Magistrsko delo obravnava tematiko vpliva prekomernega turizma na zamiranje starih mestnih jeder v Istri. Na primeru Pule, največjega istrskega mesta, bom prikazal, da lahko s premišljeno izbiro hibridnih programov in fleksibilno zasnovo prostorov, stari center služi tako domačinu kot turistu. Izbrani program je srednja Umetniška šola v Puli, ki danes stoji na neustrezni lokaciji na obrobju mesta. Šolo v stari avstro-ogrski vili, je zasnoval puljski umetnik Ivan Obrovac, v devetdesetih. Za raznolik program, ki obsega: kiparstvo, slikarstvo, grafični in tekstilni dizajn, je obstoječih prostorskih kapacitet premalo in so neustrezne. Posledično je onemogočeno odpiranje novih oddelkov kot so oddelek za keramiko, steklo, metal, fotografijo in scenografijo. Cilj je pokazati, da izbrani program sodi v center mesta, saj ima potencial, da postane veliko več kot samo šola. V Puli kronično primanjkuje ustreznih razstavnih prostorov, umetniške razstave se večinoma izvajajo v improviziranih galerijah. S podobnim problemom se soočajo različne oblikovalske delavnice, ki zelo težko pridejo do finančno dostopnega ateljeja ali studia. Nov kompleks umetniške šole bo zasnovan tako, da bo v uporabi celo leto in čez celoten dan, ne le v času pouka. Območje Stare tržnice v Puli je degradirano, svojo identiteto je izgubilo po bombardiranju v 2 sv. vojni, danes služi le kot parkirišče. Rušitev celotnega mestnega kareja, ki je nekoč stal na tej lokaciji, je uničila antični ustroj mesta, ter odvzela pomen rastru ulic cardo-decumanus, ki so v primeru Pule zelo jasno zasnovane. Namen idejne zasnove je, da ponovno poudari izbrisano ulico in tako zaceli rano v mestnem tkivu. V magistrski nalogi si postavljam tudi vprašanje kako graditi v mediteranski klimi? Projekt se naslanja na znanja ljudske arhitekture, poskuša oblikovati hišo kot klimatski stroj, ki lahko živi z vročo mediteransko klimo in izzivi ki nam jih prinašajo podnebne spremembe.

Abstract

The master's thesis addresses the impact of overtourism on the decline of historic city centers in Istria. Using the example of Pula, the largest Istrian city, I will demonstrate that with thoughtful selection of hybrid programs and flexible spatial design, the old town center can serve both locals and tourists. The chosen program is the Pula School of Arts, which is currently located in an unsuitable location on the outskirts of the city. The school, located in an old Austro-Hungarian villa, was founded by the Pula-based artist Ivan Obrovac in the 1990s. For a diverse curriculum, which includes sculpture, painting, graphic, and textile design, the existing spatial capacities are inadequate and insufficient. Consequently, the opening of new departments, such as ceramics, glass, metalwork, photography, and scenography, is hindered. The aim is to show that this program belongs in the city center, as it has the potential to become much more than just a school. Pula suffers from a chronic lack of suitable exhibition spaces, with most art exhibitions being held in improvised galleries. A similar problem is faced by various design workshops, which find it very difficult to access affordable studios or ateliers.The new School of Arts complex will be designed to be used year-round and throughout the entire day, not just during school hours. The area of the Old Market in Pula is degraded, having lost its identity after being bombed in World War II; today, it serves only as a parking lot. The demolition of the entire city block that once stood at this location destroyed the ancient city structure and took away the significance of the cardo-decumanus street grid, which is clearly laid out in the case of Pula. The purpose of the conceptual design is to re-emphasize the erased street and thus heal the wound in the urban fabric. In this thesis, I also ask how we should build in a Mediterranean climate. The project draws on the knowledge of vernacular architecture, attempting to design a building as a climatic machine that can coexist with the hot Mediterranean climate and the challenges posed by climate change
