ARCHITECTURAL RENEWAL: RESIDENTIAL-COMMERCIAL BUILDING ALONG ULICA HEROJA BRAČIČA AND ULICA HEROJA ŠLANDRA

Magistrsko delo se ukvarja s problematiko degradiranih površin v mestnih središčih. V vsakem mestu najdemo površine, ki so s časom izgubile svojo identiteto. Do tega je lahko prišlo zaradi propada ali selitve velikih industrijskih obratov, neprimerne umestitve novih industrijskih, komunalnih in drugih negativno zaznamovanih objektov ter zastarelih stanovanj, ki niso prilagojena današnjemu načinu življenja. Takšne urbane površine postanejo manj privlačne, prebivalci pa se začnejo izseljevati. Posledica tega so izpraznjena območja v središču mesta. Preurejanje zapuščenih površin je prikazano na primeru kareja v središču Maribora. Potrebno je bilo poskrbeti za boljšo kvaliteto življenja in nove programske vsebine. Z analizo širšega in ožjega območja smo poiskali kvalitete obravnavanega območja, pomanjkljivosti pa smo zapolnili s prenovo in stanovanjsko-poslovno dozidavo. Nadzidava na obstoječih stanovanjskih stavbah ob Ulici heroja Bračiča in Ulici heroja Šlandra oblikovno izhaja iz obstoječih lomljenih streh in zapostavljenemu mestnemu predelu vrača identiteto. V obliki črte L povezuje obstoječe stavbne mase, ki ponovno formirajo južni rob kareja, delno porušenega med II. svetovno vojno. V nadzidavi so predvidena dvoetažna stanovanja z velikimi terasami in čudovitim razgledom na Maribor in Pohorje.My master\u27s thesis addresses issues around urban area degradation. Each city exhibits areas that have over the course of time lost their identity. The latter may have been due to deteriorated large industrial sites or their inadequate relocation, unsuitable installation of new industrial, municipal and other structures with negative reputation, and outdated apartment buildings\u27 being ill-suited to the contemporary lifestyle. Thus said urban areas start gradually loosing their appeal, which subsequently results in population flights and eventually leads to desolate city centres. A good example of an abandoned area transformation is a city block in the centre of Maribor, characterised by a clear need for a better quality of life and repurposing of the site. The area\u27s strenghts were determined through analysis of its proximal and distal surroundings whereafter its deficiencies were overcome through renovation and residential-commercial extension. The addition to the residential blocks in Ulica heroja Bračiča and Ulica heroja Šlandra streets is based on the design of the already existing roofs and helps this deprived urban piece of land regain its identity. It connects the existing structures in an L-shape so that they, once again, form the southern edge of the city block that was partially demolished during the WWII. The building plans for the addition include duplex apartments with large terraces and breath-taking views of Maribor and Pohorje
