the constant transformations of the city of rijeka’s coastline are
part of its history, also connected with the development of new urban
fabric along the shore. in the new millennium rijeka has once again the
opportunity to transform its shore- line and introduce new spatial
qualities to its waterfront.
the new delta district implicates not only
high quality open spaces for itself but also connects the inner city
with the seafront once again. the dividing effect of the mainstreet
could be resolved with the parallel development of the delta-park and
delta–city.
located in a strategic position, surrounded by the
waterscapes of river rječina, mrtvi kanal and kvarner bay, the delta
area has the potential to become a new link from the town centre to the
waterfront. starting from the two most significant spatial qualities of
the new delta area – the seafront in the south and the large public park
in the north – the project aims to weave them together in a modern city
district. the architectural structure of the new development is
supported by a sequence of public spaces that stretch like green fingers
from the large delta park over the green bridge into the new district.
the water flows in a complementary movement. from the docks of porto
baross marina and sušak breakwater, through the sunny terraces
surrounding the new basin, to the new promenades along river rječina and
mrtvi kanal, the project maximises the coastline and offers a diversity
of views and spatial experiences in a connection with water. the new
waterfront development unfolds rijeka’s existing coastline and adds a
highly valuable residential and business address at the interface
between the sea and town centre.
