| The location of the site along the main city street Ilica, close to an intersection, generated the conception of a dominant spatial anchor, 21st century's iconic interpolation into the layers of the complex historical development. Tha shape of the site suggested either a courtyard cluster or a continuously configured structure as appropriate. The project proposes a hybrid of these two principles, a kind of "folder" which at the urban level brings about an intermingling of public and private spheres (dwellings, offices, hotel, entertainment, leisure, retail) while also providing the spaces with maximum natural lighting and deep views. The intented, meandering spatial disposition of the perimeter opens up to a central plaza which links dominant routes to pedestrians, while the transposition of dematerialized masses generates a powerful spatial symbol. |
