DENDROFLORA AND HARMONY OF THE ARCHITECTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL ELEMENTS OF THE PARK SURROUNDING THE FACULTY OF FORESTRY AND THE FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB
Park oko Šumarskog i Agronomskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, nalazi se na području perivoja Maksimir, istočno od potoka Blizneca. Oformljen pedesetih godina prošloga stoljeća, na površini od 5,7 ha, park obiluje velikim brojem drvenastih vrsta, varijeteta i kultivara, te je ukupno utvrđeno 112 svojti. Od toga je 37 golosjemenjača, dok su kritosjemenjače zastupljene sa 75 taksona (tablica 1 i 2).Paviljonski sklopovi u kojima se odvija nastava Šumarskog i Agronomskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, te istraživački rad s područja šumarstva i agronomije, kao i niz građevina iz 19. stoljeća, smješteni unutra parka, predstavljaju bogati presjek razvoja arhitekture od prve trećine 19. stoljeća, pa sve do značajki suvremene arhitekture početka 21. stoljeća (slike 1 do 8). U općim crtama oni predstavljaju razvoj arhitektonskih stilova i misli, te u detaljima zanimljive specifičnosti, vezane uz razvoj zagrebačke arhitekture, kao i osobitosti izraza pojedinih autora.Prilikom podizanja parka tendencija je bila oformiti prostor koji bi ponajprije služio edukaciji studenata Šumarskog i Agronomskog fakulteta, dok je estetska i ornamentalna funkcija biljaka zanemarena. Usporedo sa sadnjom biljnog materijala, nije se vodilo određenim konceptom, već je naglasak stavljen na što veću zastupljenost različitih svojti unutar parka. Posljedično se park ne otvara posjetitelju cjelovitošću spektra morfoloških posebnosti zasađenih svojti.Glavni element prostora uvijek je u početku arhitektonski element, a biljke su sađene tek zaključno s podizanjem građevine. Budući da se prilikom podizanja parka oko Šumarskog i Agronomskog fakulteta nije vodilo dovoljno računa o usklađenosti hortikulturnih i arhitektonskih elemenata, u ovome su radu putem složene analize odnosa između prostornih odlika građevina i reprezentativnih morfoloških značajki pojedinih biljnih svojti dana konkretna rješenja pri odabiru ili modifikaciji hortikulturnih elemenata u smjeru postizanja nedosegnute ravnoteže prirodnih i umjetnih formi, bez agresivnijeg zadiranja u prostor.The park surrounding the Faculty of Forestry and the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb, is located within the Maksimir Public Garden, east of the Bliznec Brook. Established in the 1950s, and covering an area of 5.7 ha, the park abounds in woody plant species, varieties and cultivars, with a total of 112 plant taxa. Out of these, 37 are Gymnosperms, while Angiosperms are represented by 75 taxa (Tables 1 and 2).The pavilion complexes serving as a teaching venue for the Faculty of Forestry and the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Zagreb, and for research in the fields of forestry and agriculture, as well as a number of 19th century buildings, all situated inside the park, represent a rich cross-section of architectural development from the first third of the 19th century to the features of contemporary architecture at the start of the 21st century (Figures 1 to 8). They paint in broad strokes the development of architectural styles and thoughts, showing, incorporated in their detail, some interesting and specific features that are related to the history of Zagreb architecture, as well as the particular qualities associated with the expression of individual authors.At the time of the park development, the tendency was to design a space primarily intended for the education of forestry and agriculture students, neglecting the aesthetic and ornamental function of the plants. There was no prevailing concept in parallel with the planting of the plant material; the emphasis was rather on the greatest possible representation of different taxa within the park. As a consequence, the park does not open towards the visitor with a comprehensive spectrum of morphological characteristics of the planted taxa.In the beginning, the main element of the space is always an architectural element, whereas the plants were planted only in the conclusive phase, after the construction. As at the time of development of the park surrounding the Faculty of Forestry and the Faculty of Agriculture insufficient consideration was given to the harmony of horticultural and architectural elements, this paper provides concrete solutions for the selection or modification of horticultural elements, with a view to establish the previously non-existent balance of the natural and artificial forms without aggressive interventions in the space, based on a complex analysis of relations between the spatial features of buildings and the representative morphological features of individual plant taxa
