Design of Energy Efficient Architecture The 1st Prize at the Competition for Design of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry of the Zagreb University, 2014

Abstract

This Paper is a presentation of the First Prize entry on the International competition for the new Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry building, by architect Dražen Juračić. The main idea was to incorporate the new building within the context characterized by distinct topography, oak forests and, above all, by Mirogoj cemetery and its sepulchral Arcades, master pieces of Herman Bolle and of Zagreb historicist architecture and urbanism. The new structure follows the slopes of the terrain, enabling entrances on different levels.
