Urban-Architectural Competition for the Design and Construction of the Central Part of the Main City Axis in Karlovac

About project

Reflections on the genesis (Jozefina and the star) define the conceptual framework. The skyscraper's orientation and form align with and tangentially touch the direction of the axis. The volumes and surfaces partly reference fragments of the star. Traffic integration is a key theme. Sarajevska and Nazorova streets are connected by a straight pedestrian corridor, while the bus station is relocated to the railway one. The garages align with the same axis, sharing underground levels. Pedestrian pathways intertwine in a safe pedestrian zone, spanning above and below ground.
