailed single tree protection:

highly prominent site  has distinguished  stairs leading up to the Tree


less luck in choosing the site but simply adored by fellow citizens

more luck  new builging stepped back because of the tree
a cosy caffe find his place here too
