Opis
“Badel Heart” is offering the block a new urban façade, retaining continuity of the construction line, while forming an urban yard, embracing the Yeast Production Factory. The form consists of two walls, enclosing volumes with different uses. The walls are given a height relevant to the nearby buildings, while the number of floors varies. Pedestrian entrances to the inner yard are made, penetrating the walls, creating visible connections of the inner space with the street level, but also with the market and the Kvaternikov Sq.. The two protected façades are integrated to the perimeter of the form, as scenery.
The walls are treated differently, due to the fact that they face dissimilar aspects of an urban space. Through both façades, one can distinguish their structure. The direction and position of the metallic beams derive from the city’s grid around Badel block, forming its shape in different sizes.
A chimney is added, in remembrance of the block’s industrial history, creating a landmark, illuminating Zagreb’s sky and offering a panoramic view of the city.
The design suggests mixed uses accommodated in five new volumes such as concert halls, a museum, studios and workshops, a City Hotel, a housing complex, an offices complex, retail shops and a mall. The Yeast Production factory houses a Mediatheque, along with other cultural uses, workshops, exhibition spaces and a press spot. Two systems of ramps create public passages from the inner yard to the roof. Badel block is converted into a social, commercial and cultural point, playing a distinct role within the Kvaternikov Sq. area.
Compound uses along with multiple public spaces, capable of housing a wide range of social activities, improve the residents’ quality of life, while attract citizens from the whole city.
