Urbano Editiranje - Arhitektura Događaja

The inspiring and rich stratification of a city, formed by deposition and growth over time, is an important element in understanding and interpreting the moment in which the contemporary city and urban territory exist. Spatiotemporal sediments of a city and its architecture and rapid urban development in recent decades, firmly define the context of architects’ work. In addition to the original image of a city or a building that is designed and conceived through urban plans and projects, there is a current, realistic and stimulating image of the moment, which shapes the space for the different possibilities of operation and interpretation.

Organising the Hartera festival in 2009 included the implementation of accommodation capacities for the guests within the space of the old paper factory. The original intention of the organizers was to find the space for a camp with 100 tents for the increasing number of visitors coming from outside the city of Rijeka. The suitable area was found, not on a meadow or in the woods, but in the beautiful factory hall where, after hundreds of hours of work, Hartera Hotel was created out of various recycled materials found at the site, bulky waste and deluge driftwood.

Hence, the project aimed at maximum preservation of the existing pine woods as a setting into which small hills, school facilities, elements of squares, sports fields and gathering places get carved in.
