The idea behind the project with the work name SWS 2015 is to enrich the southern part of Split with the urban infrastructure regulation matrix and reaffirm the possibility of merging that part of the city with the shoreline.
The location on the Split’s shoreline that the potential to accomplish a quality urban contact with the sea, the intensity of which would dramatically influence the redefining of spatial relations on a much greater scale than those defined by the competition program. A similar potential on the Split’s peninsula is possible only on the northern part of the city towards Solin, which is more suitable for designing a contemporary business zone when the need for such a program occurs.
The fundamental starting point of this project is to bring out the city to the sea in the full intensity – to be on the sea and functionally connected with the sea, in a way accomplished by today’s leading European and world cities, by implementing thoughtful and long-term policies of urban development – like Barcelona, Valencia, Rotterdam, Sidney etc.
