urban structure on an existing square designed to create inumerable urban activities and interactions
|
||||||
 The hybrid program consisted of: underground parking for 550 cars, a three part sports hall, a hotel for visiting sportsmen, a community center, a doctors' office, a shop for sports equipment, a coffee shop, a restaurant, and a city square. In addition to the required program we proposed that the roof of the building be a green roof with a slope suitable for skiing and sledging for children while their parents can supervise them from the restaurant on the roof level at the bottom of the slope. Zagreb is a flat city at the bottom of a mountain; therefore, most people drive out of the city to ski on weekends. This new sloped surface in the middle of the city is easily accessible for daily leisurely skiing and sledging.  site plan and immediate surroundings |

) The green roof offers the Zagreb people an elevated surface for picnicking and resting, a "table lawn", because people in this part of the world do not like to sit on the city ground level. ) In the nighttime, configuration of the roof and the second floor of the restaurant create a setting for an open air cinema. |

) The lounge room as a social space represents the sports hall and overlooks the new formed city square. |
 In the wintertime, the restaurant's second floor offers the optimum view of children skiing on the slope. |
