The city of Rijeka lacks in green areas. The need to design new parks and contents in the wider area of the city prompted the subject of this graduate thesis, while the necessity of simultaneous and intertwined urbanistic and architectural reflection on new residential neighbourhoods and open-space landscape design influenced the choice of this particular location. The preliminary landscape design for the Minakovo park, a drab and neglected area at an attractive position on the border between the city centre and its western suburbs, envisages a multi-use park that will complement the geometrical shapes of the new residential neighbourhood of Rujevica. The spatial, aesthetic and social potentials of this space have been utilized to design a new fluid and functional spatial entity that links the traditional forms of the existing buildings in the Pehlin neighbourhood with the high-rises of the future neighbourhood of Rujevica. The construction of proposed landscape design of the Minakovo park is expected to raise the life quality of the surrounding residents and fulfil the outdoor needs of all age groups and people with special needs, as well as form an attractive green area that will also attract potential users from distant parts of the city.
