18/ GTC Slavonska, Radman Vrbanek © MMVIII Competition Honourable Mention



GTC Tower, Zagreb

The building codes for the site restricted the height to such an extent that we thought the outcome was condemned to become an oxymoron of a short tower. The location is cut off from the pedestrian network, accessible by car. The building is to sit next to a major road in the company of mostly stereometric late postmodern corporate towers.

In a way we opted for a diametrically opposite approach. We proposed a non-form, medium height, multiple-contour building, with a free plan appropriate for rent. Its expression seems more geological or biological that archi-tectonic. The flexibility is enhanced by the suspended Y-shaped bridge.
