Do we maintain the heritage …
Train ride, towards Zagreb …
I was very small … I traveled with my parents in Lika … At my uncle’s … Passing through Zagreb, through the window of the train compartment, I noticed the grayness of the buildings …
Yes, the buildings were gloomy, neglected, and gray … I remember that picture all my life … I don’t know why … Maybe it also influenced my choice to study architecture …
Maybe…
I remember exactly what I saw … Old buildings with old and unfinished facades … And neon lights in one business space… I guess it was the Project Bureau …
Hm … Project office …
Mother of God …
Today in my hometown Slavonski Brod … Not that it’s the same, not worse … Along with the city center and the promenade, there are a couple of streets that are located in a protected urban zone …
In those streets, there are old buildings, with beautiful architectural compositions… But with rotten and untidy facades … The plaster has fallen off … Well, some bricks …
The windows and doors are rotten and dilapidated … Nobody lives in most of them … They all moved somewhere a long time ago … And the houses remained, and they just fell into disrepair …
Owners who have an interest in landscaping, have no money … Those who have money, have no interest in landscaping …
The city administration is not really trying to help financially, those who have the will and have no money … Everything is the cry of the Mother of God …
How and what next …
It’s hard to be smart … Owners who live there and who care about their buildings, and have the money, arrange them … Others leave their buildings, so that time does its thing …
Or for a customer to show up …
Then this mutual deviation happens to us in the arrangement of the facades of the neighboring buildings … Like “Jing-Yang” …
The City Administration should financially help the owners of old buildings … Especially if the buildings are untidy in some important and important city locations …
To avoid “Zigzag” decorated facades … But I’m afraid they have no ear for it … and, they have money …
Strange … and maybe not …
And what does the City Administration do …
Why does the City Administration not regularly maintain/control it?
