Cjelokupnu projektno tehničku do-

izradila je Radionica Arhitekture iz
Zagreba, a glavni projektant je prof.
Goran Rako.
Centar je prepoznatljiv po specifič-

od pet etaža. Od toga dvije etaže
nalaze se pod zemljom i u njoj su
smješteni garažni prostori. Na osta-

Cascade ima i tzv. „zeleni krov“, na čanima ponuditi i okrjepu u nekima

ćem i cvijećem, a koji prekriva niže
etaže centra. On prekriva prostorije
na nižim etažama centra, a može se
vidjeti iz Tkalčićeve ulice.
Trgovački centar Cascade je ime
dobio zbog svog specifičnog ka-
skadnog izgleda koji podsjeća na
obližnje stube koje spajaju Tkalčiće-
vu ulicu s Gornjim gradom. Za razliku
od velikih centara koji se u zadnje
vrijeme otvaraju na periferiji grada,
Cascade je smješten u srcu metro-
pole i na samo je nekoliko minuta
hoda udaljen od glavnog zagrebač-
kog trga. To odražava trend prisutan
u zapadnom svijetu, pozicioniranje
10
od najopremljenijih i najuređenijih
barova i restorana.
Trgovački centar Cascade spoj je
tradicije, suvremene arhitekture,
ugodne kupovine, vrhunske gastro-
nomije i atraktivnog noćnog života.
To ga čini posebnim i zbog toga se
izdvaja od većine preostalih zagre-
bačkih trgovačkih centara. Nedvoj-
beno je da će popularni up-scale
brandovi, ali i mnogobojni dodatni
sadržaji poput banke, ljekarne, ke-
mijske čistione ili pak dizajnerskih stu-
dija privući velik broj građana željnih
kupovine u ugodnom, opuštenom
ambijentu.
Dodatna atrakcija centra Cascade
je šetnica koja ga spaja s obližnjim
Centrom Kaptol. Spojem ta dva
centra posjetiteljima je omogućeno
nesmetano kretanje između ta dva
centra, a Tkalčićeva ulica postala je
prava shopping-aleja. Projekt je rea-
liziran na zemljištu u vlasništvu Zbora
prebendara, koji je investitoru dao
koncesiju na 99 godina. U čast pre-
11
 bendarima koji su na tom području
obitavali od 14. stoljeća, dio centra
zadržat će ime Prebendarski vrtovi.

Izgled centra prilagođen okolnim

zgradama
Posebna briga tijekom gradnje Cas-
cade vodila se o tome da se ne na-
ruši izgled stare gradske jezgre. Iako
je građen uz pomoć najsuvremeni-
jih građevinskih znanja i tehnologi-
ja, arhitekt Goran Rako ističe da je
to prava tradicionalna građevina,
ali s elementima 21. stoljeća. Sama
bit izgleda centra i šetnice koja će
se nalaziti u sklopu njega proističe iz
onoga što ga okružuje, a to su moti-
vi prebendarskih vrtova, gliptoteka i
stube koje vode na gornji grad.
Fasada će biti od crvenkaste filtri-
rajuće cigle koju su preporučili sami
zaštitari spomenika kulture kako bi se
cijeli objekt što bolje uklopio u oko-
liš koji ga okružuje. Ovakva fasada
odabrana je jer najviše sliči obližnjoj
zgradi Gliptoteke koja je cijela nači-
njena od cigle. S druge strane, ovaj
tip fasade ima vrlo visok rok trajanja
tako da će ona s godinama ostati
očuvana.

Centre of the City

 the Zagreb Architecture Workshop, and Professor Go-
ran Rako was the main architect. The shopping centre
is recognizable for its specific terrace-like structure that
consists of five levels. The first two levels are below the
ground, and they feature garage spaces. The rema-
ining three above-ground levels feature stores, coffee
shops for buyers, and other features like a multifuncti-
onal hall-room, walking paths, offices, business and
service premises. The physical merger of two shopping
centres – Cascade and Kaptol Centre – with a two-level
walking path will create the very first shopping area in
the centre of Zagreb that will provide the buyers with an
opportunity to find all relevant features, from shopping
to having a pleasant walk, in one location and in a short
period of time.

A Hybrid Shopping Centre

Cascade provides a fresh and entirely new concept of
a hybrid lifestyle shopping centre, which provides an op-
portunity for numerous other activities besides shopping
for al generations. That is because hybrid architectonic
solutions imply combinations of firm architectonic struc-
tures with living sections like parks, and an unavoidable
layering of buildings provides an ethereal look for the
whole structure with an opportunity to see into the inside
of the building without physically entering the centre. In
addition to its ethereal structure, Cascade also posse-
sses a so-called “green roof”, which features a park with
trees and flowers. It covers areas in lower floors of the
centre, and will be clearly visible from Tkalčić Street.
Shopping centre Cascade received its name becau-
se of a specific cascade look that is reminiscent of the

Unlike most large shopping centres that have

lately been opened in suburbs of various ci-
ties, Cascade is located in the heart of our
nation’s capital, just several walking minutes
away from the main Zagreb square. This re-
flects the established trend in the Western
world, as most luxurious shopping centres are
positioned in city centres

S hopping centre Cascade spreads across

17.831,00 square metres of well-shaped
surface that directly continues into the
pedestrian zone at Tkalčić Street, which
is one of the oldest streets in the centre of
Zagreb. Due to its appearance, the cen-
tre presents a combination of modern and sophistica-
ted architectonic solutions with a long tradition that is
evident in the very centre of the city – Kaptol and Gornji
Grad.
The entire architectonic and technical documentation
for the shopping-centre construction was created by
14
nearby stairway that connects Tkalčić Street with Gornji
Grad. Unlike most large shopping centres that have la-
tely been opened in suburbs of various cities, Cascade
is located in the heart of our nation’s capital, just seve-
ral walking minutes away from the main Zagreb square.
This reflects the established trend in the Western world,
as most luxurious shopping centres are positioned in city
centres.
Architect Goran Rako designed a shopping centre in
picturesque Tkalča that will allow citizens to spend time
shopping while also enjoying a panoramic view over
the historic part of Zagreb. In addition to shopping in a
luxurious ambience, Cascade will offer the citizens of
Zagreb some well-deserved refreshment in some of the
city’s most stylish and equipped bars and restaurants.
Shopping centre Cascade is a combination of traditi-
on, modern architecture, pleasant shopping, top-qua-
lity gastronomy and attractive nightlife. These elements
make it truly special and allow it to stand out from most
remaining Zagreb shopping centres. There is no doubt
that the popular up-scale brands, as well as numero-
us other elements like banks, drugstores, dry-cleaning
stores and design studios will attract a large number of
citizens to enjoy shopping in a pleasant and relaxed en-
vironment.
The additional attraction in the Cascade Centre co-
mes in the form of a walking path that connects it to
the neighbouring Kaptol Centre. A physical connection
of these two centres will allow the buyers to freely wan-
der between the two buildings, while also transforming
Tkalčić Street into a true shopping area. The project was
created on a parcel owned by the Prebendar Church

Council, which provided the investor with a concession

for a period of 99 years. In honour to this council that in-
habited this part of Zagreb since the fourteenth century,
a section of the centre will retain the name Prebendar
Gardens.

The Centre’s Look Adjusted to the Surrounding Buildings

While designing and constructing Cascade Centre, spe-
cial attention was given to the effort of not disrupting
the aesthetical harmony of the old city centre. Although
it was built with top-modern technologies and construc-
tion methods, architect Goran Rako points out that this
is a true traditional building, albeit with elements of the
21st century. The very essence of how the centre and
the accompanying walking path look is reflected in the
surrounding elements, which feature motifs of Preben-
dar gardens, gliptotheques and stairs that lead to Gornji
Grad.
The facade will be made of reddish filtrating bricks,
which was recommended by conservators of cultural
monuments in order to blend the object into the surro-
unding scenery as successfully as possible. This type of
facade was chosen because of its striking resemblance
to the nearby Gliptotheque building, which is entirely
made of bricks. On the other side, this type of facade is
very durable, and guarantees to remain intact for years
and years.

dc INTERVJU

Intervju: TONY CETINSKI

Sve što radim je odraz mog duha. Tempera-

ment i energija je sigurno dio toga. Sada kad
poslušate klasični album koji snimam vidjet
ćete da sam namjerno ostavio temperament
da samo proviruje, a u prvi plan stavio emo-
cionalnu energiju i dubinsku ljubav koju imam
prema glazbi, mirnoću koju nalazim u glazbi i
zrelost koju sam dobio godinama

T

reba li Tonyiju Cetinskom uopće pisati

uvodnik u intervju, jer uvodnik uglav-
nom podrazumijeva predstavljanje!? U
svojih nedavno napunjenih četrdeset
godina uspio je ostvariti, ako ne sve, a
onda barem puno u svojoj glazbenoj
karijeri. Brojne diskografske nagrade, koncerti za koje se
traže ulaznice više i nagrađivani albumi. Tony Cetinski
pripada skupini „najboljih“. Poznajem ga kroz svoju no-
vinarsku karijeru godinama i kada bih ga u četiri riječi
morala opisati zvučale bi otprilike ovako: temperamen-
tan, jednostavan, duhovit i nenametljiv. I da, mi žene
itekako vrištimo na njegovim koncertima jer Tony pjeva
kao slavuj!

DC: Trenutno pripremate album na s klasičnom glaz-

bom. Kako ste došli na tu ideju?
Album je to koji radim iz gušta i bez ikakvog presinga.
Nisam si zadao ni vremenske ni diskografske, a ni tržišne
ili financijske okvire i nevjerovatno koliko zapravo uživam
u toj situaciji. Na albumu će se naći uglavnom poznate
talijanske kancone i poneka arija, dakle glazba uz koju
sam odrastao prije nego sam se zaljubio u AC-DC. Sam
sam radio izbor pjesama, a na njemu će se naći i dvi-
je autorske pjesme za koje je tekst napisao Talijan Italo
Stabile. Sve ih je orkestrirao poznati producent i dirigent
John Cameron. Neću baš sve otkriti, ali radi se o posla-
stici. Album će se zvati Da capo, što bi glazbenim riječ-
nikom značilo iz početka.

DC: Jednom ste rekli da je vaša glazba odraz vašeg

duha. Znači li to da temperament i energiju koju vidimo
na sceni zapravo odražava vaš karakter?
Sve što radim je odraz mog duha. Temperament i ener-
gija je sigurno dio toga. Sada kad poslušate klasični al-
bum koji snimam vidjet ćete da sam namjerno ostavio
temperament da samo proviruje, a u prvi plan stavio
emocionalnu energiju i dubinsku ljubav koju imam pre-
ma glazbi, mirnoću koju nalazim u glazbi i zrelost koju
sam dobio godinama.
DC: Vaša priča o uspjehu je nije oduvijek bila laka. Pe-
njali ste se polagano, bilo je i padova, no uspjeli ste steći
16
status neprikosnovenog glazbenika. Što je ono što je u
ovih dvadesetak godina karijere bilo presudno da us-
pijete?
Baš tako je moralo biti. Polagano, ali temeljito, osjetiti
plafon i pod. Za uspjeh je potreban talent, puno rada,
upornosti, ljubavi i zrno sreće.
DC: Biste li nedavna dva dana koncerta u zagrebačkoj
Areni nazvali krunom vaše karijere?
Najbolje od svega je da u posljednjih pet godina sve što
napravim nazivaju krunom moje karijere To nesumnjivo
postavljam granice
znači da stalno idem prema naprijed. To je možda samo
trenutni doseg moje karijere. Krunu još ne želim, imam
još puno toga za dati glazbi, pa želim da je i kruna još
daleko.
DC: Je li teško živjeti od glazbe? Je li to na neki način
kruh sa sedam kora?
Eventualno možemo reći da je ponekad teško živje-
ti. Svaki posao ima težih i lakših strana. Istina je da ljudi
uglavnom misle da je od glazbe lakše živjeti, no što uisti-
nu jest. Glazba je čarolija, umjetnost, kako god hoćete.
Osjećam se povlaštenim što od glazbe živim točno ona-
dc INTERVIEW
ko kako želim živjeti, na način da posve uživam u životu.
To ne znači da se pod time podrazumijeva savršenstvo,
ali ne bi ni valjalo da jest.
DC: Jednom ste rekli da vam vaša supruga Ivana svaki
dan šalje mailom raspored u kojem vam napiše što taj
dan imate za raditi. Jeste li pomalo gotovan ili naprosto
boem?
I jedno i drugo. S jedne strane, komocija je moja kreaci-
ja, a s druge nisam baš talentiran za organizaciju, osim
onu u studiju kad snimam album. To je naš mali ustroj,
veseli nas oboje i funkcionira. To je najvažnije.
17
DC: I ove ste godine u žiriju RTL-ovog reality showa „Hr-
vatska traži zvijezdu“. Što su vam kriteriji kad je u pitanju
mlada osoba željna glazbene karijere?
Prije svega pjevački talent koji je poželjno da zna uvjer-
ljivo pokazati, a pobjednik mora imati neki takozvani
„faktor x“.

DC:Mislite li da su reality showovi poput ovog u kojem

ste u žiriju potrebni hrvatskoj mladeži? Nemamo li ionako
dosta glazbenika od kojih mnogi ne rade?
Zašto ne? To je šansa za pokazati se, a nekima i ulaznica
u svijet show biznisa. Za neke to je zabava, čak i oklada.
Svi trebaju imati šansu, a kasnije tržište profiltrira i sortira.

DC: Jedna ste od rijetkih hrvatskih zvijezda, nazovimo

vas tako, za kojega nikada mediji nisu imali lošu riječ
kad je stil u pitanju. Koliko vam je estetika inače važna
u životu?
Nije mi najvažnija, definitivno nije srž, ali mi je važna.
Obično se nema što prigovoriti kada čovjek fura svoj
film i kada vanjska slika pokazuje ono što i kako čovjek
zapravo živi. Kod mene je to slučaj i zato se osjećam
ugodno.

DC: Imala sam prilike vidjeti da vam je dom uređen vrlo

ukusno, ali i vrlo funkcionalno. Zapravo, prvenstveno je
napravljen na način da prostor služi vama, a ne vi nje-
mu. Koliko ste vi sami bili dio uređenja?

Dom smo do najsitnijeg detalja uređivali Ivana i ja zajed-

no, što je logično, ali imamo sreću što oboje ispred sve-
ga stavljamo funkcionalnost. Sve što imamo služi nama,
a ne obrnuto. Želimo udobnost u domu, vikendici, bro-
du, restoranu, odjeći, svemu.

DC: Gdje je po vama granica dobrog ukusa kad je u

pitanju uređenje vlastitog prostora?
Ne volim granice, a ponajviše ne one koje postavljaju
drugi. Svatko ima pravo sebi postaviti granicu. Ja volim
jednostavnost, udobnost, praktičnost, ali i toplinu.

DC: Proputovali ste pola svijeta. Kad biste sad morali iz-
dvojiti neku građevinu koja vas je fascinirala što bi to bilo
i zbog čega?
Ne mogu odgovoriti na to pitanje. Kad odlazim u neki
novi grad, uvijek razgledam sve bitno, kao pravi turist,
a arhitektura daje nekom gradu osobnost i po tome ga
uglavnom pamtim. Ima prelijepih građevina i u Londo-
nu, Parisu i Istanbulu, ali i u Hrvatskoj. Svaki put, bolje re-
čeno svaki dan, kad prođem pored HNK, pomislim kako
je to lijepo zdanje.

DC: Koje su vam vrijednosti najvažnije u životu i držite li

ih se i sami?
Pokušavam se držati svega do čega mi je stalo i što sma-
tram vrijednim. Poštenje prije svega i iskrena ljubav. Tu
možete naći sve ostalo. To je polazište.

DC: Kad biste nešto mogli promijeniti u životu što bi to

bilo?
Kad gledam objektivno, ima toga dosta, možda par kru-
cijalnih stvari, ali subjektivno….ne bih mijenjao ništa, jer
18
niz događaja bi bio drukčiji da promijenim bilo što. Mora
biti ružnih situacija da biste znali cijeniti one lijepe. Ako
nema grešaka i padova, ne napredujete i ne borite se u
životu za nešto drugo i bolje. S okruglih četrdeset sretan
sam čovjek.
DC: Slažete li se kao muškarac da postoji smao jedna
ljubav u životu kad su u pitanju žene?
Ma ne. Mora biti više ljubavi. Onu prvu, dječju, iz vrtića ili
škole ne možete mjeriti s prvom tinejdžerskom, a kamoli
s onom s kojom se poželite zaručiti ili oženiti i imati djecu.
Koja je najjača ili najveća ljubav? Ona koja se događa
u tom trenutku. Zato je ljubav lijepa i inspirirajuća. Jed-
na je ona trajna, odrasla, duboka, koja vas povezuje u
nekoliko nivoa.
DC: Koliko se imate vremena posvetiti svojoj kćerkici Piji?
Komunicira li s vama na svoj dječji način?
Kao i svi roditelji, volio bih biti više sa svojim djetetom i
trudim se biti nabolji što mogu. Imam super komunika-
ciju, puno slušamo glazbu,pjevamo, plešemo i sviramo
bubnjeve zajedno što je trenutno najviše veseli.

DC: Kako najradije provodite slobodno vrijeme?

S obitelji i prijateljima u vrtu gdje napravimo neki roštilj
ili u našoj oazi mira u jednom istarskom selu, gdje je sve
podređeno odmoru i zabavi.

DC: Kako zamišljate svoju starost, gdje biste voljeli biti za

trideset godina?
Za 30 godina želim biti još aktivan, iako vidim da ste me
sa 70 strpali u penziju i proglasili starim. Kad odlučim biti
star, povući ću se u Istru i uživati u laganom životu u pri-
rodi.
I Set My Own Boundaries

Everything I do is a reflection of my spirit. My temperament

and energy are surely a part of it. When you hear the

oes a Tony Ce-
tinski interview
even require an
introductory pa-
ragraph, as one
usually assumes
introducing the person you talk to?
Having just turned forty, he has ma-
naged to achieve many accolades
in his music career, if not everything
he ever wanted. Numerous disco-
graphy awards, constantly sold-out
concerts and award-winning al-
bums are some of the elements that
confirm Tony Cetinski as one of “the
best”. Throughout my reporting ca-
reer, I have known him for years and
if I had to describe him in four words,
they would be: temperamental, sim-
ple, funny and unassuming. And yes,
we women certainly scream hard at
his concerts because Tony sings so
magnificently!
DC: You are currently recording a
classical-music album. How did you
come across that idea?
It is an album I’m creating for sheer
pleasure and without any pressure.
I haven’t set any time-limit, disco-
graphy, market or financial imperati-

ves for myself, and it is actually quite
amazing how I’m enjoying this situ-
ation. The album will mostly feature
some famous Italian “canzonas”
and several arias, which is the music
I grew up on before I fell in love with
AC/DC. I selected the songs myself,
and the album will also feature two
new songs written by Italian author
Italo Stabile. They were all orche-
strated by famous producer and
conductor John Cameron. I will not
reveal everything about the album,
but it will be a treat. The album’s title
is Da Capo, which would imply star-
ting from the beginning music-wise.
DC: You once said that your music
reflects your spirit. Does that mean
that the temperament and energy
we’re seeing on stage reflect your
character?
Everything I do is a reflection of my
spirit. My temperament and energy
are surely a part of it. When you hear
the classical album I’m recording at
the moment, you will see that I’ve
purposely left only glimpses of my
temperament, while putting emp-
hasis on emotional energy and the
deep love I have for music, as well
dc INTERVIEW
as the serenity that music gives me
and the maturity I’ve gained over
the years.
DC: Your success story has not always
been a smooth ride. Your climb was
steady, but not without falls, but you
have managed to deserve the sta-
tus of an important musician. What
was the essential element of your su-
ccess over the last twenty years?
Everything happened for a reason.
It was a slow but thorough ride, and
I have felt both the ceiling and the
floor. Success requires talent, plenty
of work, persistence, love and some
luck.
DC: Would you refer to the two re-
cent Zagreb Arena concerts as the
crowning achievements of your ca-
reer?
The best part of the story is the fact
that everything I’ve done over the
last five years is referred to as the
crowning achievement of my ca-
reer. That undoubtedly means I’m
moving forward. This may just be the
crowning achievement of this pha-
se of my career, but I don’t want
to talk about my entire career, as I
21
feel I have a lot more to give to the
world of music.

DC: Is it hard making a living from

music? Is it one of the more difficult
ways of making money?
I guess we can say that it gets diffi-
cult from time to time. Every line of
work has its upsides and downsides.
It’s true that people generally think
that the music business is easy living,
but that may actually be true. Mu-
sic is magic, art, or whatever you
want to call it. I feel privileged to be
spending my life exactly the way I
want to, and that is making music
and enjoying everything about it.
That doesn’t necessarily imply per-
fection, but I wouldn’t have it any
other way.

DC: You once said that your wife

Ivana e-mails your schedule on a
daily basis. Does that make you a
tad spoiled or just bohemian?
Both, I guess. On one side, my level
of comfort is my creation, but I am
also not very talented when it co-
mes to organizing myself, except
in the studio during the recording
process. That is our little way of fun-
ctioning – it works and it makes us
both happy. That is the most impor-
tant thing.

DC: You’ve once again signed

up to the “Croatia Is Looking for a
Superstar” reality show. What are
your criteria when it comes to yo-
ung people wanting to break into
the music business?
The convincing amount of singing
talent comes first, but the winner
also must possess the so-called “x-
factor”.

DC: Do you feel that these types

of reality shows are what Croatian
youth really needs? Don’t we alre-
ady have a large number of unem-
ployed musicians?
Why not? It is a chance to demon-
strate your talents, and some may
even break into show-business this
way. Some see it as entertainment,
others as a sure bet. Everybody de-
serves a chance, and the market
will filter and select the best.

DC: You are one of the rare Croati-

an stars, if we may call you that, who
have never been criticized for your
style. How much importance do you
place on aesthetics in your life?
It is definitely not essential or a pri-
ority, but it is important. There are

22
usually no complaints when people carry
themselves true to who they are. That is
what I try to do and that is why I feel com-
fortable.
DC: I had the opportunity to see your home,
and it is decorated in very tasteful and fun-
ctional manner. In fact, it is primarily desi-
gned to serve your needs, instead of the
other way around. How involved were you
in the decorating process?
Ivana and I decorated everything to the ti-
niest little detail, which is only logical, but it’s
fortunate that we both place a great deal
of importance on functionality. Everything
we have serves our purposes, not the other
way around. We want comfort in our home,
vacation house, boat, restaurant, clothes
etc.
DC: Where do you set boundaries of good
taste in terms of home decoration?
I don’t like boundaries, especially those that
are set by others. Everybody has the right to
set their own boundaries. I prefer simplicity,
comfort, practicality, but also warmth.
DC: You’ve travelled half the world. If you
had to point out a single building that fasci-
nated you, what would it be and why?
I can’t answer that question. When I arrive
in a town I’ve never visited before, I always
visit all sights like any other tourist, and I usu-
ally remember cities for their architecture
that provides them with a certain persona-
lity. There are fascinating buildings in Lon-
don, Paris, Istanbul, but also Croatia. Every
time, or should I say every day, I walk by the
Croatian National Theatre building, I think
about how beautiful it is.
Of course not, there must be more than one
love. How can you compare your first kin-
dergarten or school crush to your first tee-
nage romance, let alone to meeting a wo-
man you want to propose, marry or have
kids with? Which is the strongest or biggest
love? The one that takes place at that very
moment. That is why love is so inspiring and
beautiful. There is only one permanent,
deep and grown love, which connects you
on several different levels.
DC: How much time do you have for your
little daughter Pia? Does she communicate
with you in her own childish way?
Like any parent, I would love to spend more
time with my child, and I’m trying very hard
to be the best I can be. We have a fabulo-
us way of communicating: we listen to a lot
of music, sing, dance and play the drums
together, which seems to be her new favo-
urite thing.
DC: What is your favourite way of spending
free time?
Cooking up a barbecue with friends and
family in my garden, or spending time in our
oasis of peace in a small Istrian village, whe-
re everything we do is relaxing and fun.
DC: How do you picture yourself when
you’re older, and where would you like to
find yourself in thirty years?
I still want to be active in thirty years, altho-
ugh I see you’ve already labelled me as old
when I’m seventy and have put me out to
pasture. When I decide it’s time to be old, I
will go back to Istria and enjoy a life in har-
mony with nature.

DC: What are the most important values

in your life, and do you live by them?
I try to respect everything I care about
and consider valuable. That primarily
relates to honesty and true love. That is
the starting point for everything else.

DC: If you could change something

about your life, what would that be?
If I try to be objective, there are plen-
ty of things that are even crucial, but
subjectively... I wouldn’t change anyt-
hing, because that would change an
entire line of events that led me where
I am now. Every person must encounter
bad situations in order to appreciate
the good times. If there are no stumbles
and struggles, a person isn’t making
progress or fighting for something that’s
better. I am forty years old, and I am a
happy man.

DC: As a man, would you agree that

there is only one true love when it co-
mes to women in a lifetime?

hrvatskog slikarstva na prijelazu 19. u 20. stoljeće s temeljnim nagla-
skom na poveznice s münchenskom slikarskom školom, te se na taj
način uključuje u obilježavanje 200. godišnjice Akademije likovnih
umjetnosti u Münchenu i projekt “München kao europsko središte

umjetnosti u Münchenu, u organizaciji Instituta za povijest umjetnosti
i Umjetničkog paviljona u Zagrebu po prvi put pokazuje djela hrvat-
skih slikara – münchenskih đaka koja ponajbolje pokazuje poveznice
s münchenskom Akademijom koja je uz bečku bila važno odredište hr-
vatskih slikara krajem 19. i početkom 20. stoljeća.
Na izložbi “Zagreb – München” izloženo je osamdesetak radova hrvat-
skih slikara upisanih na Akademiju likovnih umjetnosti u Münchenu
od 1870.-1920. godine među kojima su Izidor Kršnjavi, Ferdinand Qu-

KAZALIŠTE
BRAK MARIJE BRAUN
Godine 1979. godine na filmskom festivalu u Cannesu održana je
premijera jednog od najuspješnijih filmova R. W. Fassbindera BRAK
MARIJE BRAUN. Trideset godina kasnije redateljica Tea Alagić Vlašić,
koja godinama živi i radi u New Yorku, dolazi u Hrvatsku i zajedno s
ansamblom Zagrebačkog kazališta mladih radi na kazališnom upri-
zorenju ovog kultnog djela. Predstava BRAK MARIJE BRAUN igra od
31. listopada u Zagrebačkom kazalištu mladih.
BRAK MARIJE BRAUN priča je iz vremena obnove
Njemačke nakon Drugog svjetskog rata. Njemačka
glumica Hanna Schygulla kao Marija Braun ostva-
ruje legendarnu filmsku ulogu koja joj donosi me-
đunarodnu slavu. Mariji Braun uspijeva uspon na
društvenoj ljestvici, ali u osobnom životu cijena je
previsoka. U društvu u kojem bogatstvo predstavlja
vrhunac moći, čak i uspješna i samostalna žena kao
Marija Braun naposljetku je prisiljena priznati sebi
da ne predstavlja više od figure u insceniranoj igri
koju pokreću muškarci.

EXHIBITS
Zagreb – Munich
Exhibit “Zagreb – Munich – Croatian Painting and the Academy of Fine Arts
in Munich” (October 21st 2009 – December 6th 2009) presents an overvi-
ew of Croatian painting in late 19th and early 20th century, with special
emphasis on the connections with the Munich painting school. This exhibit
further improves the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Academy
of Fine Arts in Munich, as well as the project “Munich – the centre of Euro-
pean artistic education”.
Exhibit “Zagreb – Munich – Croatian Painting and the Academy of Fine Arts
in Munich” is organized by the Institute of Art History and the Art Pavilion
in Zagreb, is the first event to display works from Croatian painters who
studied in Munich, which is the best way to demonstrate strong connecti-
ons with the Munich Academy that, along with the Vienna Academy, ser-
ved as a very important destination for Croatian painters in late 19th and
early 20th century.
The “Zagreb – Munich” exhibit features around eighty works by Croatian
painters who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich between 1870
and 1920, including paintings by Izidor Kršnjavi, Ferdinand Qiuquerez, Jo-
sip Bauer, Nikola Mašić, Anton Aron, Dragan Melkus, Hugo Lukšić, Marko
Murat, Mato Celestin Medović, Menci Clement Crnčić, Bela Čikoš Sesija,
Oton Iveković, Ivan Tišov, Robert Auer, Oskar Herman, Josip Račić, Vladimir
Becić, Miroslav Kraljević and Ljubo Babić.

this autumn. The author of the exhibit and catalogue is Master of Science
Smiljka Domac-Ceraj, museum councillor at
the Modern Gallery. The exhibit features works
from different museum collections, as well as
public institutions and several private collec-

Ivan Rein, Omer Mujadžić and others.
THEATRE
The Marriage of Maria Braun
The 1979 Cannes Film Festival hosted the premiere of one of R.W. Fassbinder’s
most successful movies – The Marriage of Maria Braun. Thirty years later, di-
rector Tea Alagić Vlašić, who has been living and working in New York for
years, has arrived to Croatia to work on a theatre version of this cult piece
with the ensemble from the Zagreb Youth Theatre. Play “The Marriage of Ma-
ria Braun” will be running from October 31st at the Zagreb Youth
Theatre.
“The Marriage of Maria Braun” is a story from the period of
Germany’s renovation after World War II. German actress Hanna
Schygulla achieved a legendary role as Maria Braun, which had
catapulted her to international fame. Maria Braun has achie-
ved success on the social scene, but the price is too high in her
personal life. In a society where material wealth represents the
maximum amount of power, even a successful and independent
woman like Maria Braun ends up forced to admit to herself that
she isn’t nothing more than a pawn in a scripted game that is
played by men.

Debra, društvo oboljelih od bulozne epidermolize, rijetke i ne-
izlječive bolesti kože, osnovano je 1996. godine s ciljem pove-
zivanja obitelji oboljelih od bulozne epidermolize. Prikupljena
sredstva koristit će se kao početni kapital za izgradnju među-
narodnog rehabilitacijskog kampa kakav još ne postoji, a pred-
stavljao bi golemu pomoć i bar malo olakšanje svakodnevnih
životnih tegoba oboljelima od ove neizlječive bolesti.
IZDANJA
“Hercegovina - zemlja svjetlosti”
Na tristotinjak stranica fotomonografije „Hercegovina – zemlja
svjetlosti“ čiji tekst potpisuje Božo Skoko, fotografije Ivo Per-
van, a dizajn Boris Ljubičić, prikazane su dosad neviđene pri-
rodne ljepote Hercegovine, kulturne znamenitosti, tradicija,
povijesni spomenici, ali i prizori iz svakidašnjeg života njezina
urbanog i ruralnog dijela.
Fotografije za monografiju Ivo Pervan snimao je tijekom dvije
godine, u svim godišnjim dobima, nastojeći na njima prikazati
“svu ljepotu predmeta, biljaka i dušu re-
gije”.
Zagrebački nakladnik “Noveliti mileni-
um” dio naklade otisnuo je na engleskom
jeziku što je namijenjeno trećoj i četvrtoj
generaciji Hercegovaca u svijetu koji više
ne vladaju dobro hrvatskim jezikom.
EDITIONS
“Herzegovina – A Land of Light”
Around 300 pages of photo-monograph “Herzegovina – A Land
of Light”, written by Božo Skoko with photos by Ivo Pervan and
design by Boris Ljubičić, display the previously unseen natural
beauties of Herzegovina, as well as its cultural sights, tradition,
historical monuments, but also scenes from its everyday urban
and rural life.
Ivo Pervan has been shooting the photos for this monograph for
over two years and in all seasons of the year, and his goal was to
show “the entire beauty of objects, plants and the region’s soul”.
Zagreb publishers “Noveliti Milenium” printed a part of the book’s
circulation in English, which aims at the third and fourth genera-
tion of Herzegovinians who are scattered all over the world and
aren’t fluent in the Croatian language.

Charity Gala Concert “A Smile for Butterfly-Children”
Tenor Ivan Gamulin Gianni will host the Italian singing diva
Anna Oxa at the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall in Zagreb on
November 25th 2009 for the charity gala concert titled “A Smile
for Butterfly-Children” for the Debra association. The concert
will be conducted by the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra and
the Cantores Sancti Marci Choir. They will be joined on stage by
Ivana Husar-Mlinac and Luciano Batinić.
Debra, an association for people suffering from a rare and incu-
rable disease called bullous epidermolysis, was founded in 1996
with the goal of connecting families of those suffering from the
illness. The acquired funds will be used as basis for construc-
tion of an international rehabilitation camp that doesn’t exist
anywhere yet, and which would be of great assistance in an
effort to make the everyday life of people battling this deadly
disease a little bit easier.

“A Collection of Furniture
in the Split City Museum” Pripremila / Edited by: Romina Peritz
This book by Vjekoslava Sokol, senior custodian at the Split City
Museum, presents the first monographic display of one of this
museum’s collections, although certain objects have already
been published in catalogues of certain topical exhibits. Such an
edition is always the result of a multi-year working process and
the museum custodian’s extensive research.
“Thanks to the subject’s scientific analysis and a detailed appro-
ach to the project, this book represents an essential contribution
to the overall knowledge of an important part of our cultural he-
ritage. It doesn’t just contain images from the furniture collection
at Split City Museum, but rather features a scientific study of a
multi-century progress of our city’s woodcarving and carpentry
trades, which also confirms a high level of culture and civilization
of the local people”, says in a review by Dr. Alena Fazinić.

Kempinski Adriatic with 5 stars
Kempinski Hotel Adriatic is Croatia’s first luxurious five-
star Golf & Spa Resort on the coast. All bathrooms have
tubs and power-shower cabins, as well as a mirror with
an integrated TV set. The rooms with balconies over-
look the sea, the golf courses or Istria’s green scenery.
Nineteen luxurious apartments, two of which carry the
“president” title, are located at the very top of the ho-
tel. These lavishing facilities consist of a separate dining
room, living room, sleeping section and study. The spaci-
ous terraces overlook the Piran Bay, and these suites are
embellished by another special intervention – a Jacuzzi
tub under the sky.
The resort’s gastronomic offer includes three restau-
rants of entirely different concepts. The main a-la-car-
te “Dijana” specializes in light Mediterranean cuisine.
The rustic tavern “Kanova” is located right on the coast
and serves authentic Istrian meals cooked mostly on an
open fireplace. Californian restaurant “Slice” is located
right on the golf courses and is characterized by simple,
healthy and modern dishes, with emphasis on various
grilled specialties. The beverage offer is organized throu-
gh the elegant Adriatic Bar with its classical-modern pre-
sence in the hotel lobby, as well as the Pool Bar on the
outdoor pool, Beach Bar on the hotel’s private beach,
and the Golf Bar.
Various health and pleasure services take place within
the Carolea Spa centre, which is decorated in Greek-
Roman fashion. This 3000-m2 facility with one indoor
and two heated outdoor pools includes sixteen rooms
reserved for makeover treatments, as well as various
aromatherapy saunas, steam baths, Roman caldarium,
33
laconium, tepidarium, frigidarium, kneipp track, tran-
sformative floating tank, “hamam” Turkish bath, relaxa-
tion room with waterbeds and various other treatments.
Lovers of more active vacations can use the gym with
top-modern Technogym equipment, a personal trainer
and four tennis courts. The hotel’s picturesque scenery is
surrounded with vineyards, historical sites and numerous
bike tracks, and there are lots of opportunities for jog-
ging, Nordic walking and biking.

Congress centre
Business meetings, conferences, promotions and other
events take place in a large conference hall and two
meeting halls within the hotel. The resort does possess
one congress centre located in a separate building that
overlooks the sea and offers spacious, flexible and easily
divided rooms with top-modern equipment and free and

daylight. Kempinski Golf Adriatic is the first professional
golf course with 18 holes in Croatia. Merely a hundred
metres from the sea, the course blends with the surroun-
ding scenery and the area’s natural characteristics, and
the activities take place throughout the year. Kempin-
ski Adriatic Resort also includes 20 luxurious apartments
and 22 detached sumptuous villas in four different desi-
gns, which are on sale for any interested buyers.
The hotel’s offer is completed by different other perks

Po struci ste dizajner rasvjete što je
mnogima u Hrvatskoj još uvijek neo-
bično zanimanje. Što vas je ponuka-
lo da se bavite svjetlom?
Oduvijek sam gravitirao prema arhi-
tekturi, uređenju, formi i svjetlu. Nedu-
go nakon dolaska u New York 1986.,
imao sam sreću upoznati ljude koji su
se bavili upravo svjetlom i ubrzo sam
počeo raditi s njima. Paralelno sam
upisao FIT gdje sam studirao dizajn
interijera i dizajn rasvjete. Na fakul-
tetu smo imali vrhunski opremljen la-
boratorij svjetla gdje su profesori, koji
su morali imati najmanje 10 godina
iskustva u privatnoj praksi, prenosili
znanja na buduće generacije. Uz taj
studij radio sam direktno u struci, od-
lazio s kolegama na gradilište, pro-
jektirali smo i nadzirali zajedno što je
za mene bilo neprocijenjivo iskustvo.
Učiti, raditi i vidjeti realizacije dizajna
rasvjete u zemlji odakle struka i po-
tječe.
Kakva je situacija u struci u Hrvatskoj
i inozemstvu?
Nakon povratka u Hrvatsku bilo mi je
puno lakše pratiti tehnologije u gra-
diteljstvu budući da je Amerika u tom
području puno naprednija od nas.
Već tada, prije 23 godine, imao sam
priliku vidjeti što znači građevinski
izvesti neki detalj u stropu u knaufu,
proučiti ugradnju centralnog uprav-
ljanja rasvjetom i mnoge druge pri-
mjere koji su kod nas zaživjeli tek pri-
je desetak godina ili koji tek sad stižu

tehnologije i proizvodi puno brže prihvaćaju i

zagrebačkog i splitskog sveučilišta,
gdje sam održao predavanja o di-
zajnu rasvjete u arhitekturi, također
dokazuju da je danas svijest o rasvje-
ti na daleko višoj razini nego što je
bila prije 15 godina.
Koje su specifičnosti oblikovanja ra-
svjetom i mogućnosti za kreativnost?
Budući da je rasvjeta neodvojiva od
arhitekture, najčešće mi se postavlja
pitanje koliko je svjetlo važno u arhi-
tekturi, na što odgovaram da uopće
nije važno u arhitekturi, već je važ-
no za čovjeka. Kuće ne osvjetljava-
mo radi kuća, slike u muzejima nisu
osvjetljene radi slika nego radi ono-
ga koji ih gleda. U tom smislu pristup
u osvjetljavanju arhitekture je pogre-
šan. Naš je posao specifičan prven-
stveno zbog izuzetno dobrog pozna-
vanja psihološkog utjecaja svjetlosti
na ljude i njihovih generalnih reakcija
na određenu vrstu svjetla. Moguće
je procijeniti da će većina ljudi reagi-
rati na određeni način ako se nađe
u mračnom prostoru i da će, ako im
upališ neko hladno, bijelo, jako svje-
tlo reagirati na drugi. U nijansama i
varijacijama između tih dviju krajnosti
leži naša kreativna snaga.
Koje se prepreke i izazovi javljaju pri
realizaciji projekata? Kakvi su odnosi
s investitorima, arhitektima i dizajne-
rima interijera?
Uvijek naglašavam važnost integra-
cije u dizajnu rasvjete što podrazu-
mijeva usku suradnju s arhitektom i
dizajnerima interijera. Imam tu sreću
da su česte situacije gdje se arhitekt
i ja međusobno nadahnjujemo, iz
čega proizlaze svjetlosne i strukturne
instalacije u prostoru. Građevinski
zahvat koji se izvede u arhitekturi i in-
terijeru radi svjetla postaje integralni
dio tog prostora, bez obzira je li svje-
tlo upaljeno ili nije. Imamo primjer
arhitektonske simulacije vena smo-
kvinog lista u Novom Vinodolskom
gdje čitav strop zapravo postaje
rasvjetno tijelo. Možemo reći da je
Lumenartov i Skirin trodimenzional-
ni pristup projektiranju rasvjete vrlo
specifičan i mnogima prepoznatljiv.
Nažalost, nema uvijek prilike za ta-
kve izvedbe, tu je odnos mene, in-
vestitora i arhitekta ključan. Ukoliko
i jedna karika u tom lancu pukne,
ideja se ne može realizirati. Nedav-
no sam imao slučaj gdje smo svi

je u jednoj žarulji možda i zanema-
riva, ali u milijunima štednih žarulja
nailazimo na ogromnu količinu žive
koja zagađuje vodu i okoliš. Ukoliko

ideje koja je, priznajem, dosta radi-
kalna. Ideju, u kojoj smo kolni ulaz u
hotel Four Seasons u Baku pretvorili
u azerbejdžanski tepih, nije podupro
jedino predstavnik investitora i taj je
najbitniji detalj ostao nerealiziran.

U posljednje vrijeme dosta se u me-

dijima spominje Zakon o štednim ža-
ruljama. Kakvo je mišljenje struke po
tom pitanju?
Osobno i stručno mišljenje iza ko-
jeg čvrsto stojim je da, u svojoj kući
i kući svojih klijenata, apsolutno ne
dolazi u obzir korištenje štednih ža-
rulja u prostorijama poput dnevnog
boravka gdje svjetlo treba biti toplo,
s mogućnošću regulacije i koje ne
titra. Sve te zahtjeve još uvijek ispu-
njava jedino klasična žarulja sa žar-
nom niti. Štedna žarulja, koja dolazi
u 99% slučajeva iz Kine, u stvari nije
ni ekološka, uzmemo li u obzir tro-
šak njezine proizvodnje, transporta
i eksploatacije koji je neuporedivo
dc INTERVJU
i pakirati je u nekoliko vrećica prije
odlaganja u otpad. Također, nji-
hov veliki nedostatak je to što se ne
mogu regulirati, ne podnose često
paljenje i gašenje i imaju izuzetno
lošu reprodukciju boje. Njezino svje-
tlo je zapravo nekvalitetno, prostor
koji osvjetljava djeluje neprirodno i
boje ne dolaze do izražaja, crvena
nije crvena, plava nije plava. Iz tih
razloga ljudi često ne vole boraviti
pod tim svjetlom. Neka istraživanja
46
su dokazala da izlaganje u prostoru
koji je konstantno osvijetljen štednim
žaruljama izaziva migrene. Nedosta-
taka je mnogo. Sva stručna udruže-
nja, europski PLDC, američki IES, svi
su protiv zabrane običnih žarulja.
Međutim, glavni lobisti tog zakona
ostvaruju daleko veći profit na šted-
nim žaruljama.

osvjetljenje? Koji su novi trendovi u
svijetu rasvjete?
Prilikom realizacije dijela porečke
zaobilaznice prvi smo u Hrvatskoj pri-
mjenili princip novih optika u javnoj
rasvjeti. Kod nas kad se priča o eko-
loškoj svjetiljci još uvijek se spominje
samo karakteristika da svijetli prema
dolje, odnosno da ne isijava svje-
tlost prema gore. Ukoliko je potreb-
no osvijetliti ulicu od 4-5 km gdje se
inače prosječno nalazi stotinjak stu-
pova, tada čini veliku razliku hoće
li ih biti 100 ili 70 komada i u tome
je bit uštede energije, istovremeno
poštujući principe protiv svjetlosnog
zagađenja. Danas je tendencija da
se u velikim komercijalnim prostori-
ma, poput nedavno realiziranog NY
Times buildinga Renza Piana u New
Yorku, kontrolira i upravlja umjetnim i

dnevnim svjetlom u radnom prosto-
ru. Prema današnjoj dostupnoj teh-
nologiji ta kontrola uključuje regula-
ciju rasvjete, motoriziranih vanjskih
žaluzina i motoriziranih unutarnjih
prozorskih sjenila Lutronovim Eco i
Quantum sistemima koji su tek odne-
davno dostupni i u Europi. Mjerenjem
kuta upada svjetlosnih zraka, takav
napredan sustav regulira podiza-
nje i spuštanje prozorskih sjenila te
paljenje i gašenje rasvjete ovisno o
položaju zgrade u odnosu na sunce
i godišnje doba. Daylight harvesting
(žetva dnevnog svjetla) maksimal-
no je iskorištena. U Europi se sprema
2012. zakon zbog kojeg će arhitekti
koji projektiraju komercijalne objek-
te morati osigurati određenu količi-
nu svjetla u svim prostorima i na taj
način će projektirati fasade.
Okušali ste se vrlo uspješno i u dizajni-
ranju rasvjetnih tijela. Kako je nastala
ideja?
Ideja za dizajn nove lampe proizaš-
la je iz potrebe za točno određenim
zahtjevom koji nisam uspio zado-

voljiti niti jednim proizvodom koji je
trenutno dostupan na tržištu. Počeo
sam ozbiljno razmišljati prvenstveno
o funkciji i nakon toga je forma doš-
la sama po sebi. Međutim, forma te
lampe nije bila moguća prije 3 godi-
ne, zato što tehnologija potrebna za
njenu izvedbu nije tada bila dostu-
pna. To pokazuje koliko je ova struka
izuzetno vezana uz razvoj tehnologi-
ja. Serija lampi koje sam dizajnirao i
koje će ići u proizvodnju za iGuzzini,
jednog od vodećih svjetskih proi-
zvođača rasvjetnih tijela, bit će pre-
zentirana na sajmu 2011. Dotad će
biti korištena kao specijalni proizvod
na određenim objektima. Forma te
lampe vrlo je zahvalna i prilagod-
ljiva, može se koristiti u neizmjerno
mnogo različitih varijacija, u kutevi-
ma, u interijeru i u eksterijeru, i iz nje
se mogu generirati razni oblici.
Na koji način prezentirate svoje ide-
je? Kako pojašnjavate klijentima što
mogu očekivati kad se posao završi?
Moji prvi projekti i način na koji da-
nas projektiramo u Kući svjetla uvijek
slijede istu filozofiju. Naš projekt mora
biti razumljiv svakome, što znači da
će svim sudionicima projekta kroz
prezentaciju biti razumljivo kako će
izgledati krajnji rezultat. Uvijek se
trudimo vizualno prezentirati priču,
nakon čega slijedi inženjerski dio koji
je važan izvođačima. Prvenstveno
je ključno da svi sudionici, od inve-
stitora do onoga koji to realizira, ot-
početka do kraja dobiju sve neop-
hodne podatke za obavljanje svog
posla. I naravno da korisnik, prije
nego je instalacija uopće izvedena,
ima jasnu viziju kako će izgledati ra-
svjetno rješenje. Zato često radimo
foto simulacije interijera i eksterijera
koje su 80-90 % točne. Nemoguće je
dostići stopostotnu vjerodostojnost
jer je svjetlo jako često nepredvidi-
vo, bez obzira što je linearno i što je
njegova putanja predvidljiva. Posto-
je mnogi izvanjski utjecaji na fasa-
du, utjecaji javne rasvjete, refleksije
materijala i sl. Stoga kad kažem da
mi to uspjevamo sa osamdesetpo-
stotnom preciznošću, onda to jako
puno znači.
Koji je pristup u projektiranju kojeg
zastupate u Kući svjetla?
Nastojimo se svakom projektu po-
svetiti kao da je jedan jedini i ne
uspoređivati ga ni s jednim drugim.
Nema univerzalnog rasvjetnog rje-
šenja, postoje slični primjeri. Jedini
ograničavajući faktori u poslu su po-
stojeći tehnološki izvori svjetla i lam-
pe u kojima se oni nalaze. Žarulje u
sebi imaju određenu optiku, uzak ili
širok snop, isijavaju toplo ili hladno
svjetlo određenog intenziteta, sna-
ge, mogućnosti usmjerenja, mon-
taže itd. Tehnološki si ograničen, ali
kreativno nisi i to je najčešći problem
na koji nailaziš u struci. Kad želiš po-
stići neki efekt, uvijek razmišljaš da to
što si zamislio mora biti izvedivo i da
je moguće dugoročno održavati.
Stoga nastojiš ne montirati rasvjetna
tijela na mjesta do kojih više nitko
ne može doći. Onda jednom kad
žarulja izgori fasada izgleda okrnje-
na. Bitno je sagledati sve elemente,
kako kuća izgleda oblikovno, gdje je
smještena, u kakvom okruženju, gdje
su ključne vizure te kuće. Otpočetka
točno znamo sve detalje, gdje će
biti koja lampa, kako će biti usmje-
rena, tako da kasnije nema izne-
nađenja. Budući da u našem timu
rade dizajneri, elektroinženjeri i pro-
grameri, proizvod je cjelovit jer ima
svoj kreativni sadržaj te je tehnološki,
energetski i upravljački maksimalno
obrađen. U svim fazama projekta
poduzimamo sve potrebno kako bi
to doslovno bila pametna kuća u
kojoj će se naši klijenti osjećati ugod-
no i opušteno.

Your professional calling is a lighting designer, which is
still a fairly unusual job for many people in Croatia. What
encouraged you to start working with light?
I have always gravitated towards architecture, decora-
tion, form and light. Not long after I arrived in New York
in 1986, I was fortunate enough to meet some people

Interview: DEAN SKIRA

I always emphasize the importance of

integration in lighting design, which assumes
a close cooperation with architects and
interior designers. I am fortunate enough
to often find myself in situations where the
architect and I mutually inspire each other,
which results in lighting and structural
installations in the space. Constructions
procedures that are performed in the
interior with the purpose of light become
integral parts of architecture, regardless of
whether the light is turned on or not

who were involved in the lighting business, and I soon

started working with them. I simultaneously entered the
FIT University where I studied interior design and lighting
design. Our university featured a laboratory with top-qu-
ality equipment where the professors, all of whom had
at least ten years of experience in private practice, tau-
ght the future generations everything about this field of
work. Along with that I worked directly in the profession
as I walked around construction sites with my co-wor-
kers, projecting and supervising various projects. That
was simply an invaluable experience for me. To learn,
work and observe performance of lighting design in a
country that is the home of this profession.
49
dc INTERVJU
What is the current situation in this profession in Croatia
and the world?
After my return to Croatia, it was a lot easier for me to
keep up with the latest construction technologies as
America is way ahead of us in that department. That
was 23 years ago, and I already had a chance to see
what it means to perform a knauf ceiling, install a cen-
tral lighting control system and observe numerous other
methods that only arrived to our part of the world ten
years ago or even now. Europe is catching up America
in big steps, and maybe it has already caught up crea-
tively. However, in America new technologies and pro-
ducts are embraced and placed in much faster fashion
by the users due to the enormous market of 250 million
people that has certain unique rules. The European mar-
ket is much more complex, as every country has its own
language, culture, rules and standards.
Croatian universities do not offer classes on the subject
of lighting design. How do Croatian people get educa-
ted on this matter and is there an increasing need for
this profession?
The Croatian market and the trading business have led
to certain novelties in educational methods within the
lighting business, unlike America that offers education
on lighting within their universities and various associa-
tions that organize professional lectures every month.
50
In our country, professional lectures are organized by
people who sell lamps in order to present their product
and convince the buyer in its adequacy for a certain
function. These lectures make the process of choosing
lighting objects a lot easier for consultants in designing
phase. Foreign investors have also played an important
role in the process of generating the need for our pro-
fession as they insisted on lighting designers in basically
all architectonic teams. The level of consciousness on
the subject of lighting is now much higher than it was 15
years ago.
Which are the specific aspects of shaping a space with li-
ghting, and where are our opportunities to get creative?
The lighting aspect cannot be separated from archi-
tecture, so I am often questioned of the importance of
lighting in architectural processes, and my usual respon-
se states that lighting is not important for architecture,
but for people. I do not arrange lighting because of
houses, and museum paintings are not highlighted with
light because of themselves, but because of the people
watching them. In that sense, the entire approach of
lighting up architecture is fundamentally wrong. Our job
is specific primarily because we know psychology of li-
ght and general reactions of people to the certain type
of light. It is possible to predict that the majority of peo-
ple will react a certain way if they find themselves in a

darker room, and that they will change their behaviour if you
turn on a cold, strong, white light. The shades and variations
between those two extremes reveal our creative strength.

What are some of the obstacles and challenges during the

course of your projects? What are your experiences with in-
vestors, architects and interior designers?
I always emphasize the importance of integration in lighting
design, which assumes a close cooperation with architects
and interior designers. I am fortunate enough to often find
myself in situations where the architect and I mutually inspire
each other, which results in lighting and structural installations
in the space. Constructions procedures that are performed in
the interior with the purpose of light become integral parts of
that space, regardless of whether the light is turned on or not.
We have an example of an architectonic simulation of fig-
leaf veins in Novi Vinodolski, which resulted in the entire object
becoming a lighting object. It is fair to say that Lumenart’s
and Skira’s three-dimensional approach to lighting design is
very specific and recognizable to many. Unfortunately, the-
re aren’t always opportunities for those scenarios, as the re-
lationships between myself, the architect and the investor
become crucial. If one of the links in that chain breaks, the
idea is dead. There are numerous obstacles. I recently had a
situation where everybody involved in the project agreed on
an idea, which was admittedly rather radical. Idea, in which
we wanted to transform the driveway to the Four Seasons Ho-
tel in Baku into a gigantic Azerbaijan carpet, wasn’t backed

LIGHTING DESIGN INTEGRATED IN ARCHITECTURE

down by investor’s representative and that crucial de-

tail wasn’t realized like we planned.

There has been a lot of talk lately about the Law on Eco-
nomical Light Bulbs. What is the profession’s opinion on
that matter?
My personal and professional opinion that I wholehear-
tedly represent is that I would never install an econo-
mical light bulb into my house or the house of my cli-
ents, due to the fact the light in living rooms needs to be
warm, non-vibrating and with regulation options, which
is best accomplished by the classic bulb filaments. That
economical light bulb, which is manufactured in China
in 99% of cases, is not even ecological, as the manu-
facturing, transporting and exploitation costs are much
higher than those of a classic light bulb. Furthermore, its
glass membrane contains a certain amount of mercu-
ry, which may seem irrelevant in one light bulb, but the
millions of such bulbs release a huge amount of mer-
cury that pollutes the water and the environment. If
such a bulb breaks, it needs to be removed in specific
manner that involves several different packages befo-
re throwing it away. One of their huge disadvantage is
they also have no regulation options, do not have high
tolerance for frequent on-off situations, and the level of
colour reproduction is extremely bad. Their light is ac-
tually of low quality, as the room often looks unnatural
without true colour penetration – red isn’t red, blue isn’t
blue. These are the reasons why people often don’t like
spending time in rooms with these light bulbs. Some re-
searches have shown that spending time in such rooms
causes severe cases of migraine. There are numerous
shortcomings. All professional associations, including
PLDC Europe and IES America, have made it clear that
they oppose to banning regular light bulbs. However,
the strongest lobbyist of that law turn a much bigger
profit on economical bulbs.
If that is the case, which is the way to achieve energy
preservation and ecological lighting? What are the new
trends in the lighting world?
While we were building a part of a bypass road in Poreč,
we were the first to use the new optical principle in pu-
blic lighting in Croatia. When people talk about ecologi-
cal lamps in our country, they still exclusively refer to tho-
se lamps directing light downwards, and not radiating
light upwards. If we need to light a 4-to-5-kilometre road
where it’s common to build about 100 poles, building
about 70 poles would make a big difference in terms of
energy preservation, while also respecting the principles
that oppose to lighting pollution. It is now a tendency in
large commercial spaces, such as the recently-built NY
Times building by Renzo Piano in New York, to control

52
and regulate artificial and natural light in a working fa-

dc INTERVIEW
cility. The latest technology allows this control to include
lighting regulation with motorized outdoor shutters and
motorized indoor widow shades by Lutron’s Quantum
and Eco systems that are from recently available in Eu-
rope. By measuring the light rays’ invasion angle, this
advanced system regulates the moving of window sha-
des and the ignition of artificial light depending on the
building’s position towards the sun and the season of
the year. Daylight harvesting has been put to maximum
effect. Europe will receive a new law in 2012, which will
determine the minimum amount of light in all commer-
cial objects and have a direct effect on the way archi-
tects project facades in the future.

You’ve also been very successful in designing lighting

objects. How did that idea come about?
The idea to design a new lamp originated from a very
precise demand that couldn’t be solved by any of the
products on the market. I started to seriously think prima-
rily about function, and the form simply came as a logi-
cal extension. However, the form of that lamp wouldn’t
have been possible three years ago, as the required
technology wasn’t available at that time. That exam-
ple clearly shows just how dependent this profession is
to the development of technology. The series of lamps
I’ve designed and that will be manufactured by iGuzzi-
ni, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of lighting
objects, and will be presented at the fair in 2011. Un-
til then, the lamps will be used as special products on
specific objects. The form of this lamp is very convenient
and adjustable, and can be used in numerous different
variations in both interiors and exteriors, as well as gene-
rate into different forms.

How do you present your ideas? How do you suggest ODABIR RASVJETNIH TIJELA U SKLADU JE S INTERIJEROM

your clients what they can expect when the job is fi-
nished?
My first projects and the way we now project at The
House of Light always follow the same philosophy. Our
project must be understandable to everyone, which
means that each participant can visualise the final re-
sult after our presentations. We always make an effort
to visually present the story, and that is followed by the
all-important engineering part. It is absolutely crucial to
ensure that all participants in the process, from the inve-
stors to people in charge of the realisation, receive all
the essential information from the get-go. And it is also
imperative for the user to have a clear vision of what li-
ghting solution will look like before the installation is even
in the works. That’s why we frequently perform photo-
simulations of interiors and exteriors and I must say that
I feel our simulations are about 80-90% accurate, as it is
impossible to create a 100% credibility because light is a
very unpredictable phenomenon. Despite the fact that
light is linear and its direction can be predicted, there
are numerous external factors that affect a facade, pu-
blic lighting or material reflexes etc. meaning it is very di-
fficult to visualize everything prior to the realization pro-
cess. That’s why our 80-percent precision actually goes
a long way in serving our clients.
What is the projecting approach you represent in The
House of Light?
We try to approach every project as if it is our only job,
and we never compare it to any other assignment. The-
SELECTION OF LIGHTING FITTINGS IS IN ACCORD WITH INTERIOR
re are no universal lighting solutions, but only rather simi-
lar examples. The only limitation factors in our business
are existing technological sources of light and lamps. In
wich bulbs are situated. Bulbs possess a certain optic,
narrow or wide beam, warm or cold light of a certain
intensity, power, direction options, installation etc. We
are technologically limited, but there are no creative
boundaries, and that ends up as maybe the biggest
problem in our profession. When you’re going for a cer-
tain effect, you always feel that the vision in your head
can be accomplished and permanently maintained,
which is why it isn’t desirable to install lighting objects at
inaccessible places – a facade is damaged if the bulb
stops working and it can’t be replaced. It is important
to analyze all elements – the shape of the house, its lo-
cation and surrounding, which side is more accessible
and which points of view are crucial. As we simulate the
lighting arrangement, we already know where to put
certain types of lamps, how to direct them and arran-
ge all other details, so there aren’t really any surprises.
As our team consists of designers, electro-engineers and
programmers, the product is a complete unit because
of its creative value and because of maximum attenti-
on to issues in technology, energy and management.
All phases of our project include all necessary steps to
make these houses truly intelligent, and to make our cli-
ents feel comfortable and relaxed.

nevažan. Naravno, kao reporter na-
vodim osobno iskustvo i impresiju, ali
taj susret i dojam je tako snažan da
prestaje biti osoban. Velo Grablje je
prije svega biser pučkog graditelj-
stva, ambijentalno remek djelo puč-
kog urbanizma i fizička činjenica.
Pravi mali grad
Danas u je tom gradiću nastanjeno
tek nekoliko kuća i živi pet stalnih sta-
novnika. Po nekim izvorima taj broj je
šest, ali po svemu sudeći biologija je
neumitna i taj broj se mijenja. Obli-
57

žnje Malo Grablje je potpuno na-
pušteno. Velo Grablje je po svemu
gradić u minijaturi i ima sve atribute
urbaniteta. Prije svega tu je razmjer-
no velika crkva izgrađena 1886. go-
dine i mali trg na uzvisini, a u blizini je
i druga važna institucija Poljoprivred-
na zadruga Velo Grablje. Na zapad-
nom rubu naselja je i groblje.
Oko ta dva objekta i trga se organ-
ski razvija naselje u nekoliko ulica i
pravaca, prateći teren, te tako čine
zaokruženu cjelinu. Sve kuće i objek-
ti su građeni tipičnim rukopisom dal-
matinskog pučkog graditeljstva, a
to prije svega podrazumijeva upo-
58
otočkih ratara koji su kamenjaru oti-
mali prostor i izgradili terasasta polja
za uzgoj vinove loze, maslina i po-
sebno lavande. Svaki suhozid, gro-
mača i terasa su izgrađeni rukama,
kamen po kamen i raster suhozida
dominira cijelim krajolikom.
Kuće, ulice i dvorišta su i danas u
odličnom stanje, crkva je u funkciji i
svake nedjelje je misa kojoj osim ne-
koliko stalno naseljenih, prisustvuju i
veliki broj mještana koji danas žive
u Hvaru. Drugi, veći dio populacije
Velog Grablja je uglavnom u preko-
morskim zemljama, najviše u Kalifor-
niji i pretežno se bave vinogradar-
stvom u čemu su vrlo cijenjeni kao i
drugi dalmatinski vinogradari.
Naselje je osnovano krajem 16. sto-

u vrelim ljetnim danima. Zaštićeno je
od direktnog udara juga i bure i na

Polja su posebno zanimljiva, to je
spomenik stoljetnog truda i rada
ca iz središnjeg dijela Hvara i stolje-
ćima se živjelo od poljoprivrede, u
harmoniji sa okolišem. Velike kuće i
prostrane konobe svjedoče o sret-
nijim vremenima i obilnim žetvama,
ali arhitektura je skromna, odmjere-
na i funkcionalna. Šetajući ulicama
naselja od sedamdesetak kuća,
pokušavamo zamisliti živopisno na-
selje, ćakule na skalama, radosnu
viku djece, nedjeljni ručak na velikoj
terasi otvorenoj prema moru i svje-

Trenutak istine
Općina Hvar je od splitsko-dalma-
tinske županije dobila sredstva i pot-
poru za izradu planova revitalizacije
Malog i Velog Grablja, a u okviru šire
inicijative u Dalmaciji u cilju zaštite
pučkog graditeljskog naselja i au-
tentične tradicije. U tijeku su izrade
detaljnih prostornih planova i Velo

privrednom i turističkom smislu. Velo-
grabljani nisu rasprodali djedovinu i
aktivno su uključeni u navedenu ini-
cijativu.
Vrlo je važno da se aktivnost revitali-

a relatively small physical distance, but these
two entities might as well be separated by centuries.

tion spot are firmly rooted in the 21st century. But a short
trip to Velo Grablje is enough to take us to what the 19th
century must have felt like, as our thoughts bring back
the Mediterranean of old that exists in the sounds and
aromas of our early childhood.
After merely several hours in this town, that original impre-
ssion of past centuries transforms into a timeless dimen-
sion where the very aspect of time becomes irrelevant.
Naturally, I am merely a reporter who is writing about
personal experience and impression, but this encounter
left such a strong mark that it ceased being personal.
 After merely several hours in this town, that

original impression of past centuries tran-
sforms into a timeless dimension where the
very aspect of time becomes irrelevant. Velo
Grablje is primarily a pearl of traditional archi-
tecture, an ambience-evoking masterpiece of
traditional urbanism and a physical fact

tely deserted. Velo Grablje has all the elements of a true

little town with all the urban attributes. We are primarily
referring to the reasonably large church, which was built
in 1886, and to the small square on a slope, and we also
find an important institution like the Velo Grablje Agri-
cultural Community nearby. The western section of the
town is occupied by the local cemetery.
These two objects and the town square are the orga-
nic centre of the town that consists of several streets
and roads, and they create a harmonic unit with the
accompanying turf. All houses and objects were built in
typical Dalmatian architecture, which primarily implies
the usage of stone. The town is situated in a small valley

True little town

Only several houses in this small town are inhabi-
ted nowadays, and only five people decided on
this town as their permanent place of residence.
Some sources say that number is six, but biology
is ultimately merciless and that number is chan-
ging. The neighbouring Malo Grablje is comple-

PANORAMIC VIEW ON VELO GRABLJE

in the middle of the island with an open view over Pa-

kleni Islands, and is oriented towards the pleasantness of
the sea breeze that brings comfort in hot summer days.
The town is protected from direct hits of southern and
northern winds, while the nearby slopes reveal fields co-
vered in drywall. They are particularly interesting, as they
stand as a monument of centuries of hard work from
the island’s farmers who conquered the stone turf and
created terrace fields filled with wine grape, olives and
especially lavender. Every drywall and terrace was built
with bare hands – one stone at a time, and a line of
drywalls dominates the entire area.
Houses, streets and yards are still in excellent condition,
and the church is also still in function and holds a holy
mass every Sunday, which is attended by the several
residents and a large number of locals who are currently
located in Hvar. The much larger section of the Velo
Grablje population is now located in transatlantic co-
untries, particularly in California where they still produce
very wine of very high quality, just like numerous other
Dalmatian wine producers.
The town was formed in late 16th century when several
families moved from the centre of Hvar, and everyone
lived in harmony with nature and working in agriculture
for centuries. Large houses and spacious pantries bring
back happier times and rich harvests, but the architectu-
re is modest, well-measured and functional. As we walk

the streets of this town with about

seventy houses, we’re doing our
best to imagine a vivacious small
town with small talk on the sta-
irs, the children’s playful yelling,
and a Sunday lunch on the large
terrace facing the sea, and all
these things deliver an image of
true harmony between people
and the natural ambience.

Moment of truth
Hvar District recently received
funds from the Split-Dalmatia
County to create a revitalization
plan for Velo and Malo Grablje,
which is a part of the ongoing initiative to protect tradi-
tional architecture and authentic tradition in Dalmatia.
Detailed physical planning is currently in the process,
which will hopefully result in Velo Grablje being revitali-
zed in agricultural and tourist sense. The people of Velo
Grablje refused to sell away their ancestors’ land and
are an active part of this initiative. It is very important
to prevent the trivialization of this process, which would
turn this town into a tourist location without any foun-
dation in real life. The logical first step is to renovate the
demolished parts of town and create a healthy basis for
the return of people who used to live here. There is a big
difference between being a tourist and coming over for
a couple of days while searching for new experiences
and creating a real life with your existence at stake in
this town. After the neglected houses are renovated and
essential infrastructural procedures are performed, we
will be faced with the moment of truth in which we will
see if it is possible to succeed in such a complex process
of creating a new form of life in a certain location that
doesn’t disrupt its tradition and ambience. Tourist-wise,
this is absolutely crucial, as authenticity is this area’s one
true asset that can restore life, harmony and wealth to

dc FINE STVARI

radikalnog dizajna
Zbirka “Valentina, La donna è mobile”
potječe iz teorije umjetničkog pokreta Ra-
dical Design, koji proizvode više ne dizaj-
nira u pogledu njihove puke funkcije, već
ih pretvara u stvarni “emocionalni medij”
što utjecajima iz svijeta umjetnosti i filo-
zofije stvara inovativne predmete i komade
namještaja, projekte i prototipove. Zbirka
se temelji na uvjerenju o umjetnosti koja
slijedi um te dizajnu koji to čini s tijelom.

Bringing a Radical Design to Life

Collection “Valentina, La Donne è Mobile” originates from the theory of an art movement called Radi-
cal Design, which no longer aims to design products with their mere function in mind, but rather prefers
to turn them into real “emotional mediums” that come off as innovative objects and pieces of furniture,
projects and prototypes with influences from art and philosophy. The collection is based on the vision
of art that follows the mind, as well as design that follows the body.

Tandem za neogranièene
moguænosti
Do-Lo-Rez je prva zajednièka zbirka
dvaju velikana avangardnog dizaj-
na nanimarquine i Morosa koje je
za ovu prigodu okupio Ron Arad.
Rijeè je o spoju dva struèno izraðe-
na komada u jedan element.
Sofu je proizveo Moroso a tepih
nanimarquina, mogu se kombini-
rati za stvaranje neogranièenih moguænosti gdje se dva komada zajedno mogu ugraditi vertikalno ili horizontalno. Svaki tepih je
sastavljen od razlièitih kvadrata razlièitih nijanse (izmeðu 8 i 12 boja po tepihu) i tri razlièite dubine (8mm, 15mm, 30mm) koje stvaraju
raznolike efekte.
Ima projekta Do-Lo-Rez dolazi od izraza “do low resolution” i temelji se na
konceptu piksela, vitalne komponente virtualnog svijeta.

A Duo for Endless Possibilities

Do-Lo-Rez is the first joint collection from two great brands of avant-garde desi-
gn – nanimarquina and Moroso, which were brought together for this occasion
by Ron Arad. They created a combination of two wonderfully crafted pieces
into one element.
The sofa was produced by Moroso, while the carpet was created by nanimarqu-
ina, and these two elements can be positioned vertically or horizontally to cre-
ate endless possibilities together. Every carpet consists of different squares with
different shades of colour (between 8 and 12 colours per carpet) and three
different levels of depth (8mm, 15mm, 30mm) that create different effects.
The project’s name Do-Lo-Rez comes from the term “do low resolution”, which
is based on the concept of pixel, virtual world’s vital component.

cilj stvoriti zabavnu, zaigranu i sveobuhvatnu interakciju s korisnicima.

Headphones with a Feeling

This September, Sony Ericsson introduced the world to the first set of headphones that are activated by movement and the user’s “feeling”. The
intelligent MH907 headphones are started simply by plugging them into your ears, and they are set on pause by removing one of them from
your ear. If you want to continue listening, all you have to do is put it back into your ear. The same method is used for taking and finishing pho-
ne calls. Sony Ericsson’s SensMe Control technology reacts without pressing any buttons. Accompanied by the Clear Audio experience, Sony
Ericsson and internationally renowned animator Kristofer Strom have also created a short film that demonstrates this product’s technology.
“With MH907, users can keep their telephone in their pocket and still remain connected all day and every day, as they just plug or remove the
headset from their ear – there is no need for remote control or buttons of any kind”, says Jacob Sten, Senior Vice-President of SEMC Accesso-
ries. MH907 supports this brand’s advanced strategy with the goal of creating a fun, playful and complete interaction among the users.

„Naopaki“ susret staroga i suvremenoga

Kiparica, slikarica i grafièka dizajnerica Liana Jaroslavljski lansirala je svoju prvu kolekciju stolova na križanju vremena i
inovacija. Djelo je plod njezine kozmopolitske kulture i èestih putovanja. Inspiraciju pronalazi u glazbi, od Lennyja Kra-
vitza do Chopina te iz fotografije i kinematografije, a kolekciju je zapoèela okretanjem naopako Muranovog lustera
iz 19. stoljeæa, nakon što joj je zatrebao stoliš za kafu te je razvijanjem tog postupka ostvarila mješavinu paradoksa i
profinjenosti, barokne i suvremene vizije.

The “Reverse” Encounter of Old and Modern

Sculptor, painter and graphic designer Liana Yaroslavsky has launched her first table collection at the crossroads of time
and innovations. The work stands as a result of her cosmopolitan culture and frequent journeys. She finds inspiration
in various types of music, from Lenny Kravitz to Chopin, as well as in fields of photography and cinematography, and
this collection was started when she turned a 19th-century Murano chandelier upside down in need of a coffee table,
and that action managed to achieve a mix of paradox and sophistication, baroque and contemporary vision.

Written by: Romina Peritz

ery few hotel projects attracted as
much attention over the last several
years as the recent reopening of the
art-deco Midland Hotel in Morecam-
be Bay on the northwest of England.
A hotel from the 1930s, which used to
serve as a popular refuge to icons like Coco Chanel,
Wallace Simpson and Laurence Olivier, has lately been
left for decay, until the award-winning constructors from
Urban Splash and architects from Union North started an
impressive renovation and revitalization process of the
building. DuPont Corian is proud to be a part of this
gigantic transformation, which should help Midland in
becoming a unique design destination with perfect har-
mony between modern architectonic interior solutions
and art-deco flavours of the past.
The hotel’s middle level comes in the form of the ma-
gical Rotonda Bar, a sculptural installation in, which is
shaped like a circular tape in colours Glacier White and
Beach Glass.
The design’s elegance calls upon the sophistication
and glamour of the 1930s, while the nurtured lines and
stitch-free corners provide the product with a futuristic
attractiveness. “We used Corian for the Rotunda Bar
because we needed a solution for smooth glassy cor-

 DuPont is a company based on a scientific appro-
ach to manufacturing and providing services.
Started in 1802, DuPont uses science as basis for
creation of maintainable solutions that are requ-
ired for a better, safer and healthier life. Active in
over 70 countries, DuPont offers a wide range of
innovative products and market services, inclu-
ding agriculture, food, construction, communica-
tion and transport.
DuPont Corian is a solid covering material that
is used in numerous situations and different se-
gments like restaurants, medical institutions, ho-
tels, public facilities and retail stores, as well as for
home decoration, furniture, lighting and decora-
tion objects. It is a non-porous, hard material that
is resistant to stains, easily cleaned, durable, re-
newable and can be repaired. Available in aro-
und 100 colours, can be shaped within almost all
types of design.

the design’s complex geometrics”, says Su Stringfellow,

architect from Union North. “The material needed to be
hygienic and tight, but we have previously worked with
Corian while decorating bars and restaurants, so we
were aware of the material’s quality and it ended up
being a rather simple decision”.
DuPont Corian in Glacier White is also found on the Fun-
ction Room bar, where it is combined with Summer Sky

tones of the wallpapers to create an attractive centre

of thick colour and geometric playfulness. “Creating a
precise, well-balanced colour tone was extremely im-
portant because it had to match the predetermined
palette of Art Deco heritage in terms of wall colour”,
says Stringfellow, “and Corian had the widest spectrum
with the perfect match of Summer Sky”.
Guests who stay in the Honeymoon Suite or one of the
penthouse apartments will also find DuPont Corian with
its dramatic effect in bathrooms and wall surfaces. The
material “is too obvious for closets and rather complica-
74
ted in terms of design, and we needed a material that
is simultaneously bearing, hygienic and durable”, says
Stringfellow.
The advantages of DuPont Corian as a superficial ma-
terial in accommodation establishments on the road
surpass the boundaries of versatility and fresh, clean
aesthetics. It also offers durability, resistance to stains
and simple maintenance in terms of regular cleaning
methods. In cases of other accidental damages, surfa-
ces are repairable and renewable, which offers a long-
standing, maintainable functionality as a crucial asset
for contemporary designers and owners of the Midland
Hotel. Homogeneous, without any stitches or porosity,
the material offers additional advantages in the aspect
of hygiene, which increases its importance in accom-
modation establishments.
DuPont Corian also provides exceptional hygienic cha-
racteristics. Independent organization LGA Qualitest
Gmbh has performed a string of comparative tests and
verified its hygienic performances, which were declared
vastly superior to those of various conventional materi-
als. DuPont Corian can also improve the quality of air in
indoor environments. Environmental institute Greengu-
ard presented it with the GREENGUARD Indoor Air Qua-
lity certificate that guarantees its hard surfaces staying
within imperative levels of emission.

a zapadnoj strani Kaštelanskog za-
ljeva, područja u kojem su nađeni
tragovi civilizacije još iz pretpovije-
snih vremena, na otočiću između
kopna i otoka Čiova smjestio se
grad Trogir. Naselje su osnovali Grci
iz Syracuse na Siciliji i trgovci sa Isse u
3. stoljeću prije Krista. Nazvali su ga
Tragurion po grčkom nazivu za kozu tragos, kojih je
bilo jako puno po obližnjoj planini Kozjaku. Pronađen
je značajan broj arheoloških nalaza koji su datirani u
to vrijeme i dragocjeni su za rekonstrukciju najranije
faze najstarijeg naselja u ovom dijelu Dalmacije.
Kasnije faze antičkog i posebno srednjovjekovnog
Trogira su znatno bolje očuvane do današnjih vre-
mena i razlog su uvrštenja na prestižnu UNESCO-vu
listu svjetske baštine.
Nakon završetka građanskog rata između Pompeja
i Cezara, u kojem se Tragurion zajedno sa Issom na-
šao na poraženoj strani, osniva se municipij Roman
Tragurion. Obližnja Salona je metropola Rimske pro-
vincije Dalmacije i iz tog grada se u četvrtom sto-
ljeću širi rano kršćanstvo na istočnoj obali Jadrana.
Posebno je značajan kult mučenika sv. Dujma, pr-
vog biskupa salonitanske crkve i u Trogiru su se prvi
kršćani okupljali kraj Južnih vrata na mjestu današ-
njeg samostana i crkve sv. Nikole.

Odlična lokacija za obranu

U sedmom stoljeću na području Trogira i Kaštelan-
skog zaljeva se nastanjuju i Hrvati. Salona je razorena,

bilježe prvi pisani dokumenti hrvatskih

pimira iz 852. godine. Trogir, kao i dru-
gi tipični mediteranski i dalmatinski
gradovi tog vremena je multietnička
i multikulturna zajednica u kojem hr-
vatski element uz ilirski, grčki i rimski
polako postaje prevladavajući.
Grad, smješten na otočiću, zaštićen
morem i zidinama u srednjem vijeku
je vrlo dobra lokacija za uspješnu
obranu od neprijatelja imajući u vidu
naoružanje i strategiju tog vremena.

obnove i adaptacije pojedinih obje-
kata na otoku i grad jest biser sred-
njovjekovne arhitekture. U turističkom
smislu grad sa okolicom i obližnjim
otocima u destinacijskom smislu ima
potencijal Dubrovnika i vrlo je važ-
no kako će se rasplesti aktualna pri-
ča oko privatizacije brodogradilišta.

kom pravcu i trenutno je relevantan

bičića koji predviđa bitno drugačiji
sadržaj na poluotoku na kojem je
sada smješten škver. Projekt za to je
naručen u uredu glasovitog Norma-

 Trogir

dc HERRITAGE
The City of Angels
Trogir is an excellently
preserved example of a
medieval fortified town
located on a little island,
with a string of monuments
that are an integral part of
the Croatian heritage. It is
particularly interesting for
traditional Dalmatian
construction heritage
within the planned town’s
urban raster.

B etween the mainland and the island of Čiovo,
on the western side of the Kaštela Gulf, in an
area that possesses traces of civilization from
prehistoric times, we find the town of Trogir.
The town was formed by Greeks from Syra-
cuse, Sicily, as well as by merchants from Issa in the 3rd
century BC. It was named Tragurion after a Greek term
for “goat”- “tragos”, as there were plenty of goats on the
neighbouring mountain of Kozjak. A significant number of
archaeological traces that date back to this period have
been found, and they are a very precious element in the
process of reconstructing the earliest phase of the oldest
town in this part of Dalmatia. The subsequent stages of
ancient and particularly medieval Trogir have been much
more preserved, which resulted in Trogir being selected
for the prestigious UNESCO list of world heritage. After
the end of the civil war between Pompey and Caesar,
which saw Tragurion and Issa find themselves on the side
of the defeated, the Roman-Tragurion Municipality was
started. The neighbouring Salona became the capital of
Roman province Dalmatia, as well as the main source of
expanding Christianity of the eastern side of the Adriatic.
Special significance goes to the cult of St. Dujam, the first
bishop of the Salona Church, and the first Christians in Tro-
gir gathered around the Southern Gates, in the position
of today’s convent and St. Nicholas church.

82
Excellent location for defence
During the seventh century, Croatians inha-
bited the area of Trogir and the Kaštela Gulf.
Salona has been demolished, and Croatians
started living on the opposite side of river Ja-
dro, but also in Bijaći near Trogir. This is where
archaeologists found the first written docu-
ments from Croatian rulers, like the decree by
Count Trpimir from year 852. Trogir, like any ty-
pical Mediterranean and Dalmatian town of
that era, functioned as a multi-ethnical and
multicultural community, in which the Croati-
an element slowly started to dominate Illyrian,
Greek and Roman sections. The town, located
on a small island, was protected by the walls
and the sea, which served as excellent loca-
tion for successful defence against the enemy
during the Middle Ages, keeping in mind the
strategy and weaponry of that era. From the
period of Croatian rulers, numerous significant
monuments of the early Romanic period have
been preserved. However, the town was at
the peak of its powers during the thirteenth,

fourteenth and fifteenth century, which is when all the
important objects, churches and convents in the town
have been built. In 1200, the construction of the St. Lo-
vre Cathedral started on the main town square, and the
relatively poor medieval community needed a hundred
years to complete that Romanic object, while the chur-
ch tower took wasn’t finished before another hundred
years went by. The church tower signals a slight transition
from the Romanic to Gothic style, while the top floor alre-
ady showed signs of the Renaissance. The masterpiece
of Romanic sculpturing in our country comes in the form
of the Portal of Master Radovan, which was finished in
1240 at the cathedral entrance. The cathedral radiates
Romanic mystique and hosts another significant element
of Croatian heritage on its left side – The Chapel of Ble-
ssed Ivan Orsini, the most significant renaissance monu-
ment in Dalmatia. Authors Nikola Firentinac, Andrija Aleši
and Ivan Duknović projected the chapel after Jupiter’s
Temple from Diocletian’s Palace, so its shape and dimen-
sions pay homage to the ancient roots of architecture in
this area. The church’s central part features a cross that
was painted by Blaž Jurjev, Dalmatia’s most important
painter of the 15th century, in 1440.
The town reveals several other significant churches and
convents of pre-Romanic, Romanic and Gothic perio-
ds, as well as numerous palaces, municipal objects, forts
and towers. However, the town’s most fascinating as-
pect comes in the form of the urban raster of the pla-
nned medieval town with the main square featuring a
cathedral and the city hall. Other medieval towns regu-
84
larly have the main church on one square and the city
hall on the other square, but those two objects stand
side by side on the same Trogir square. The city-hall buil-
ding still serves the same purpose, seven centuries after
it was first mentioned.
Norman Foster for future
The stone that was used to build the town comes from the
nearby quarry, which also existed in the ancient times.
Streets, houses and palaces stand as a typical example
of traditional Dalmatian architecture. Local institutions
that look after the preservation of heritage control all
activities regarding the renovation and adaptation of
certain objects on the island, and this town truly is a pe-
arl of medieval architecture. Tourism-wise, the town, its
immediate environment and the neighbouring islands
have Dubrovnik-like potential in terms of the destination,
which makes the result of the ongoing shipyard privati-
zation even more important. It is generally considered
that the town needs to direct its strategy towards the
tourism sector, and one of the most current projects co-
mes from businessman Slobodan Ljubičić who designed
a significantly different set of activities on the peninsu-
la than the existing shipyard. This project was ordered
in the office of renowned Norman Foster, and if it goes
through, Trogir will experience a major breakthrough in
terms of development. After Radovan, Nikola Firentinac,
Blaž Jurjev and Ivan Duknović, it is logical for another
great figure like Norman Foster to make his mark in the
town of angels.

boci vina
Piše: Romina Peritz Foto: Lupino

U našoj svakoj boci skriven

je duh otoka», slogan je
poznatog hvarskog vi-
nara Andro Tomića. A
kada se zamišlja najsun-
čaniji hrvatski otok gotovo da je logično
da dar prirode, u ovom slučaju vinova
loza, bude usko povezan sa životom na
Hvaru.
uz neophodni glamour koji danas prati
uspješne vinare.

Živa i duga tradicija

Povezati staro i novo san je svakog vi-
nogradara, a Tomić je u mnogočemu u
tome uspio. Rođen Hvaranin, dobro je
osjetio vlastiti otok, na koji su stari Grci
još u četvrtom stoljeću prije naše ere
donijeli vinovu lozu i nasadili plodno
starogradsko polje. Ali, Tomić je otišao
i korak dalje, pa je nastavio posao svo-
jih predaka, ali mu dao novu dimenziju,
Loza i vino Hvaranima su uvijek bili i hra-
na i lijek, kako navodi sam Tomić, ali pri-
je svega i sigurnost. Raskoš mediterana
donosio je na stol delicije koje su prije
svega značile za one koji su ih proizvo-
dili siguran život, uz mnogo truda i odri-
canja. Tako je bilo uostalom i kod svih
generacija Tomićevih, a isti put prošao
je i Andro Tomić. Dvadeset godina nije
živio na otoku, ali je to vrijeme iskoristio
za učenje sve onoga što je danas naj-
novije u proizvodnji vina. Nove tehno-
logije, uz dar prirode, jedini su recept
uspjeha, a 1997. Tomić osniva firmu Ba-

92
93
 stijan, kojoj je cilj promicanje kulture
vina, ali i proizvodnja najboljeg od
najboljeg, kada je riječ o vinima.
Tomić je bio svjestan ogromne kon-
kurencije koja danas vlada u svijetu
vinara i od samog početka je znao
da može uspjeti jedino ako proizvodi
najbolje, što će i svijet tako prihvati-
ti. Domaće sorte vina, koje su Hva-
rani njegovali kroz stoljeća burne
prošlosti, bile su dobar temelj za to.
Ali, ipak je ostao izazov kako sve to
zaokružiti i dobiti proizvod koji će se
moći natjecati u surovoj utakmici
svjetskih vinara. Vrlo brzo Tomić je
pronašao formulu da njegova firma
Bastijana stekne ugled kod znalaca
vina i da, što je ujedno i najvažnije,
postane sinonim za kvalutetu. «Filo-
zofija naše kuće je proizvesti što kva-
litetnija vina, te održati živom dugu
tradiciju obogaćujući je uvijek po-
nekim novim proizvodom», napisao
je sam Andro Tomić, predstavljajući
svoju firmu.
Impozantan podrum smješten je u
novosagrađenoj vinariji u uvali Mina
u Jelsi, a danas Tomić proizvodi oko
150.000 boca godišnje. Cijela obitelj
je u biznisu, a pomažu i u firmi rade
i mnogi Hvarani, neki za stalno, neki
povremeno. Po uzoru na starorimske
prostorije za blagovanje Tomić je u
podrumu vlastite vinarije u kamenu
isklesao dio, koji je namijenjen za de-
gustaciju. U konobi obiteljske kuće u
staroj Jelsi uređen je i Studio za vino,
koji će posjetitelja odvesti u čarobni
svijet vinarstva, raznih vinskih kultura,
ali upoznati i s dugom tradicijom uz-
goja vinove loze na predivnom oto-
ku Hvaru.

je donijele sve moguće novosti, ali
bačve ostaju osnov za čuvanje i
dozrijevanje vina. Bačve daju vinu
i onaj poseban i potreban okus,
koji je prepoznatljiv za cijeli proces,
od sazrijevanja do dorade i zrenja.
Mnoga vina iz Tomićevog podruma
prepoznata su po svojoj kvaliteti i
posebnom okusu, poput nagrađiva-
nih vina Plavac mali, koje je između
ostalog i dobilo nagradu zbog pažlji-
ve dorade i zrenja u hrastovim ba-
čvama. Na spisku nagrađivanih vina
je i Opolo nobile, Plavac, Hektor.
Tomić se posebno ponosi prošekom,
izvornim hrvatskim desertnim vinom
od posušenog grožđa najkvalitetni-
jih autohtonih dalmatinskih sorti.
Sve je to rezultat i klime na Hvaru, koji
ima 2730 sunčanih sati godišnje. Po-
godan godišnji raspored oborina te
niska relativna vlažnost zraka u pe-
riodu rasta i zrenja bobica također
povoljno utječu na rast loze i kvali-
tetu grožđa, a nepovoljno na biljne
bolesti. Ne zaboravimo i rijedak dar
među vječno žednim mediteranskim
otocima - izvore žive vode. Tomićevi
imaju vinograde na paklenim oto-
cima, u starogradskom polju, te u
okolici Jelse. Želja im je proširiti se i u
uvalu Vira kraj samog grada Hvara.
Dominiraju sorte plavac mali i pla-
vac veliki kao crne sorte, te pošip,
bogdanuša, maraština i prč kao bi-
jele. Od drugih sorata tu je drneku-
šica, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet
franc, merlot, kuč, muškat rumeni i
još neke stare autohtone sorte.
Sve u svemu, tradicija, podneblje i
upornost prepoznati su u svijetu, a

The spirit of the island
in the bottle of wine
Written by: Romina Peritz Photo: Lupino

Ancient Greeks and Romans used amphoras to transport wine, and
today’s technologies changed a lot of things in that area, but barrels re-
mained the basis of the process of keeping and holding the wine. Barrels
also provide the wine with that special necessary flavour that is recogni-
zable for the entire process, from holding to processing the wine

E ach of our bottles cap-

tures the spirit of the
island”, says Andro To-
mić, famous winemaker
from Hvar. And when we
think about the sunniest Croatian island,
it is perfectly logical to connect a gift of
nature like wine grape with all elements of
the Hvar life.
Connecting new and old elements is every
winemaker’s dream, and Tomić has surely
made that dream a reality. Born in Hvar, he
has a natural understanding of the island
that was filled with wine grape by ancient
Greeks four centuries before Christ. Howe-
ver, Tomić has taken it one step further by
adding a new dimension to the methods
of his predecessors and introducing gla-
mour into the winemaking business.

Long alive tradition

Wine grape and wine itself have always
served as food and medicine to the peo-
ple of Hvar, says Tomić, but they primarily
brought a sense of security. Mediterrane-
an richness filled the table with delicacies
that provided safety for those who worked
very hard to produce them. That is what
happened with all Tomić generations, and
Andro Tomić was no exception. He spent
twenty years outside of the island, but he
used that period of time to learn all the
newest methods in the winemaking business. A combination of these
new technologies and natural blessings are the only recipe for succe-
ss, and Tomić started a company called Bastijan in 1997, which has the
job of promoting the culture of wine, but also producing the best wine
you could ever find.
Tomić was well-aware of the enormous amount of competition in
today’s winemaking business, and he knew the only way to succeed
was to produce the best possible product, which would be recognized
by the whole world. Local wine types, which were produced by the
people of Hvar for centuries, served as a good enough foundation.
However, he still had to face the challenge of combining all elements
to create the product that will be competitive on today’s wine mar-
ket. It didn’t take long for Tomić to find the necessary formula, and
his company Bastijan soon earned its reputation with wine lovers and
became synonymous for quality. “Our house’s philosophy is to produ-
ce the best possible wine, as well as retaining centuries of tradition by
adding several new products”, says Andro Tomić in a presentation of
his company.
The imposing newly-built wine cellar is located in Mina Beach in Jelsa,
and Tomić now produces around 150.000 bottles per year. The entire
family is involved in the business, and numerous locals also help out,
permanently or occasionally. Trying to emulate old Roman dining-room
96
style, Tomić built a small stone space for sommeliers in his
cellar. The family-house pantry in Jelsa has been tran-
sformed into a wine studio, which guarantees to take
visitors into a magical world of wine and different wine
cultures, as well as introducing them to a long tradition
of producing wine on the beautiful island of Hvar.
Awarded wines
Ancient Greeks and Romans used amphoras to transport
wine, and today’s technologies changed a lot of things
in that area, but barrels remained the basis of the process
of keeping and holding the wine. Barrels also provide the
wine with that special necessary flavour that is recogniza-
ble for the entire process, from holding to processing the
wine. Numerous types of wine from Tomić’s cellar are re-
nowned for their quality and special flavour, such as the
award-winning Plavac Mali, which is the result of meticu-
lous holding and processing in oak-wood barrels. Awards
have also been presented to wines Opolo Nobile, Plavac
and Hektor. Tomić takes special pride in his sherry wine,
which is the original Croatian dessert wine made of top-
quality autochthon Dalmatian dry grapes.
All this wouldn’t have happened without the Hvar clima-
te, which offers 2730 sunny hours per year. The conveni-
ent yearly raining schedule and the low level of relative
humidity in the air during the growing and maturing peri-
od also have a positive effect on the growth and quality
of wine grapes, while being effectively fatal to numero-
us plant diseases. Let’s also not forget a rare blessing for
the constantly thirsty Mediterranean islands – sources of
fresh water. The Tomić family owns vineyards on Pakleni
Islands, in the fields of Stari Grad, and in the Jelsa area.
It is their ambition to expand their operations to beach
Vir near the town of Hvar. The dominating wine types
are Plavac Mali and Veliki as red wine, and pošip, bog-
danuša, maraština and prč as white wine. Other wine
types include drnekušica, cabernet sauvignon, caber-
net franc, merlot, kuč, red mace wine, and some other
autochthon types.
In the end, it must be said that tradition, autochthon
background and persistence are recognized all over
the world, and Andro Tomić stands as one of the most
important Croatian wine makers who is also renowned
outside of the country.

Design fireplaces in
Špina’s showrooms
Ever since 1960 when this Italian company was
started, Piazzetta has established itself as one of
the leading European fireplace manufacturers.
Products from the Piazzetta Design series, which
put a lot of emphasis on meticulous fireplace de-
signs, are now available in Špina stores in Poreè,
Pula, Rijeka, Zagreb, Varaždin and Split. The main
construction materials are clay, marble, metals and
a specific type of ceramics – majolica. The lines
are minimalist and sharp, while the heat is further
emphasized by the special Multifuoco distribution
system. The products are available in several di-
mensions, colours and shapes, and are presented
in three separate series. There are two main versi-
ons of fireplaces: the traditional one, which uses
wood as the burning material, and the contempo-
rary one which runs on gas.

Wienerberger presented new
construction system
Company Wienerberger presented their new construction
system for the 21st century with the latest product: POROT-
HERM PLAN clay blocks with the
usage of thin-layered POROTHERM
mortar as adhesive. These products
will increasingly simplify the pro-
cess of building houses, as well as
positively influence the preserva-
tion of energy and the quality of
construction. POROTHERM PLAN
clay bricks are a natural and eco-
logically acceptable product that is
passed through a precise grinder
on both sides with a controlled
computer process. The blocks are
made of natural materials – clay,
sand and sawdust, and can be subsequently recycled. This
new construction system for the 21st century has been tested
at IGH Zagreb.
Dizajnerski kamini u
salonima tvrtke Špina
Od svog osnutka 1960. godine pa do danas
talijanska tvrtka Piazzetta profilirala se u jednu
od vodeæih europskih kompanija za proizvod-
nju kamina. Proizvode iz linije Piazzetta design,
koja osobitu pažnju polaže na pomno osmišljen
dizajn kamina, odnedavno je moguæe pronaæi u
salonima Špine u Poreèu, Puli, Rijeci, Zagrebu,
Varaždinu i Splitu. Kao materijali za izradu ko-
riste se glina, mramor, metali i posebna vrsta
keramike - majolica, linije su minimalistièke i
oštre, a toplina se dodatno potencira posebnim
sustavom distribucije, sistemom Multifuoco.
Dostupni u više dimenzija, boja i oblika, kroz tri
osnovne linije. Kamini se nude u dvije verzije:
tradicionalnoj - koja za održavanje vatre koristi
drvo te suvremenoj koja funkcionira na plin.

Nova serija Schmidler slavina

Schmidler od studenog 2009. ima nadopunjen asortiman novim
serijama slavina. Siluete, slavina koja svojom siluetom ocrtava
jednostavnost i profinjenost, a svojim dizajnom je uklopiva u
svaki dom. Point, elegantna, a opet moderna slavina koja osva-
ja minimalistièkim dizajnom i elegancijom èistih linija. Obje se-
rije proizvode se u Hrvatskoj. U slavine Schmidler ugraðuje se
Hydroplast (Italija) keramièka ploèica (kartuša) i NEOPERL (Švi-
carska) perlator, èime jamèe vrhunsku trajnost i izdržljivost, a
dodatno su testirane i mogu izdržati minimalno 100 otvaranja i
zatvaranja svaki dan 5 godina bez prestanka. To iznosi 180 000
puta! Testom na buku utvrðeno je da “stvaraju” buku manju
od 18 db i time spadaju u prvu klasu po kategorizaciji kvalitete
mehanizma.

New series of Schmidler faucets

Schmidler has updated its assortment with new series of faucets from No-
vember 2009. Faucet Siluete with its silhouette exemplifies simplicity and
sophistication, while also possessing design that will perfectly fit into each
home. Point is elegant but also modern faucet that conquers with minimalist
design and elegance of pure lines. Both series are manufactured in Croatia.
Schmidler faucets feature Hydroplast (Italy) ceramic tiles (cartridge) and NE-
OPERL (Switzerland) aerators. They guarantee a high level of durability as
they’ve been submitted to additional testing – they can release and close
the water 100 times a day for five years. That is all together 180 000 times!
The volume tests established that these faucets “create” less than 18 DB of
noise, which puts them in the top-category of quality mechanisms.

fotografijama na temu Grožnja-
na uz nezaobilazne prepoznatljive
lupinovske scene s ljepoticama. Grožnjan, grad
umjetnika već četrdesetak godina, pokazao se
kao nepresušna inspiracija poznatom fotografu.
Kroz portrete i motive grožnjanskih ulica Lupino je
na svojstven način dočarao posebnost toga mje-
 dc GASTRO
sta. Lupinove fotografije svojevrsni su dokument umjetnič-
kog života Grožnjana. Posvećujući posebnu pažnju detalji-
ma Lupino fotografira stanovnike, goste tamošnjih likovnih,
glazbenih, kazališnih događanja, ali i slučajne prolaznike,
ulične zabavljače, prodavače, umjetnike, djecu, stare ka-
mene kuće, cvijeće na prozorima, vrtovima, ulicama. Da
nema pomno izrežiranih prizora s ljepoticama rekli bismo
da je to sasvim jedan novi, drugačiji Lupino!
Lupinove fotografije diskretno upotpunjuju tri kraća teksta
koja potpisuju načelnik općine Grožnjan Rino Duniš, zatim
nezaobilazni gost, glazbenik Boško Petrović te Eugen Bor-
kovsky. Knjiga, koju je Lupino i grafički uredio izašla je u iz-

icturesque little Istrian town Grožnjan received a very

impressive photo-monograph, courtesy of renowned
photographer Stephen Lupino. The book is filled
with artistic photographs portraying Grožnjan, and
accompanied with Lupino’s trademark unavoidable
scenes with beautiful women. Grožnjan, the artist’s town for over
forty years, has once again proved to be a permanent inspiration
110
for the famous photographer. Lu-
pino displayed portraits and motifs
of Grožnjan streets that perfectly
capture everything that is special
about this little town, and his pho-
tographs stand as a document of
Grožnjan’s artistic life. Putting a
great deal of emphasis on details,
Lupino takes pictures of local peo-
ple, guests of local art, music and
theatre events, as well as acciden-
tal passengers, street entertainers,
sellers, artists, children, old stone
houses, as well as flowers in win-
dows, gardens and streets. If the-
re weren’t for carefully directed
scenes with beautiful women, we
would be seeing a whole different
side of Lupino. Lupino’s photo-
graphs are discretely completed
by three short texts signed by Gro-
žnjan mayor Rino Duniš, the town’s
constant guest and musician Boš-
ko Petrović, and Eugen Borkovsky.
The book was also graphically edi-

njem raznobojnih pravilnih kockica
kamena, stakla ili keramike. Kroz
Grčku i Rim pojavljuje se kao deko-
rativni element u arhitekturi. Nakon
procvata u Bizantu, primjena mo-
zaika pada u sjenu jednostavnijih
likovnih tehnika. Danas u arhitek-
turi i dizajnu mozaik postaje glavni
dekorativni element u oslikavanju
zidnih, podnih i svodnih površina.
Vodeći svjetski brand u proizvod-
nji i primjeni mozaika je talijanska
tvrtka Sicis iz Ravene, koja je ispred
sebe postavila cilj da tu tradicio-
nalnu tehniku prilagodi suvreme-
nom dizajnu.
Cilj je više nego uspješno realiziran
što se vidi iz kolekcija i uspješnih
projekata diljem svijeta.
Filozofija tvrtke je da ne promatra
mozaik kao materijal za oblogu,
već kao medij za komunikaciju i
izraz trenda, mode i stila života.
Sicis površine tretira kao ikone koje
prenose simbole i jezik današnjice.

M osaic is dated in
antic ages as a
painting tehnic,
performed with
composing regu-
lar chicken in di-
fferent colours of stone, glass or cera-
mic. In Greek and Rome, mosaic is in
use as decorativ element in architec-
ture. After flourishing in Bizant, using of
mosaic became unimportant com-
pare with later simple artistic technic.
Today in architecture and design, mo-
saic became most important decora-
tive elament in painting of walls, floor
and dome surface.
Leading world brand in producing
and using of mosaic is italian compa-
ny Sicis from Ravena, which setting the
goal to adjust that traditional tehnic
to contemporary design. Goal is more
than successfully realised and that is
obvious from collections and projects

mosaic as simple tilling product, but
as a means of communication and

rok kod gradnje traži prije svega
uključivanje adekvatnih, suvremenih
materijala kod zatvaranja objekta i
komunikacije unutarnjeg i vanjskog
prostora.
Umjetni materijal visoke
postojanosti
Za potpune laike, PVC je skraće-
ni naziv za kemijsku smjesu polivi-
nil – klorida. Riječ je o plastičnom,

umjetnom materijalu dobivenom
obradom prirodnih sirovina, soli i naf-
te. PVC kao jedan od najprilagod-
ljivijih i najrasprostranjenijih umjetnih
materijala visoke postojanosti dobija
se dugim nizom proizvodnih postu-
paka, no nas, prije svega interesira
njegova uporabna vrijednost. Što to
čini PVC dominantnim materijalom
danas u široj upotrebi?
Prije svega PVC stolarija pruža od-
ličnu toplinsku izolaciju, čime stvara
značajnu uštedu na grijanju. Proi-
zvođači kao drugo korisno svojstvo
navode njezinu funkcionalnost te
estetsku, oblikovnu fleksibilnost, što
znači da se lako može oblikovati
prema zahtjevima i potrebama kup-
ca. Tradicionalno, PVC stolarija ne
traži nikakva dodatna ulaganja u
održavanje, a nepropusna je za zrak
i vodu čak i u ekstremnim uvjetima.
Estetska dimenzija također govori u
prilog PVC stolariji - moguće je uklo-
piti u svaki okoliš, a pored toga PVC
je u potpunosti ekološki materijal,
osim što ne zagađuje okoliš u cijelo-
sti se reciklira. Bitno svojstvo PVC-a
je to da je riječ o ne-
zapaljivom materijalu
koji ima i sposobnost
samogašenja. Što
se održavanja tiče,
PVC stolariji dovoljno
je samo uobičajeno
čišćenje a vlaga, sla-
nost zraka ili sunčeve
zrake nemaju na nju
nikakav utjecaj. A
osim kemijskog, tvar-
nog zagađenja, PVC
stolarija nudi i druge
ekološke prednosti.
Budući da je izrađena
od profila s više ko-
mora kvalitetno ap-
sorbira zvučne valove te funkcionira
dc MATERIJALI
i na polju zaštite od zvučnog zaga-
đenja. U procesu proizvodnje PVC
stolarije ne eksploatiraju se šumska
bogatstva. Izolacijska svojstva ovog
umjetnog materijala posljedica su
njegova jednakomjernog rasteza-
nja u vremenu. PVC je otporan na
UV zračenje, ne stari, ne blijedi... Za-
ključimo, PVC materijal je vrlo dobar
izolator, zahtijeva minimalno održa-
vanje i neosjetljiv je na vremenske
utjecaje, a s jamstvima proizvođača
od cca 10 godina imaju i vrlo dug
životni vijek.
Uvid u povijest PVC-a kaže kako je
on jedan od najstarijih polimernih
materijala. Stalnim poboljšavanjem
svojstava do danas je postao jedan
od najznačajnih materijala u građe-
vinarstvu. U postupku proizvodnje
do izražaja dolaze njegova kemijska
svojstva: PVC spada u polimernu
grupu plastomera koji zagrijavanjem
mekšaju i zbog svoje strukture na
povišenim temperaturama prelaze
u tekuće stanje, te se u kalupima
daju odlično oblikovati. Gruba po-
djela PVC-a je ona na meki i tvrdi:
Najčešća uporaba tvrdog PVC-a je
u proizvodnji podnih obloga, obloga
kablova, cijevi, prozorskih profila i ro-
leta, cijevi za građevinarstvo (voda,
kanalizacija), obloge kablova, oblo-
ge podova, dječje igračke, dijelovi
automobila. To je kemijski i mehanič-
ki stabilan materijal kojem se ovisno
o postavljenim zahtjevima u različi-
tim omjerima dodaju stabilizatori,
omekšivači, pigmenti, antistatici, pu-
nila... Upravo zbog široke primjene u
kućanstvima tvrdi PVC okosnica je u
izradi PVC stolarije.
Mehanička tvrdoća i čvrstoća
Kao i svojstva samog materijala tako
i proizvode tvrdog PVC-a krase nje-
gove glavne karakteristike. PVC pro-
121
zorski profili sadrže visoku mehanič-
ku čvrstoću i tvrdoću, otporni su na
udarce, teško zapaljivi i samogasivi,
visoko otporni na različite kemikali-
je, starenje te su dobre zavarivosti.
Zbog svih ovih svojstava PVC se če-
sto naziva materijalom budućnosti.
Dva su osnovna tipa prozorskih
profila, onaj s vanjskom te sa sre-
dišnjom brtvom. Ovi prozorski okviri
najčešće svoju dodatnu stabilnost
duguju čeličnim ojačanjima. Već u
osnovnoj izvedbi proizvođači navo-
de još jednu bitnu kvalitetu, a to je
visoki stupanj protuprovalne sigurno-
sti. Svi elementi mogu se dodatno
opremiti posebnim okovom sa ili bez
alarmnog uređaja, teško lomljivim
staklima te dodatnim bravicama za
zaključavanje. Moguća je ugrad-
nja dojavnog sustava povezanog
s alarmnim uređajima, a prozorski
elementi mogu se i naknadno opre-
miti protuprovalnim sustavima svih
kategorija. Postoje i dodatni sigurno-
sni elementi poput “gljivastog” za-
bravljenja te ručice s bravom. Kod
osmišljavanja sustavnih sigurnosnih
rješenja kombiniraju se s teško lomlji-
vim staklima i drugim, posebnim na-
činima ugradnje.
Opremanje PVC stolarijom danas je
važan element u sanaciji starih kuća
i stanova, tj. zamjenu novima starih
neupotrebljivih drvenih prozora. Pla-
nirate li se, dakle, primiti ovakvog
posla vrijedno je napomenuti kako
je riječ o jednom od grubljih zahva-
ta koji stvara najviše prašine, te ga
je najbolje poduzeti prije svih ostalih
građevnih zahvata. U Roh (sirovoj)
– fazi građenja postavljaju se te-
melji kvalitetnog dovršenja objekta.
122
Prozorski elementi su svakodnevno
opterećeni vlastitom težinom, više-
kratnim otvaranjem i zatvaranjem
te temperaturnim oscilacijama na
vanjskim i unutarnjim stjenkama, izlo-
ženi su vlazi i ledu, jakom sunčevom
zračenju, a ponekad i olujnim naleti-

amp stains on the walls and behind the
furniture, as well as dewy glass surfaces
come from badly performed heat isola-
tion in the entire object, as well as from
incorrectly performed heating and the
interior air’s saturation with humidity. The
accumulation of humidity in an apartment can be the
result of cooking, washing, plant presence or the pre-
sence of more people in a small room. Stoves, fireplaces
and furnaces waste oxygen and create harmful fumes.

water. Regular and correct airing is important because
of the presence of fresh air, primarily in winter conditions.
Ecological and economical long-term judgment would
suggest using adequate, contemporary materials whi-
le closing the object and introducing communication
between indoor and outdoor premises.
Artificial materials of high resistance
For those of you who aren’t so well-informed, PVC stan-
ds for a chemical combination of polyvinyl-chloride. This
is a plastic and artificial material that is primarily gained
by processing natural materials like salt and oil. PVC is
one of the most adjustable and widespread artificial
materials of high resistance, and it is created with a long
string of manufacturing procedures, but we are primarily
interested in its utilization value. What makes PVC such a
dominant material for mass purposes?
PVC joinery primarily provides excellent heat isolation,
which leads to significant savings on the heat bill. Ma-
nufacturers point out its functionality and flexibility of
aesthetical shapes as other useful characteristics, whi-
ch means that can very simply be processed into many
different shapes according to the buyer’s wishes and
needs. Traditionally, PVC joinery doesn’t require any ad-
ditional investments in terms of maintenance, and it also
doesn’t release air or water even in extreme conditions.
The aesthetical dimension is also in favour of PVC – it is
easily adaptable to every environment and is comple-
tely ecological, which means that it is fully recyclable
and doesn’t pollute the environment. It is also important
to say that PVC is a non-flammable material that tends
to put out any signs of fire by itself. As far as maintenan-
ce, PVC joinery requires nothing more than simple clea-
ning, while humidity, salty air or sunshine have absolutely
no effect on it. In addition to avoiding chemical pollu-
tion, PVC joinery offers some other ecological benefits.
Due to the fact it is made of multi-chamber profiles, it
absorbs sound waves and functions as protection from
noise pollution very effectively. Forest capacities are
not exploited during the process of manufacturing PVC
joinery. This artificial material’s isolation characteristics
come as a consequence of its proportional stretching in
time. PVC is resilient of UV radiation, and it also doesn’t
lose its colour or show signs of age. In conclusion, PVC
dc MATERIALS
is an excellent isolator that demands minimum mainte-
nance and doesn’t get affected by weather conditions,
INTERIJERI
and 10-year guarantees from manufacturers vouch for
its long lifespan.
An insight into the history of PVC tells us that it is one of
the oldest polymeric materials. It has now become one
of the most significant construction materials thanks to
constant improvement of its characteristics. The manu-
facturing process points out its chemical attributes: PVC
is a polymeric plasticizer that is softened by the hea-
ting process and is forced by its structure to turn liquid
at high temperatures, which allows it to be excellently
shaped in moulds. PVC can be roughly divided in hard
and soft PVC: hard PVC is primarily used in production
of wall covers, cable covers, hoses, window profiles and
shutters, construction pipes (water, sewerage), children
toys and car parts. It is a chemically and mechanically
stable material that can receive additional stabilizators,
softeners, pigments, antistatic materials and fillers, de-
pending on the demands at hand. Precisely due to its
massive usage in households, hard PVC is essential to
the production of PVC joinery.
Mechanical firmness and hardness
Just like the material itself, products made by hard PVC
have the same characteristics. PVC window profiles po-
ssess a high level of mechanical firmness and hardness,
and they are also resilient to blows, non-flammable, hig-
hly resilient to different chemicals and signs of age, and
 are easily welded. All these characteristics
cause PVC to be called the material of the
future.
There are two basic types of window pro-
files: windows with outside and inside sea-
ling. These window frames often owe their
additional stability to steel support. Manu-
facturers also point out another quality in
the early performance stages, and that is
a high level of anti-burglary safety. These
elements can be additionally locked with
special collars with or without alarms, as
well as with non-breakable glass and ad-
ditional locks. It is also possible to install a
beeper system connected with the alarm,
while the window elements can be additi-
onally equipped with anti-burglary systems
of all categories. There are also additional
safety elements like “mushroom” sealing
and a locked handle. They are combined
with non-breakable glass and other speci-
al installing methods.
These days, using PVC joinery is an impor-
tant element in the process of renovating
old houses and apartments, especially
when replacing old wooden windows that
cannot be used anymore. If you’re pla-
nning on undertaking such a job, it must be
said that it is one of the harder procedures
that creates a lot of dust, and it is advisa-
ble to go through with it prior to any other
construction procedures. The Roh (raw)
phase of construction sets the foundation

PVC Sliding Door

Programme Tecnocor >2 by company Deceuninck offers multi-panel sliding doors
for an ambience with a high level of aesthetics. With their number ranging from 2 to
6, Tecnocor >2 provides twice as much harmony, comfort, colour and light for your
space. It is especially designed for those who prefer lots of space, plenty of light and
movement freedom, as well as comfort, elegance and peace. Representing a harmo-
nious compromise between modern and classical, designs by Tecnocor >2 are based
on a slight curve. The visible frame surface is significantly reduced in order to create
a larger surface of glass. Sophistication and elegance make it an ideal alternative to
aluminium sliding doors because of all PVC advantages, such as durability, simple
manner of maintenance and heat isolation. The handle profile embodies the entire
programme philosophy. It emphasizes the frame with its positioning all along the
doorway, but it also improves the inside of the door and enables performance with
three large glass surfaces for better resistance and rigidness of the entire sliding door.
Bolts and connections are not visible. Tecnocor >2 is designed to complement any
architectonic style of interior decoration. Different choices of window ends can prac-
tically change the appearance of the doorway. Choosing the colour is always difficult,
which caused the Deuctone programme of colour processing. All colours have been
tested and meet the necessary technical parameters, while special attention was paid
to high resistance to UV radiation. Tecnocor >2 sliding door have passed tests for up
to 10.000 openings, and are compatible to all types of anti-burglary collars. They are
opened and closed in accordance to the new European set of regulations, and their
frames are particularly strengthened in order to withstand possible tornados.

for a high-quality job on the object. Window elements
are constantly affected by their weight, multiple ope-
ning and closing activities, and temperature oscillations
on indoor and outdoor surfaces – they are submitted to
ice and humidity, strong sunlight, and sometimes flurries
of strong wind and rain. There are numerous practical
advices that should be taken into consideration while
installing PVC window elements, and some of the really
important ones include usage of steel support in the
centre. It is essential for the correct functioning of the
system, as users often complain about bad experiences
with older systems windows with several wings, which
often result in damaging bending or vibrations during
repeated usage or stronger winds with inadequately
supported larger window constructions. There were
also frequent problems with products made of profiles
with less than 3mm on the outside surface. Professionals
say that PVC is more likely to soften over time, which
may even result in cracking if the support isn’t adequ-
ate enough. It is also not recommended to use shutter
boxes without isolation, as that damages the potential
of a material that generally provides excellent heat and
sound isolation.
PVC elements provide manufacturers with opportuniti-
es to create different individual inventions. IKS windows,
by manufacturer IKS Pavić, go way beyond the call of
duty in an attempt to meet the basic demands. They
are made of profiles by renowned German manufac-
turers, and supported with a high-quality collar, low-e
glass, and outside and inside sealing systems, while still
being completely ecological and contributing to main-
tainable development. The invisible collar, besides ad-
ding to the window’s functionality, also creates a high
aesthetical impression that makes IKS windows more
appealing at first sight, which also goes with the trend
of minimalist construction elements (a trend particularly
visible in Western countries). Frontal usage secures a sim-
ple manner of handling, especially with high elements
that often require climbing. Some other characteristics
that add up to the product’s overall value include a sa-
fety system that allows the mechanism to be switched
open and secures proper handling, as well as intelligent
self-regulating winding system, electro-motors, sensors,
different colours and decorative elements.
Generally, there are numerous subtle mechanical solu-
tions that allow the mechanism to absorb the pressure
of heavy elements like excessive dimensions, and also
allow proper closing of overlapping surfaces and wings
to prevent the loss of heat energy and penetration of
sound waves – noise in both directions.
127
 recycled or regenerated beans of out-of-
date PVC generations. The fact remains
that Croatia doesn’t have even one seri-
ous construction firm or company that has
avoided the usage of PVC in constructi-
on sites. Technological development has
enabled a faster and more precise way of
manufacturing technically better products
with a smaller number of workers. However,
the advancement of technology brings
more pressure from the market and com-
petition in terms of lower prices, which of-
ten results in usage of less-quality materials
or a lower level of product quality. As far
as Croatia goes, PVC products like small-
dimension windows or PVC entrance doors
cost from 250 to 2500 KN with renowned
manufacturers. While furnishing your home
with PVC joinery, we advise you to talk to
manufacturers with many years of experi-
ence, who are preferably experts in the fiel-
ds of production, sale and installing. Some
Croatian companies like ABS, which have
succeeded to export their products on
the demanding European market, produ-
ce their joinery by using top-modern CNC
machinery, and they also make a good
choice because of numerous certificates
of quality and various testing in authorized
institutes.

Statistical information says that EU countries produce 5

million tonnes of PVC every year. As every story of exce-
llence has a darker side, we must mention stabilizators
that are used in the production of this fine material: cad-
mium and lead are elements that have harmful, even
dangerous characteristics. The EU Commission for Envi-
ronmental Issues made the decision to reduce the amo-
unt of lead in PVC materials for 33%. Local manufac-
turers, like Navigator for example, point out complete
absence of such materials in their production process,
as they replace it with the much more environment-and-
people-friendly calcium-zinc. Just like other polymeric
materials, PVC creates a certain amount of static elec-
tricity that is generally reduced with antistatic elements.
For a while now, the EU has attempted to increase inves-
tments in facilities for recycling old and demolished win-
dow elements. They are thrown into a mill that crushes
entire windows into tiny pieces, and it also automatically
separates PVC, steel, rubber and glass to reintroduce
them to the manufacturing process. In some countries
like Germany, old PVC-window elements from twenty or
thirty years ago are already taken out because of chan-
ges in technology standards, which have now become
much more rigorous, especially in terms of the object’s
heat isolation. That is why disassembling these elements
and installing new elements is even encouraged with
special fiscal measures. It must be said that at least half
of window elements in these countries feature PVC ma-
terial.
Another important warning by the profession relates to
excessive usage of sealing, chambers and deep materi-
als, which is pointless in a situation where manufacturers
compete against each other in the middle of crisis. The
young and small Croatian market is especially sensitive
to a flood of materials that have been processed with

dc QUESTIONS

I am planning on leasing out my apar-

tment for a year. This apartment was
purchased by me and my husband
during our marriage, but I am the
sole enlisted owner in the land-regi-
stry books. Is my husband’s signature
necessary for the legal validity of the
leasing contract?
According to the Law on Family (NN
1007/2007), you and your husband
are equal co-owners of all assets you
acquired during your marriage, whi-
ch includes the office space in que-
stion, regardless of the fact that your
husband isn’t enlisted as the owner
in the land-registry books. Due to the
fact that you’re planning to lease out
the apartment in question for a peri-
od of one year, that qualifies as a re-
gular administrative act that assumes
the consent of your marital spouse,
which means that your signature is all
that is required for the validity of the
contract.

I signed a leasing contract for an un-

determined period of time with the
leaseholder. He regularly paid the le-
ase in the early stages, but he hasn’t
paid for the last two months and I
gave him a verbal warning, which
hasn’t resulted in any success. Is it
possible for me to break off the lea-
sing contract?
The first thing you need to do is hand
out a written warning to the lea-
seholder regarding the neglected
payments. If the leaseholder fails to
pay the neglected payments in the
period of fifteen days from the act of

notification, you are entitled

to break off the leasing con-
tract on an undetermined
period of time, and you must
do it with a written note that
is delivered by registered mail
or with a note from the public-
notary office. The delivery of
the written notice effectively
terminates the leasing con-
tract. If the freeholder with the
contract-termination docu-
ment doesn’t pass the office
space along, and the leasing
contract features a legal-en-
forcement clause that relates
to the Law on Public Notary
(NN 78/93), the legal enfor-
cement takes place directly
based on the leasing con-
tract. In addition to that, you
are entitled to the neglected
payments, which you can
132
demand with a legal-enforcement
claim or a lawsuit, depending on the
type of the leasing contract.

I own a one-bedroom apartment that

is currently occupied by a leasehol-
der, and he informed me of certain
repair work he wanted to do, inclu-
ding the kitchen renovation, even
though he is familiar with the fact that
I’m constantly attempting to sell the
apartment. If I do manage to sell it,
he would have a one-month period
to move out. Can the leaseholder
cause any problems in the case he
made certain investments into the
apartment? Does he acquire any ri-
ghts with certain investments?
The leaseholder is not allowed to
perform any renovation in the apar-
tment without written consent of you
as the apartment owner, according
to Law on Apartment Leasing, para-
graph 14-item 2. If the leaseholder
goes ahead with the renovation work
in the apartment, joint rooms or buil-
ding premises without your previous
written consent, paragraph 20-item
1 of the Law on Leasing Apartments
states that you are entitled to break
off the leasing contract in written
form and with written explanation,
and the leaseholder must leave the
premises within the 15-day period, or
within the period that is stated in the
leasing contract between yourself
and the leaseholder. If you do sign
a written consent, the leaseholder
has the right to make investments
into your apartment. In that case,
the leaseholder does have the right
to demand the return of his invested
funds. The success of his demand will
mostly depend on his success in pro-

Promjena namjene poljoprivrednog
dc ZAKON
zemljišta u građevinsko
P
oljoprivredno zemljište je dobro
od interesa za Republiku Hrvat-
sku. Ono uživa njenu osobitu
zaštitu. Iz toga su razloga mogućno-
sti raspolaganja i načini korištenja
poljoprivrednog zemljišta ograniče-
ni. Ujedno, vlasnici poljoprivrednog
zemljišta imaju i posebne obveze u
pogledu održavanja i zaštite takvo-
ga zemljišta. Ograničene su i moguć-
nosti prenamjene poljoprivrednog
zemljišta u nepoljoprivredne svrhe.
Da bi se promijenila namjena poljo-
privrednom zemljištu moraju biti is-
punjene posebne pretpostavke pro-
pisane u Zakonu o poljoprivrednom
zemljištu (NN 152/08), koji je stupio na
snagu 1. siječnja 2009. godine. Ovaj
Zakon je stroži u pogledu mogućnosti
prenamjene, u odnosu prema ranijim
propisima. To se poglavito odnosi na
cijenu koja se plaća za prenamjenu
poljoprivrednog zemljišta koje se na
dan 1.siječnja 2009. godine nije na-
lazilo unutar granica građevinskog
područja te je nakon izmjene prostor-
nog plana njime obuhvaćeno.
Prostorno uređenje
Promjena namjene poljoprivrednog
zemljišta u nepoljoprivredne svrhe,
poglavito u svrhu izgradnje, provodi
se u skladu s dokumentima prostor-
nog uređenja i drugim propisima.
Među temeljne dokumente prostor-
nog uređenja pripadaju dokumenti
koji se donose na državnoj razini, a
to su Strategija prostornog uređenja
134
te provedbeni Program prostornog
uređenja Republike Hrvatske. Na te-
melju tamo utvrđenih ciljeva, mjera i
aktivnosti donose se prostorni plano-
vi za županije, Grad Zagreb, velike
gradove, gradove i općine. Prostorni
plan izrađuje se i za područja poseb-
nih obilježja. Stručne poslove u po-
stupcima izrade prostornih planova
obavljaju uredi državne uprave u žu-
paniji odnosno upravno tijelo Grada
Zagreba nadležno za poljoprivredu,
te Agencija za poljoprivredno zemlji-
šte. Agencija je osnovana u ožujku
2009. godine, na temelju Zakona o
poljoprivrednom zemljištu. U postup-
cima izrade prostornih planova sudje-
luje i Ministarstvo poljoprivrede. Ono
daje prethodno mišljenje na prostor-
ne planove županija i Grada Zagre-
ba, te suglasnost na nacrt konačnog
prijedloga prostornih planova velikog
grada, grada i općine.
Temeljni propis u području prostor-
nog uređenja je Zakon o prostornom
uređenju i gradnji (NN 76/07 i 38/09).
Njime je utvrđen i pojam prostora
unutar i izvan građevinskog područ-
ja. Tako se poljoprivredno zemljište
može nalaziti unutar prostora koje
se prema prostornom planu naziva
građevinsko područje, a može se
nalaziti i izvan njega. O tome gdje se
poljoprivredno zemljište nalazi, ovisit
će i iznos naknade te druge pretpo-
stavke za prenamjenu. Za prenamje-
nu poljoprivrednog zemljišta koje se
nalazi izvan građevinskog prostora
potrebno je u pravilu prvo izmijeniti
prostorni plan.
Prema Zakonu o prostornom uređe-
nju i gradnji svaki zahvat u prostoru
provodi se u skladu s dokumentima
prostornog uređenja, posebnim pro-
pisima i lokacijskom dozvolom. Mini-
starstvo poljoprivrede utvrđuje po-
sebne uvjete u postupku izdavanja
lokacijske dozvole i rješenja o uvje-
tima građenja za zahvate u prosto-
ru izvan građevinskog područja. Te
uvjete Ministarstvo utvrđuje sukladno
navedenom Zakonu o prostornom
uređenju i gradnji te ostalim propisi-
ma iz toga područja.
Prenamjena poljoprivrednog zemlji-
šta u građevinsko provodi se prema
navedenim propisima i dokumenti-
ma, na temelju konačnog akta kojim
se odobrava gradnja, te uz plaćanje
jednokratne naknade za prenamjenu
koje se utvrđuje posebnim rješenjem.
Promjenom namjene poljoprivred-
nog zemljišta u građevinsko smatra
se i izgradnja sportskih terena i obje-
kata u smislu posebnog zakona.
Za vrijedna poljoprivredna zemljišta
prenamjena je dopuštena samo u
iznimnim slučajevima
U Zakonu o poljoprivrednom zemlji-
štu propisano je da osobito vrijedno
obradivo poljoprivredno zemljište
(P1) i vrijedno obradivo poljoprivred-
no zemljište (P2) ne mogu biti korišteni
u nepoljoprivredne svrhe, osim u izni-
mnim slučajevima.
Osobito vrijedno obradivo poljopri-
vredno zemljište (P1) je najkvalitetnije
zemljište za poljoprivrednu proizvod-
nju jer svojim oblikom, položajem i ve-
ličinom omogućava najučinkovitiju
primjenu poljoprivredne tehnologije.
Vrijedno obradivo poljoprivredno ze-
mljište (P2) je zemljište primjereno za
poljoprivrednu proizvodnju, obzirom
na svoja prirodna svojstva, oblik, polo-
žaj i veličinu. Ministarstvo poljoprivre-
de utvrđuje koje se poljoprivredno ze-
mljište smatra osobito vrijednim (P1) i
vrijednim (P2), na temelju mjerila koje
propisuje ministar poljoprivrede. Do
danas takva mjerila još uvijek nisu do-
nesena pa se na pitanje naknade za
prenamjenu ovakvih zemljišta primje-
njuju ista pravila koja se primjenjuju i
na pitanje naknade za prenamjenu
svih ostalih niže vrijednih poljoprivred-
nih zemljišta.

Kao što je rečeno, osobito vrijedno
(P1) i vrijedno (P2) poljoprivredno
zemljište se ne mogu prenamijeniti
u građevinsko, osim u iznimnim slu-
čajevima. Takva će prenamjena biti
moguća kada nema niže vrijednoga
poljoprivrednog zemljišta, kada je
utvrđen interes za izgradnju objeka-
ta koji se prema posebnim propisima
grade izvan građevinskog područja,
kao i pri gradnji gospodarskih građe-
vina namijenjenih isključivo za poljo-
privrednu djelatnost i preradu poljo-
privrednih proizvoda.
Visina naknade za prenamjenu
Na temelju konačnog akta kojim se
odobrava gradnja na poljoprivred-
nom zemljištu u pravilu se plaća po-
sebna jednokratna naknada. Ta se
naknada plaća zbog umanjenja
vrijednosti i površine poljoprivrednog
zemljišta kao dobra za Republiku Hr-
vatsku.
Rješenje o naknadi donosi nadlež-
ni ured državne uprave u županiji ili
upravno tijelo Grada Zagreba nad-
ležno za poljoprivredu. Iznos naknade
za prenamjenu izračunava se prema
površini građevne čestice stambene
ili druge građevine te na temelju po-
dataka porezne uprave o prosječnoj
cijeni zemljišta u toj ili susjednoj kata-
starskoj općini u prethodnoj kalen-
darskoj godini.
Za poljoprivredno zemljište koje se
nalazi unutar granica građevinskog
područja visina naknade za prena-
mjenu iznosi 1% od prosječne cijene
zemljišta. Za osobito vrijedno (P1) i
vrijedno (P2) poljoprivredno zemljište
koje se nalazi unutar granica građe-
vinskog područja visina naknade za
prenamjenu iznosi 5% od prosječne
cijene zemljišta.
Za poljoprivredno zemljište koje se na
dan 1.siječnja 2009. godine nalazilo
izvan granica građevinskog područ-
ja, a nakon izmjene prostornog plana
ga se obuhvati unutar građevinskog
područja, visina naknade za prena-
mjenu iznosi 50% od prosječne cijene
zemljišta unutar granica građevin-
skog područja. Ako se u ovakvom
slučaju radi o osobito vrijednom (P1)
ili vrijednom (P2) poljoprivrednom ze-
mljištu, naknada za prenamjenu izno-
si 100% od prosječne cijene zemljišta
unutar građevinskog područja.
Naknada za prenamjenu prihod je
državnog proračuna u iznosu od 70%.
Smije se koristiti isključivo za finan-
ciranje troškova okrupnjavanja po-
ljoprivrednog zemljišta koje provodi
Agencija za poljoprivredno zemljište.
Preostalih 30% pripada proračunu je-
dinica lokalne samouprave odnosno
Grada Zagreba, na čijem se području
zemljište nalazi. Ta se sredstva koriste
za programe i mjere osposobljava-
nja neplodnog zemljišta i povećanja
proizvodne sposobnosti ostalog po-
ljoprivrednog zemljišta, sukladno po-
sebnom Pravilniku o uvjetima i načinu
korištenja sredstava naknade koja se
plaća zbog promjene namjene po-
ljoprivrednog zemljišta (NN 87/09).

Oslobađanje od plaćanja naknade
za prenamjenu
Zakonom o poljoprivrednom zemljištu
propisani su i posebni slučajevi u ko-
jima je investitor oslobođen plaćanja
naknade za prenamjenu poljopri-
vrednog zemljišta u građevinsko. Rje-
šenje o oslobađanju od plaćanja na-
knade donosi županijski ured državne
uprave nadležan za gospodarstvo
odnosno upravno tijelo Grada Zagre-
ba nadležno za poljoprivredu.
Neće biti dužan platiti naknadu za
prenamjenu poljoprivrednog ze-
mljišta onaj tko gradi građevine za
zaštitu od poplava kao i sustave za
navodnjavanje i odvodnju te slične
vodne građevine. Oslobođen plaća-
nja naknade će biti i onaj tko gradi
građevine za zaštitu i spašavanje, te
građevine koje služe za zaštitu tla.
Naknada se ne plaća ni kod izgrad-
nje objekata i uređaja komunalne
infrastrukture, objekata prometne
infrastrukture te građevina društvene
infrastrukture. Neće plaćati naknadu
ni onaj tko gradi gospodarske objek-
te namijenjene isključivo za poljopri-
vrednu djelatnost i preradu poljopri-
vrednih proizvoda.
Posebno je uređeno da hrvatski bra-
nitelji, kao ni članovi obitelji smrtno
stradalih, zatočenih ili nestalih hr-
vatskih branitelja također nisu dužni
platiti naknadu za prenamjenu poljo-
privrednog zemljišta u građevinsko,
ako nisu prema posebnim propisima
ostvarili pravo na stambeno zbrinja-
vanje. Nadalje, ako se radi o gradnji
građevina za javne namjene u mje-
stima u kojima su te građevine uni-
štene u oružanoj agresiji te stanova
i kuća za stradalnike Domovinskog
rata, također se ne plaća naknada
za prenamjenu.
Nisu dužni platiti naknadu za prena-
mjenu ni investitori građevina razvi-
jene bruto površine do 400 m2, ako
grade unutar građevinskog područ-
ja, kao ni investitori stambenih obje-
kata poticajne stanogradnje.
I naposljetku, naknada za prenamje-
nu poljoprivrednog zemljišta ne pla-
ća se ni pri gradnji igrališta za golf u
užem smislu.
 THE PROPERTY

Reapplying Agricultural Parcels

dc LAW ON

for Construction Purposes

A
gricultural parcels are units of
high interest for Republic of
Croatia, and they possess the
government’s special protection. For
that reason, ways of disposing and
using agricultural parcels are fairly
limited. At the same time, owners of
agricultural parcels have special obli-
gations in terms of maintaining and
protecting such a parcel. Ways of
reapplying agricultural parcels for ot-
her purposes are also limited. In order
to change the function of an agri-
cultural parcel, specific regulations
from the Law on Agricultural Parcels
(NN 152/08), which became valid on
January 1st 2009, must be honoured.
This law is much stricter in terms of re-
applying options than some earlier
regulations. That particularly relates
to the price of the reapplying proce-
ss of a parcel that wasn’t located wit-
hin the construction area on January
1st 2009, but has been included after
the changes in physical planning.
Physical Planning
The process of reapplying agricultural
parcels for other purposes, particu-
larly for construction purposes, takes
place in accordance with physical-
planning documents and other regu-
lations.
The primary physical-planning docu-
ments include several government-
level documents, such as the Strategy
of Physical Planning, and the Progra-
mme of Physical Planning in Republic
of Croatia. The goals, measures and
activities that are established in these
documents determine physical plans
for counties, the City of Zagreb, lar-
ge cities, towns and districts. Physical
planning is also produced for areas
with special statuses. During the pro-
cess of creating a physical plan, pro-
fessional affairs are conducted by
government departments in county
offices or the Zagreb Agriculture De-
partment, as well as the Agency of
Agricultural Parcels. This agency was
started in March 2009, based on the
Law on Agricultural Parcels. The pro-
cesses of constructing physical plans
also include the Ministry of Agricultu-
re. It provides its judgement on the
proposed physical plans by counties
and the City of Zagreb, as well as its
consent on the final version of the
proposal for physical plans of large
cities, towns and districts.
The primary regulation in the field of
physical planning is the Law on Physi-
cal Planning and Construction (NN
76/07, 38/09). It precisely determines
the term of a parcel within and out-
side of the construction area. That
means that a construction parcel
can be located within an area that
the physical plan defines as con-
struction area, or outside of it. The
fact of the agricultural parcel’s loca-
tion will determine the height of the
price and other circumstances of the
reapplying process. To go through
with the reapplying of an agricultural
parcel that is located outside of the
construction area, it is imperative to
make changes to the physical plan.
According to the Law on Physical Pla-
nning and Construction, every spati-
al procedure must be performed in
accordance with physical-planning
documents, special regulations and
the location license. The Ministry of
Agriculture determines special cir-
cumstances in the process of obta-
ining the location license and certi-
ficates for performing construction in
an area that isn’t deemed for con-
struction purposes. Those circumstan-
ces are established by the Ministry in
accordance to the Law on Physical
Planning and Construction, as well
as other regulations from that field of
work.
Reapplying agricultural parcels for
construction purposes is performed in
accordance with the previously sta-
ted regulations and documents and
based on the final ruling that appro-
ves the construction process, with the
condition of paying immediate com-
pensation for the reapplying proce-
ss, the height of which is separately
determined.
Constructing sporting arenas and
objects in accordance with specific
laws is also considered reapplying
agricultural parcels for construction
purposes.
Reapplying Valuable Agricultural
Parcels Is only Exceptionally Allowed
The Law on Agricultural Parcels sta-
tes that that the particularly valua-
ble arable agricultural parcels (P1)
and the valuable arable agricultu-
ral parcels (P2) cannot be used for
non-agricultural purposes, other than
some exceptional cases.
The particularly valuable arable agri-
cultural parcel (P1) is the parcel of
highest quality for agricultural culti-
vation because it allows the most ef-
ficient application of agricultural te-
chnology with its shape, position and
size. The valuable arable agricultural
parcel (P2) is a parcel suitable for
agricultural cultivation, considering its
natural characteristics, shape, positi-
on and size. The Ministry of Agriculture
establishes parcels that are deemed
particularly valuable (P1) or valuable

136

(P2) based on standards that are de-
termined by the agriculture minister.
These standards are actually yet to
be determined, so the issue of com-
pensation for these types of parcels is
resolved with the same set of rules as
for all other less valuable agricultural
parcels.
As was previously stated, particularly
valuable (P1) and valuable (P2) agri-
cultural parcels cannot be reappli-
ed for construction purposes, unless
in exceptional cases. Such reappli-
cation will be made possible in the
absence of an agricultural parcel
of lesser value, in situations of esta-
blished interest for the construction
of the object outside of the construc-
tion area, and in the situation of con-
structing economic buildings that are
exclusively designed for agricultural
purposes and the processing of agri-
cultural products.
The Height of Compensation for the
Reapplying Process
Based on the final ruling that allows
construction on an agricultural par-
cel, an immediate compensation is
generally paid. That compensation
is paid because of the deduction of
value and overall surface of agricul-
tural parcels as units of interest for the
Republic of Croatia.
The compensation ruling is delivered
by the authorized county depar-
tment or the agricultural department
of the City of Zagreb. The height of
compensation for the reapplying
process is determined according to
the surface of the residential or other
construction unit, as well as on the
information from the IRS regarding
the parcels’ average prices in that or
neighbouring cadastre districts in the
previous calendar year.
For all agricultural parcels that are
located within the construction area,
the height of compensation for the
reapplying process is equal to 1%
of the parcel’s average price. For a
particularly valuable (P1) or valuable
(P2) agricultural parcel that is loca-
ted within the construction area, the
compensation amounts to 5% of the
parcel’s average price.
For all agricultural parcels that were
located outside of the construction
area on January 1st 2009, but have
been included in the construction
area after the changes in the physi-
cal plan, the compensation for the
reapplying process amounts to 50%
from the parcel’s average price wi-
thin the construction area. If such a
case involves a particularly valuable
(P1) or valuable (P2) agricultural par-
cel, the compensation for the reappl-
ying process is equal to the parcel’s
average price within the constructi-
on area.
Seventy percent of this compensati-
on goes to the government budget,
and can be used exclusively for finan-
cing expenses of agricultural parcels’
concentration that is performed by
the Agency for Agricultural Parcels.
The remaining thirty percent goes to
the local budget of the county (or the
City of Zagreb) that includes the par-
cel in question. These funds are used
for programmes and measures that
attempt to work on infertile parcels
and increasing the cultivating capa-
cities of other agricultural parcels, in
accordance to a special statute that
prescribes conditions and methods
for using compensation funds from
the processes of reapplying agricul-
tural parcels.

Exceptions from the Obligation of
Paying the Compensation for the Re-
applying Process
The Law on Agricultural Parcels de-
termines special exceptions where
the investor is not obligated to pay
the compensation for the process of
reapplying an agricultural parcel for
construction purposes. The ruling on
the exception from paying this com-
pensation is delivered by the county
economy department, or the agri-
cultural department of the City of
Zagreb.
The obligation of paying the com-
pensation for the reapplying pro-
cess will not be enforced on entities
that construct buildings for flooding
protection, as well as watering or
draining systems and other water
buildings. This obligation will also not
be enforced on entities constructing
buildings for protection and rescuing,
as well as for buildings that serve for
ground preservation.
This compensation will also not be
paid in cases of building objects and
elements of municipal infrastructu-
re, objects of traffic infrastructure, or
buildings of public infrastructure. En-
tities that build economic objects for
exclusive agricultural purposes and
for processing agricultural products
will also not be obligated to pay this
compensation.
A special regulation also states that
Croatian war soldiers, as well as fami-
lies of killed, imprisoned or disappea-
red Croatian war soldiers are not obli-
gated to pay the compensation for
reapplying an agricultural parcel for
construction purposes, unless special
regulations implemented their right
to residential housing. Furthermore,
the compensation isn’t paid in cases
of constructing public buildings on lo-
cations that were demolished during
the war, as well as in cases of apar-
tments and houses for the casualties
of the War of Independence.
Investors in buildings of up to 400 m2
of gross surface are also not obli-
gated to pay this compensation if
they’re building within the construc-
tion area, as well as investors in resi-
dential objects of government hou-
sing programmes.
And finally, the compensation for the
process of reapplying agricultural
parcels will not be paid in cases of
the construction of golf courses that
serve no other function.
