Atelier Minerva on the Poljana square in Šibenik

The new Šibenik main square with archaeological park and a garage/logistics center underneath is designed as an integrated urban, social and infrastructural field setting an open dialogue between the medieval, modern and contemporary city.

The Poljana square is designed as a continuous three-dimensional urban platform (field) without any obtrusive solid volumes, which accommodates various social events and mediates between historical and modern urban artefacts. The site programme integrates archaeological park with the social zone and infrastructural logistic center underneath. Spatial folds form places of social gathering: open tribunes and stages, bridge, canopy and fountain. Urban lines create tensions and dynamics in the platform while stone networks with infrastructural boxes enable flexible organization of the field.

The underground structure has facility designation, garage and logistics center with reinforced concrete construction and industrial floors.  The underground logistics center includes a mobility management center, charging stations for electric vehicles and revitalizing old town and island supply area. The space is an integral part of the overall EU project Integrated Mobility in the City of Šibenik.
