L e t Zagreb B r e at h e CONNECTION RENEWAL BETWEEN THE SAVA RIVER AND URBAN INHABITATED SPACES THROUGH ECOLOGICAL REVITALISATION OF SPACE - PETRUŠEVEC SETTLEMENT IN THE CITY OF ZAGREB The plan is a part of a broader idea at the entire city scale. Inside this idea, the connection of existing and future high-quality green areas is considered. This way a high-value green corridor grid would be created passing through the city. Which would create “breathability” inside a dense urban infrastructure. Provide higher air quality for the inhabitants and elevate the quality of life by providing a chance for psychological regeneration and a life rhythm that breathes easier.

T he ro l e o f p l ayg r o u n d e n vi r o nme nt s i n a f f ecti ng chi l dre n’s pl ay Thesis When considering the contemporary way of perceiving children play the problem of diverse opportunity proportion between spaces where it is realized has been recognized. Raising on that learning this report tends to examine more closely the relationship between how a child perceives an environment in which play takes place and the up-to-date guides in creating an environment like that. To get these results a survey has been conducted in the form of alternative perspective sections of the environment where the play takes place every day. To alternate between sections a differing amount of natural, semi-natural, and traditional elements are used in creating them. By carrying out the survey there were some interesting results recognized, along with new questions about the matter. By analyzing the survey it has been discovered that kids elect spaces not only relying on the specter of activity they want it to provide but also by numerous other factors like their mood, the sway of their coevals, the longing for new experiences, the Ambiental value according to their individual judgment, etc. As a guide

for creating such spaces which will leave beneficial marks on not only their development but also their memory, it is of paramount importance to include their own selves. The photo simulations have been produced to try and get an insight into the preferences towards play spaces from kindergarten children. A questionary was broth forth to the employees of the facility. And later a questionnaire and an interview using visual experience and open-ended answers from children were conducted resulting in insight into the specter of parameters thought which children choose the type and form of play in space. To achieve real and development potential rich play it is necessary to further develop the tools to include children in “envisioning” the space that is designed for them. A space that would include active and passive participants, observation, various age groups, and a spectrum of exploratory, passive, cooperative, constructive, motoric, and other activities.
B r o w nf i e l d r e vi ta l i z ati on g u i de l i ne s – ci t y of z ag re b case study Master degree thesis The term brownfield is first used as a reaction towards a complex problem of appearing problematic urban zones that do not comply with their surroundings when it comes to the potential they can deliver to the city and its inhabitants. This work strives to get a view into different perspectives of the term brownfield and the role which revitalization of those areas has in fulfilling the broader plans of and for the city. By analysis of worldwide case studies in which the revitalization is based on creating multifunctional open spaces, this work strives to form a review of numerous factors that determine them. Such as: political, economic, social, professional, and environmental.
In the end, the attention was turned towards the city of Zagreb. The analysis showed that a lot of brownfield locations can be integrated into the everyday lives of the inhabitants and they have the potential to become successful revitalized areas. In that sense, general guidelines were set to encourage the carry out of those processes, while 3 detailed locations were selected and analyzed in detail. After which detailed guidelines were set for them.
Contemporary urban guidelines emphasize that public facilities, open public, and green areas represent one of the main structural elements of quality urban living. But in contemporary cities like Zagreb, brownfield areas as a product of urban evolvement and maturity represent one of few locations with the potential to fulfill those guidelines and criteria.
To mitigate this problem and produce results when it comes to brownfield revitalization into public spaces, stopping the uniformed model and uniformed space usage the work suggests guidelines such as: involvement of professions such as urban psychology, urban ecology, sociology, landscape architecture, and similar professions, generating the green infrastructure study of Zagreb, expansion of the existing brownfield register with GIS base of data on history, architectural, economic, landscape, ecological, socio-demographic, transportation, spatial, land pollution, and other analysis. Also suggested are ecological remediation, better and stronger triangle bond between (government - non-governmental organizations - inhabitants), consider the revitalization in the context of the city tissue with continuity or replenishment of needed uses, transparency on location info. and the use of contemporary ecological landscape sustainable design. With those general guidelines of which all were expanded on in detail, more precise guidelines were set for the chosen locations for green infrastructure integration and open public space formation.
Through the analysis of selected examples, a view has been formed on the situation and the parameters which were used for these locations to become publicly available spaces. Those spaces then strengthen the identity and the value of living inside a city for all its inhabitants. Some of the problems that stop Zagreb from integrating such changes were encountered and they are: Inadequate conducting of strategic plans and documents, unexisting and uncomplete urban regeneration plans, incomplete and shallow brownfield registers, uniformed models of revitalization, the negation of the intrinsic value of the locations, heritage value deterioration, high dependency on private financing, inadequate professional diversity.

strate g i c a pproach to g e ne rati ng a spatial pl an A Strategic approach to placing planned land use/operations inside municipality area
This project included an unconventional approach to generating the spatial plan for the municipality of Donji Kraljevec. A suggestion plan was formed taking into account planned infrastructure to arrive in the next plan amendment. This strategic approach is optimal because a specter of criteria is taken into account and it strives towards optimal locations for planned infrastructure before their implementation into a more detailed plan. Social and economic development represents a precondition to eliminating the existing weaknesses and the use of all future potentials of the municipality. Prior to finding a location for the placement of a use a vision, mission, and strategic goals have to be set along with the conduction of various natural and anthropologic morphology analyses. All this with a goal to recognize the given features of the area and its values. The planning process is based upon the
vision of development as a pivotal point set in regards to chosen values of the given space. In accordance with a said vision formed after analyzing the existing spatial plan documentation of the county and municipality strategic gals were set as a base for integration of the given infrastructure and land uses. The main goal is to develop the municipality and preserve its values. The aforementioned has given way to the production of a conceptual plan for feasible space placement of said uses. After consulting with previously produces suitability models for each use and additional criteria formed through spatial analysis the initial idea was revised and exact locations for placement were produced. Along with the mentioned for each location, a set of guidelines were provided for better management in each phase from construction to function. 43

First prize
The Logomark/type is formed out of 4 repeated aligned signs equally distanced from each other. They represent the four letters of LASA (Landscape architecture student association) in Croatian USKA (udruga studenata krajobrazne arhitekture). Each sign is gained from a separate square whose parts were taken out to form empty space that outlines each letter. On the first square by pulling a line to the middle and chipping away the edge the letter U has been created. The second square has been cut through with a curvilinear swipe forming a shape resembling an abstract form of a meandering river and at the same time of a letter S. It also symbolizes innovation and creativity in Landscape architecture. The third square contains a line that breaks at a right angle representing order and discipline inside the profession, also it represents the letter K. The last signs and its empty spaces form the letter A along with a recognizable shape of an abstract tree. Standing one next to the other the letters S and K represent two different design languages and styles in landscape architecture and the relation between sharp geometric lines and organic free stroke forms. They also represent the unavoidable, unbreakable, and continuous bond between landscape and architecture. The first and the last letter are spun and reflected and therefore close the composition of the logo mark and turn it into a whole. The color variants of this logomark in which the first sign is colored in brown (137,100,39 RGB) represents the earth and fertility, the blue represents confidence and intelligence (28,125,170), grey represents formality (119, 120,122) while green represents ecological awareness, renewal, nature, and harmony (66,82,33). 50
