Sažetak
Each part of the history brought a new vertical accent (symbolic meaning) to Zagreb skyline. The urban landscape of Zagreb represents a combination of several dominant Identity elements derived from existing topographic features (river Sava valley, hillsides of Medvednica and Vukomeričke gorice) which have created today’s recognizable city image (Zagreb Identity). Basic elements of Zagreb historic identity can be recognized through the medieval structure of Gornji grad, 19th century grid matrix of Donji grad, numerous early 20th c. single house areas, and apartment buildings communities built in the second half of the 20th century. Historic high rise church towers and contemporary business towers are mixed in today’s Zagreb Urban Identity. In order to preserve the existing values of Zagreb skyline, it is necessary to define the areas where these new symbols can be built and evaluate their visual appearance within the City image.
