Poljana Square, Šibenik

Poljana Square, which is located in an already settled system of objects, parks and an archeological site, is conceptualized as great field which changes daily through the life of the town center. Thus the plane and the square space are redefined in the active city space intended for pedestrians. Horizontal directions on the square plane established repetitions and well-trodden routes from the citizens' everyday life. The newly created square field of dots directed with the logic of town walls and Vitić's library defines the space of flexible organization. The plane thus becomes a space where two matrices overlap: classic raster and field.

The preserved original form, format and dimensions of the square enabled establishment of the optimal relation between the dynamics of the traffic and finding views which give the place additional significance. Poljana is poljana. The drawing is present in all developmental phases of the project: from the analysis of the existing condition and the directions in space which lead us to the definition of the concepts and position of raster and density of fields, through sketches and perspectives that reexamine the spatial relationships and shaping solutions, all the way to the final presentation.
