The focus of this case study is the landscape around the Meštrović Pavilion in Zagreb. The Pavilion, a cultural heritage site, was built from 1934 to 1938, based on the initial idea by Ivan Meštrović, an esteemed Croatian sculptor. Since its opening, the building has served as the Home of the Croatian Association of Artists, a gallery, a museum, and even a mosque during the 1940s. Today, it's back to its original functions as an exhibition gallery and Home of the Croatian Association of Artists. The square around the building has undergone major reconstruction this year which, experts and the general public agree, has led to the devastation of its landscape.

In this section you talk about the design concept of your area. Is it a highly maintained site, i.e. does the design with nature require intensive maintenance? Or does the site follow a more organic interpretation of nature? Which changes are expected if maintenance is missing?

Here you discuss the types of negative impact you are observing but you can also mention new functions that could give a development opportunity

Finally, please share some ideas of how you would initiate positive change for your heritage area
