Elementary school “Fran Krsto Frankopan” in the city of Krk is situated on north-east corner of
the medieval town.
Decision to locate the school within the medieval city was intensly discussed within the community
and the city council. The central issue of the discussion was of course the dilema where to locate
the building: within the city center, on the site of the existing school where everyone was used to have
the school, or in the outskirts, where the school would have a larger area and better accessibility, but it lacked
the specific character of the existing location. Finally, the decision to position the school was followed
with an invited competition, where the whole community has participated in the choice of the project.
This project is a winning entry from this competition.
Elementary school Fran Krsto Frankopan
Scale of the intervention in proportion to the size of the town made it an urban project.
First important element was the relation to the city wall. The idea of replacing the existing
school with the new one was in part generated by the Monument Protection
Department, that wanted to change the existing skyline of the city dominated by the
late 19th century school building. At the same, construction of the new school has enabled
archeological research and reconstruction of the city wall.
This context meant that the new building had to be recessed as much as possible
from the fortification and respect the skyline where the fortification and the churches were
the most important elements.
