Kalenic Pijaca
In solving the problem of the Kalenic market, two points of view determined the course of action: what the market is today with all its complex positive and negative aspects and what it should become. And further, consequently - what is it that needs to be kept and preserved, and how to incorporate it into the new vision.
The need to preserve the character and spirit of the market appeared as a key factor in setting up the concept - because the market is not just a place for simple commodity-money exchange, in the market shopping becomes a ritual and the market itself a place of meeting and communication. As a key factor in setting up the concept, the need to preserve the character and spirit appeared in markets. Because the market is not only a place of simple goods and money exchange, at the market shopping becomes a ritual and the market itself a place of meeting and communication. The market tract towards Viška Street is also specific in the urban concept, which becomes part of the newly planned plateau - the square. The opposite front of the square is defined by a perforated panel that connects the existing residential buildings and transforms the entire ground floor into a space for public use. In contrast, the upper floor becomes a terrace - a place for gardens, playgrounds, etc. The tract in Njegoševa Street represents the second dominant design unit of the market. Towards Viška Street, it begins as a canopy and develops into a full tract that ends as the dominant spatial element of the corner square. On the second floor, the roofs of these independent units become green terraces for rest covered with canvas canopies.
