The master’s thesis presents a comprehensive renovation proposal for the Dravlje Community Center, a primary meeting place for the Dravlje local community. Originally constructed 65 years ago as part of an unified project to build cooperative centers across the former Yugoslavia, the building’s renovation plan is based on spatial analysis, an assessment of its current condition, and an understanding of the needs of modern community spaces. The original architectural layout of the building, featuring technical spaces in the basement, a two¬-story large hall, a communication core, a small hall on the ground floor, and offices along with spaces for associations on the upper floor, is primarily retained. Modifications that have been implemented over time in a gradual manner are removed. The previously adapted areas in the basement, which were deemed unsuitable for associations, are restored for technical and service functions. The proposal also includes a new rooftop level with a pavilion and terrace, offering community groups and other users appealing areas for socializing and activities. The architectural design of this new level is modular, allowing for adaptable, multipurpose use.
