If a more closely specified definition of authorial architectural context was required, the title might have referred to a quadrangle or a square, since contemporary architecture in Zadar is most recognized for the work of four authors – Niko Bašić, Ivan Oštrić, Igor Pedišić and Ante Uglešić. However, since the actual project is based on a triangle, it seems important to emphasize its basic form, in order to point out several prominent aspects of the work by Igor Pedišić, in the context of the current redefining of some large urban areas in Zadar, among which the most significant is the former Boris Kidrič textile plant.
