| Sumario: | At the beginning of the 20th century, the city of Osijek was well known as an Industrial city. With more than twenty-five factories in different industrial branches, the city started rapidly to grow and develop. At the peak of its development, in 1991 the Croatian War of Independence also known as Homeland War destroyed all the dreams and prosperous future of the city. Many factories, buildings, homes, and lives were destroyed. The main infrastructure was destroyed, and people left the city which had a negative impact on economic development. During this uncertain period, a large number of factories were closed, destroyed, and abandoned, which led to the appearance of numerous unused industrial sites inside the city. In this paper, the focus will be on the Iron Foundry and Machine Factory OLT. The complex of the OLT factory, through its history, position, and role during homeland war within the city represents the industrial spirit of the city and it is one of the landmarks of Osijek. The aim of this paper is through the adaptive reuse of the industrial heritage site of OLT to contribute to the quality of local life, to improve social and cultural aspects of the city, and to contribute to environmental sustainability. The proposal is to figuratively divide the complex into four areas. Each area would focus on different aspects of life following the needs of the people in its surroundings. The main focuses are on repurposing structures for different functions while preserving cultural heritage which will minimize the need for new construction and preservation of the environment. |
