Badel Block Redevelopment
SOCIOCULTURAL, PHYSICAL, AND ECOLOGICAL PROCESSES IN THE DOWNTOWN ZAGREB AREA.
DESIGN TEAM:
Alessandro Calvi Rollino, architect
Ivana Vojnic Rogic,ecologist
Micaela Tolio, collaborator
> Identity of Place, Eco-design, Ecological Planning, Landscape Ecology
We believe that land-use planning and spatial management in a city should balance not only cultural heritage, such as preserving industrial buildings and integrating the site into the rhythms of the local community, but also consider the physical and biological environment, including local biodiversity and the unique physical setting, in our case the territory between the Medvednica Mountain foothills and the Sava River’s alluvial plain. Essentially, the territory should be managed based on the fundamental ecological principle of symbiosis, or 'co-evolution,' between humans and nature. The overall landscape concept seeks to enhance the bio-physical character of the landscape, which includes Medvednica Mountain, its foothills, and the Sava River's alluvial plain, while complementing and strengthening the existing green infrastructure where Medvednica's green 'fingers' extend into the urban area, flow down the forested foothills, and approach the Sava River and its plain. In shaping the site greenery, we create scenes of distinctive perceptual qualities, selecting native species to maximise their habitat potential, as well as exotic ones which have shown to be better adapted to unfavorable urban conditions. Street trees, green spaces, and green roofs make the site more liveable, improve the ecological qualities of the city by providing cooling, shade, and cleaner air, reduce noise, enhance biodiversity, and maximise the opportunities for people to experience nature close at hand. Turning our attention to the cultural aspects, we propose to recover and reuse the on-site industrial buildings, assigning them new socio-cultural functions within a multifunctional urban concept. A vibrant city should guarantee the spatial coexistence of different social, cultural, leisure, economic functions, and environmental amenities within walking distance. By grouping different functions within a high-density complex, mobility can be improved, especially if wise political actions are taken to support public transport. The proposed model is the one that gave splendour and richness to the traditional European cities before the modern zoning undermined their essence: density, multiple uses, social and cultural diversity.
