Croatian coast – return to the future
With the fact that we exist we have found ourselves on the way of the time direction, made up of an endless line of points – units of time. We are living a point of a time direction and we have great responsibility to follow it (follow the order), otherwise the past and future eyes will spot, that in this time of ours a disorder happened and that we were not able to transmit the inherited order.
Space is a category that requires a very careful, gentleman-like relation towards itself. In Australian museums beside specially valuable exposits it is written: „Touch with Your eyes only, which should be applied to the space too. It needs cautious conquering, according to an old saying “measure three times, cut out once”. First we have to ensure the ways to be able to “flow” through the space, and after that, micro-spaces for different types of human activities, from living, working to leisure. Ways should be wide to satisfy both vehicular and pedestrian traffic and plots so big, that people staying on them still feel that they are in space, and not tied up. And these are some bases of urbanism, which seem so logical and easy to follow. Since the Second World War great non-understanding of that basic logic has happened on the Croatian coast and we are facing its consequences today.
