King Petar Krešimir IV Square in Zagreb Origin of Layout, Architecture and Landscaping
Zrinka Barišić
Sažetak
In this article the author presents the results of research into the urban and historical circumstances that led to the development and growth of today´s King Petar Krešimir IV Square in Zagreb. She shows the importance of this square in the context of the spread of the new eastern part of the city in the first half of the twentieth century, and the further urban expansion of Zagreb. This largest heterogeneous town square, a singularity in the urban tissue, grew through a sequence of spontaneous and planned interventions and during the twentieth century the area was gradually transformed from a suburban fairground to a representative city square and garden, an important traffic thoroughfare and a recognisable landmark in the broader city centre. It was given identity by characteristics of "modernity": both in layout and architecture, and also in the innovative garden design, and despite later transformations it has remained a rounded entity and has become a recognisable feature in the image of the city.
