Sažetak
In a rather voluminous book of more than 600 pages, Snješka Knežević has depicted the genesis of seven architectonic park squares of Zagreb, together know as The Green Horseshoe. It frames the Lower City between two historical traffic arteries, the Pet-rinjska Street and the Savska Road. Considering that they give the most expressive testimony about the culture of the time of the Grunderzeit, which coincides with the time of the Compromise, its documents truly deserve as great a part of the book. The immense quantity of the urbane-architectonic documents, compiled by the author for critical evaluation and revaluation as historical and aesthetic documents of historism and Secession, in the flow of the time and modern functionalism. Using the method of the decomposition of the wholw, the author has in certain passages shown that this was not made by design, that plans were adjustied following up on recent requests, their contents, belueprints redrawn, suggestions given and abandoned, praised and objected to From the beginning, ideas were subjected to immediate use, but as the awareness of the metropolis developed, art and science, traffic, the middle-class capital and distinction, wrote steadily the best pages in the history of the construction of the Lower City, by means of the skill of park design and the architectural symbolics.
