eDU Park Dubrovnik

The context of Dubrovnik is always burdened by the iconic image of the old city. The picture/postcard known everywhere is a brand and a money-making fact that will always bring people/tourists in to the city. Independent and free Dubrovnik Republic was famous through history not only by its physical/built environment but also by its intellectual and cultural elite. In the past a lot of builders (M.Michelozzi, J.Dalmatinac), scientists (R.Boskovic, I.Supek) and poets (M.Drzic, I.Gundulic) were citizens of Dubrovnik and their contribution was important not only for the city but to the whole Europe and the world.

Project proposes the reconstruction of the abandoned old hospital site by inserting new educational and public program in breathtaking Natural Park thus creating new cultural density and social structure for the old city of Dubrovnik. 
A beautiful pine forest 200 meters from old city on the natural sea cliff 50 meters above the sea and 30m high boles and green treetops above are like green clouds covering the whole site. There are abandoned hospital facilities – pavilions in the park, some housing, old church with a graveyard, public beach on the cliffs and small Public Park on the site today.
