Sažetak
The aim of this article is to define the layout-space organisation typology of residential corner houses built in Zagreb’s Gradec (today Upper Town) in the 18th century. Ten corner houses built in today’s Gradec central plateau are considered, because due to a different building context, terrain configuration and foundations, the corner houses built on the city walls show some attributes proper of non-corner residential buildings also built on the city walls.
In the introduction, the obstacles faced by researchers of residential architecture were described in detail, after which basic guidelines for conducting such research were offered. This was followed by an outline of previously conducted studies and a critical overview of bibliography aimed at a (re)valorisation of earlier theses relative to the typology of Upper Town baroque residential buildings. The studies in question were carried out by Nada Premerl, Lelja Dobronić and Sandra Križić Roban.
Based on an elaborate architectonic description of the ten houses taken into consideration, three typological groups of buildings were identified. First and foremost, the analysis took into account the number of wings and the level of buildings’ integration into a certain city block. Therefore, Zagreb upper town 18th century residential corner houses can be divided into single-wing, two-wing and three-wing buildings, whereas single-wing houses can be further classified into those whose rooms are organised in a row and those with a more complex grouping of rooms spaced according to function. All of the analysed two-wing corner houses are semi-detached and have an L line, while the three-wing houses have a U line. What distinguishes the three-wing terraced houses from the three-wing detached houses is the treatment of the surroundings. The most basic formal construction elements – the number of wings and the level of integration into the city block – resulted to be a valid departure point when considering house typology, while all the examples within the (sub)groups indicate to many plan disposal, grid plan and interior design analogies.
