Urban clues for Zagreb as Blitzableiter

OMG, reconsider rights and duties of Zagreb
as
the Blitzlight of Croatia

FTF
upside-down strategy

invest in rails,
build settlements next to the rails
by making use of plans and programs

by preserving urban standards even hoist them radically if in these bad times butbe aware that
there are no shortcuts, only steady hard work for
black swans are eager on you if you are
a bottom line managers

A clue: bottom-up strategy
percentage play
a bit of common sense and
retrofitting strategy
be JIT
act immediately - re-use

engage empathy too
you want viable cities, poignant streets - biz life

learn panoptic picture

adopt scientific approach for

comparative and statistical analysis only

Learning from Borovje

Zagreb district Borovje

pedestrian lanes still missing gentile horticultural touch, please plant trees

through the building where are shrubs, pots with flowers, more private initiative

linking settlements with vast void space
- something is missing on the both sides of the bridge
to say hallo

cheapskates in action:
missing trees at least robinia, and curb side parking

enclosures with taste and style separating denizens

pretty traditional taste

well equipped villages will provide pedestrian lanes with a strip of flower beds, shrubs next to the fence

cosy gardens on the ground level, elevated or depreciated; yet not on roof - leider

that looks comme il faut like a nice start with personal charm

but white aggressive zigzag fence is introducing private parking
strange but far more interesting than

a pavement like this obviously instigating car drivers only

nobody want to live with view on the street

At the end - the bright example a fence treated

as playing ground: green stuff dotted with children

really do you miss some color in wintertime
are we dulled by abundance of grayish cheep asphalt

but talking about the color and style

komunalci gdje je taj osjećaj za ljepotu življenja
ljepota je u metodi pokušaja i promašaja i trenutnom ispravljanju pogrešaka
što se traži
openness, clarity and sensitivity,
when path and fruit are taken as union

and not to point out an iconographic building
chained by neighboring grayish buildings that are to close
please use colors
Bunt is beautiful
but plant more trees

these buildings are not smiling

they expect the ante gardens and

appropriate focal point:

an invitation to visit Savica lakes like:

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
