poprečni presjek ¶ Čitanjem i slušanjem komentara o novootvorenim obrazov-
nim ustanovama, dolazimo do zaključka da je najbitnija stavka
cross section
oko koje javnost lomi koplja – izgled pročelja. Čim se pojavi
prva vizualizacija, kreće rat između pobornika monokromat-
skih tonova i veselih boja. Sve ostalo na stranu – izrazit će
se zabrinutost ako su najnoviji škola ili vrtić previše hladni,
ili previše infantilni. Dugo iščekivane škole bit će dočekane
mješavinom rezigniranosti i olakšanja – napokon je tu, ali
mogla je biti i ljepša. Zadatak ovih građevina da afirmiraju
svoju vrijednost poprilično je nesretan. Moraju besprijekorno
funkcionirati, ali i imati ono nešto. Moraju zadovoljiti sasvim
mlade i odrasle korisnike te prosječne promatrače čije je doba
boravljenja u takvim prostorima već prošlo. Kada na popis

¶ When we read and listen to the comments about a newly-
opened educational institution, we reach the conclusion that
battles are fought over the look of the façade. As soon as the
first visualisation appears, a debate between the supporters
of monochromatic tones and those of rich colours begins. All
things aside, concerns will be expressed if the new school or
kindergarten is too cold or too infantile. Long-awaited schools
will be welcomed by the mixture of resignation and relief – we
finally have it, but it could have been better. This task of the
buildings, to affirm their value, is rather unfortunate. They have
to function perfectly, but also have a certain something; they
have to please very young as well as adult observers, along with
common bystanders who no longer spend time in the facilities.

nešto je što se s nestrpljenjem iščekuje. ¶ Naselje Kajzerica,
uglavljeno na južnoj obali rijeke Save, dugo je vremena bilo
područje uljuljano u urbanistički status quo. Eklektičnom
spoju čvrstog kompleksa Zagrebačkog velesajma, rekreacij-
skih prostora hipodroma i sportskih terena, jednolično posla-
ganih obiteljskih kuća i neuređenih gradskih terena, posljed-
njih nekoliko godina ipak se spremaju promjene. Natječaji za
izgradnju vrtića, škola, obrtničkog centra, rehabilitacijskog
centra uriho i regionalnog centra seecel, obećavaju promi-
jeniti lice neurednog naselja. Stanovnicima Kajzerice osobito
su bili važni vrtić i škola, najavljivani još krajem devedesetih;
pokrenuta je i građanska inicijativa koja se dugo borila za
izgradnju tih objekata u ovom naselju. ¶ Odgojno-obrazov-
nom kompleksu namijenjen je široki potez prostora južno od
glavne ulične transverzale Kajzerice – područje guste vegeta-
cije nastale na riječnom tlu. Na natječaju provedenom 2008.
godine pobijedio je projekt arhitektonskog studija Sangrad.
Kompleks se trebao sastojati od dvije vrtićke (hrvatska i fran-
cusko-njemačka) te tri obrazovne jedinice (razredna i pred-
metna nastava hrvatske osnovne škole, francusko-njemačka
osnovna škola i francusko-njemački koledž). Ipak, od toga se
početkom gradnje odustalo, tako da građevine na Kajzerici

If you add to the list the need to generate activities in an, until-
now, passive neighbourhood, it is clear why the result of the
programme is eagerly anticipated. ¶ Kajzerica neighbourhood,
fixed on the south bank of the Sava River, has been in an urban
status quo situation for a long time. However, this neighbour-
hood, with the eclectic combination of the firm complex of the
Zagreb Fair, recreational area of the hippodrome and the sports
facilities, uniform family houses and neglected city terrains, has
been undergoing changes during the last couple of years. The
competitions for the construction of kindergartens, schools,
craft centre, rehabilitation institution uriho, and the seecel
regional centre, indicate that the look of this chaotic neighbour-
hood will be changed. The kindergarten and the school are par-
ticularly important to the residents of Kajzerica; their construc-
tion was planned as early as in the 1990s, and the civic initiative
was launched which has long fought for the construction of the
buildings. ¶ The educational complex has been designed for a
wide area south from the main intersecting road of the Kajzerica
neighbourhood, the area of dense vegetation growing by the
river. The project designed by the architectural studio Sangrad
won the competition in 2008. The complex was supposed to
include two kindergarten units (Croatian and French-German), uzdužni presjek
and three educational units (general class teaching, specialised
class teaching of a Croatian primary school, French-German longitudinal section

was abandoned during the construction, so the buildings at
Kajzerica today house a Croatian primary school, high school
and the kindergarten. All stages of the social development of a
child thus meet in a common area, the programmes function-
ally different, as much as they are similar. ¶ Due to differences
in their use, the volumes of the kindergarten and the school
are separated, but there is a loose connection by the common
access square. Lower, simpler and gentler volume houses the
kindergarten, while the schools are located in the higher volume
which has a more complex network and an underground con-
nection to a three-part sports hall. The elevation of classroom
tracts on columns created a square which is spread between
and under, and which does not only aim to unite this complex
for children, but to become the meeting place of the whole
neighbourhood. Spatial memory is used to achieve that goal;
the seemingly freely placed columns of the structure of dif-
ferent cross sections are trying to evoke the dense vegetation

Odnos među volumenima te izmjena punog i praznog – nat-
krivenih i slobodnih vanjskih prostora, popločenja i zelenila –
osim specifičnih prostornih doživljaja, nudi i različite moguć-
nosti korištenja povećavajući izglede da će ovo mjesto doista
zaživjeti među stanovnicima naselja. Šetnja ovakvim školskim
trgom proizvodi naročit osjećaj uključenosti, ali i izdvojeno-
sti. Prostorom kojim se krećete kreću se i učenici za vrijeme
odmora. Nema prijelaznih zona prema privatnijim vanjskim
prostorima – sve vam je dostupno, dio ste života koji se tu
svakodnevno odvija. No ipak, ulazno pročelje škole i ograda
vrtića predstavljaju jasnu društvenu i fizičku granicu koja vam
omogućuje da sudjelujete, ali na primjeren način. ¶ Jednom
kada napustimo prostor eksterijera, ulazimo u područje stro-
gog reda. Tlocrti su besprijekorno funkcionalni, bez vrludanja
i egzibicija; drže se ideje da je najjednostavnije rješenje ujedno
i najbolje. Strogo odvojeni ulazi posljedica su multinacional-
nog sustava koji je trebao nastaniti zgradu. Jasličke jedinice
u prizemlju i vrtićke na katu pravilno su poslagane s pvn-om
na kraju. Školske učionice i kabineti nižu se u tri usporedne
lamele, dok su zajednički prostori pvn-a, knjižnice i admini-
stracije smješteni prizemno u poprečnoj lameli koja cijeli taj
sustav logično povezuje. Iako je jasno da su projektantske
odluke posljedica prvotno zadanoga programa, ipak ostaje

life which is being enjoyed there every day. The front façade of
the school and the fence around the kindergarten draw a clear
social and physical border, which allows you to participate, but
to an appropriate extent. ¶ Once we leave the exterior area, we
enter the area of strict order; the plans are perfectly functional,
with no incoherencies or experiments; they stick to the idea of
the simplest solution being the best. The entrances are strictly
separated, there as the consequence of a multinational pro-
gramme which was supposed to be included in the building.
Nursery on the ground floor and the kindergarten on the first
floor are in a regular line with the multi-purpose space at the
end of the building. Classrooms and school cabinets are situated
in three parallel tracts, as opposed to the common area of the
multi-purpose area, library and administration units which are
located on the ground floor, in a transverse volume which logi-
cally connects the whole system. Although it is clear that the
decisions of the designers are the result of the originally estab-
lished programme, some things may have been done differently
than by the book; the exciting idea of the exterior should have
been transferred into the interior where it would surely be more
successful. Narrow corridors need a spatial break and social
areas might have become more than just a room at the end of
the corridor. ¶ The synergy of the technical solutions and the

želja da su neke stvari ujednačenije i riješene manje školski te
da se uzbudljiva ideja vanjskog prostora probila u interijer, gdje
bi zasigurno prije zaživjela. Uski hodnici traže cezuru, a druš-
tveni prostori mogli su postati nešto više od prostorije na kraju
hodnika. ¶ No, ono što se nikako ne može osporiti jest sinergija
projektantskih i tehničkih rješenja i pažnja posvećena deta-
ljima. Radi se o niskoenergetskoj kući koja koristi resurse pod-
zemnih voda Kajzerice, što svakako treba pozdraviti, osobito
kod kompleksa ovakve veličine. Kod odabira boja, materijala i
namještaja ništa nije prepušteno slučaju. Akustične ploče imaju
funkcionalnu, ali i estetsku vrijednost, oglasni panoi pojavljuju
se tamo gdje ih trebate, a kolorit nije ni preagresivan ni neu-
godno hladan, zahvaljujući obilnom korištenju drva. Mnoge
stvari još se rješavaju – škola je otvorena prije par mjeseci – ali
nema sumnje da će biti dovršene s istom pažnjom s kojom su
započete. Detalji poput učionica koje su kodirane, ne bojom
vrata ili zidova, već podova koji reflektirajući tonove prosto-
rima daju vlastitu auru ili ozbiljne tamnosive fasade koja je
oživljena drvenim okvirima odabranima kako bi označili plohe
koje se otvaraju, pokazuju da se o svakom aspektu projekta
razmišljalo. Sportska dvorana osobito je ugodna, s bazilikalnim
osvjetljenjem koje stvara podgled drugačiji od onog na koji
smo navikli. Ovakve mikrointervencije, koje se često previde

design, as well as the attention given to detail, however, cannot
be denied. It is a low-energy building which uses the resources
of the underground waters of the neighbourhood, which should
definitely be complimented, especially considering the size of
the complex. The selection of colours, materials and the fur-
niture was carefully made. Acoustic boards are functional and
have aesthetic value, announcement boards are situated just
where they should be, and the colours are neither too aggressive
nor unpleasantly cold, due to the extensive use of wood. Many
issues are yet to be handled – the school was opened just a cou-
ple of months ago – but there is no doubt that everything will
be completed with the same precision as at the beginning. The
details show that every aspect of the project has been carefully
examined, such as the classrooms which are coded, not by the
colour of the door or the walls, but by the floors which reflect
the tones and thus give a specific aura to the area; or the serious
dark grey façade which is invigorated by wooden frames used to
indicate surface openings. The sports hall is particularly pleas-
ant; its clerestory lighting gives a different view than the one
we are used to. Such micro inventions, often overlooked in the
first stages of the project, again prove that it takes more than
a nice plan to build a house, and draw an important distinction
between merely done and carefully planned. ¶ The concept of
this demanding system emerged on the basis of natural char-
acteristics, a strong need to have something really functional,
and the irrefutable fact that Kajzerica neighbourhood needs
a social centre. The building which was created here brought
order into the community and stabilized the area of chaos. On
one hand, it does what every building would do – it houses
a specific programme. On the other hand, it has gone a step
further and has become the anchor of the area, offering more
than just a regular school. This town in small scale has decided
to generate a big city, the real city. At this moment, it is hard
to say whether this idea will blossom, but we can hope that
the Kajzerica population will recognize the idea, and develop a
relationship with this complex which will offer more than just
an opinion on the colour of its façades.

u prvim fazama projekta, još jednom dokazuju da kuću gradi

puno više od simpatičnog tlocrta te čine bitnu razliku između
odrađenog i promišljenog. ¶ Koncept ovog zahtjevnog sustava
nastao je na temelju prirodnih datosti, naglašene potrebe da
stvari uistinu funkcioniraju i jedne neoborive činjenice – Kaj-
zerici treba društveni centar. Kuća koja je ovdje izrasla unijela
je red u zajednicu i stabilizirala područje kaosa. S jedne strane,
napravila je ono što i svaka takva građevina – udomila je spe-
cifičan program. S druge strane, otišla je korak dalje i usidrila
cijeli prostor, nudeći ipak nešto više od obične škole. Grad u
malom odlučio je izgraditi prostor velikog grada, pravog grada.
U ovom trenutku teško je reći hoće li ta misao zaživjeti, ali
ostaje nada da će stanovništvo Kajzerice prepoznati ovu ideju
i produbiti odnos s ovim kompleksom na nešto više od stava
prema boji njegovih fasada.
