Pripremajući
se za pisanje ovog teksta, progoogleao sam web napise s namjerom
da se prisjetim nezaobilaznih, burnih stručnih i ostalih reakcija,
pa i šakačkog obračuna, koje su pratile ovaj projekt. I s velikim
sam zadovoljstvom ustanovio koliko sam već od tog trasha uspio
potisnuti i zaboraviti. Zagledamo li se u srž ove kontroverze,
naći ćemo ključnu riječ -Koeficijent (Kin). I, promatrajući arhitektonski,
zaključiti da je, kao nigdje u Zagrebu, upravo taj Koeficijent
ovome projektu dao zraka. Sagledavajući pak u cijelosti ovu, u
najmanju ruku problematičnu temu, svi se zaključci nekako grupiraju
uz dva neovisna žarišta: Eurotower, promatrano s klasične pozicije
arhitekta urbanista,
ima promišljenu i na zakonima elementarne urbanističke kompozicije
duboko utemeljenu poziciju i mjerilo, koji afirmiraju prirodan
i poželjan razvoj grada, dok njegova arhitektura predstavlja promišljen
odmak od standardne poslovne gradnje.

While
I was preparing to write this article I browsed Google for web
headlines in order to remind myself of the turbulent, apparently
unavoidable, reactions of experts and others to this project that
went so far that one of them even involved fists. I was glad when
I realized how much of that "trash" I’d managed to suppress
and forget. If we look deep into this controversy we will find
one key word – Coefficient (Ku). Thanks to our architectural approach
we shall surely come to the conclusion that it was exactly this
Coefficient that gave this project some air like nowhere in Zagreb.
On the other hand, looking at this problematic subject, to say
the least, from a broader perspective all conclusions gather around
two focal points, in one way or another: the Eurotower, from a
classic architect/urbanist’s point of view, has a deliberate position
and scale, both strongly based on elementary urbanistic laws of
composition, which affirm the natural and desirable development
of the city while its architecture represents a considerate detachment
from usual office construction;
