The Master’s thesis proposes the redevelopment of the
degraded area next to the Nova Gorica railway station
into an organized public urban area. In terms of design,
it involves the rehabilitation and transformation of the
existing meadow into park and garden areas with the
addition of new volumes in the form of modular pavilions.
With the proposal for the revitalization of the border
area and content enrichment by adding program-rich
modular pavilions, I want to give an example of good
practice of how border cities can plan, coordinate and
implement cultural strategies together for the benefit
of the entire society. This would return the border area
to the people for the purpose of connecting different
cultures and generations.
By rearranging and renovating the content of the border
strip, I want to show that it is a place with high
development potential that can connect two cities, two
regions and two countries. We also took into accunt the
programatic needs of the upcoming European Capital
of Culture project, which will mostly be situated in this
area. The management of ECC expressed their desire
for the following programs: exhibition spaces, shops,
multimedia space, daily local gastronomic offer, market,
sport fields and a museum. We have included all
this in our program design. The master’s thesis nicely
demonstrates that by redeveloping the degraded area
next to the railway station into a well-organized public
urban area, we can revive a once lively area, where the
culture, history and beauty of two neighboring countries,
which, despite their differences, coexist in this
area, would be presented.
