All reworded projects look absolutely amateur. No strong and original concepts, no sense for the context neither for the actual needs of the city!

i must say that Split misses the spirit of the age we live in. the new arena designed by 3LHD and opened recently has been yet another disappointment. probably one of the less successful projects they’ve ever presented. i hear their project for riva in split is still criticized by the locals and the architects. so, i must say, after seeing this project, that split probably just isn’t their town…. skyscrapers on the waterfront… wouldn’t do that. also no concept of the public areas?!
the project of porticus on the other side respects the landscape, is well incorporated, has no high structures, very green, ecological, so i must say- good work. and love the idea of transforming the building structures into the spaces of public interest (roof structures as walking public pathways).
production 004- i wouldn’t rather comment on that one. perhaps few good ideas, but too little work.

I just do not understand the need to bring in this much of program on to the Split. This amount of service program demands outskirts that are miserable unless being given huge attentions.

I traveled through Croatia for a month this past summer. I arrived in Split via a ferry from Korchula. I cannot imagine anything worse being done to the city’s waterfront. these proposals are pure graphic exercises….These are not proposals for the actual site but rather the ‘paper’ as a site. no thought beyond that papers edge of which they reside upon. No doubt, the city needs to do something with the current waterfront configuration, but these are a joke….a travesty.

If you look on 3rd prize(except 3LHD) and it’s design you will figure out how competitions are arranged in this part of Europe:)))))))))))
