The research deals with a question about Architecture and its design strategies, combining historical information and digital tools. Design strategies are historically defined, they rely on geometry, context, building technologies and other factors. The study of Architecture´s own history, particularly in the verge of technological advancements, like the introduction of new materials or tools may shed some light on how to internalize digital tools like parametric design and digital fabrication.

The work of Renate Wagner-Rieger was crucial in reviving interest in 19th-century architecture and in its inclusion in Croatia’s national history of art. The use of stylistic terms, periodization of 19th-century architecture, particularly historicism, and Renate Wagner-Rieger’s method of organizing the text within monographs on the history of architecture of cities or areas according to building types have had a remarkable influence on how similar topics are treated in Croatian art history., Rad Renate Wagner-Rieger pozitivno se odrazio na oživljavanje interesa za arhitekturu 19. stoljeća u Hrvatskoj kao i za njezino uključivanje u hrvatsku nacionalnu povijest umjetnosti. Korištenje stilskih termina, periodizacija arhitekture 19. stoljeća, posebice historicizma, te način na koji je Renate Wagner-Rieger organizirala tekst unutar monografija o povijesti arhitekture gradova ili područja prema tipovima građevina, značajno su utjecali na to kako su se slične teme obrađivale u hrvatskoj povijesti umjetnosti.

Der Beitrag untersucht die Bezüge zwischen Renate Wagner-Riegers bedeutendem Forschungsunternehmen „Wiener Ringstraße“ und ihrem Engagement für die Erhaltung der Architektur des 19. Jahrhunderts im Kontext der kunsthistorischen Neubewertung des Historismus., U članku se istražuju veze između istraživačkog projekta Renate Wagner-Rieger „Wiener Ringstraße” i njezina zalaganja za očuvanje arhitekture 19. stoljeća u kontekstu povijesnoumjetničke reevaluacije historicizma., The article examines the relationship between Renate Wagner-Rieger’s important research project „Wiener Ringstrasse“ and her commitment to preserving 19th-century architecture in the context of evaluating historicism.

Au XIXe siècle les activités alimentaires ont contribué avec d’autres fonctions à façonner la périphérie des villes de l’âge industriel. Abattoirs et marchés sont devenus des monuments dans le cadre d’un urbanisme disciplinaire et hygiéniste. A la fin XXe et au début du XXIe siècles ces mêmes lieux ont perdu leur caractère périphérique pour devenir des éléments d’articulation des centres urbains élargis. Les fonctions de ces édifices ont connu aussi des changements. Les activités de production ou de distribution alimentaire ont été repoussées vers des périphéries plus lointaines et neutres alors que les édifices du XIXe siècle à fonction alimentaire lorsque qu’ils sont survécu ont connu des modifications de signification. Jouant sur leur valeur patrimoniale ils ont été dans certains cas investis de nouvelles fonctions urbaines culturelles, commerciales ou de loisir ; dans d’autres cas, ils ont été affectés à de nouvelles fonctions de nature alimentaire : nouvelles formules de la distribution des denrées combinant le marché traditionnel et le supermarché, la vente des produits bio et des produits du terroir, les lieux de restauration. La mutation n’est donc pas seulement de nature cartographique mais aussi et surtout de signification. Si la fonction de distribution alimentaire réelle ne disparaît pas entièrement de ces lieux, elle cède une grande partie de la place à une culture de la gastronomie comme mythologie contemporaine, tel que Roland Barthes la décrivait. L’évolution de la culture alimentaire dans le monde contemporain est indissociable de la transformation formelle et symbolique de la cité., In the 19th century, food activities, together with many other urban functions, contributed to shaping the suburbs of industrial age cities. Slaughterhouses and markets became some of the main monuments in the new hygienic and disciplinary town planning. Nevertheless, at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, due to urban expansion, these buildings were no longer suburban elements but an articulated crossroads of the expanding city centres. Although food production or retailing shifted towards distant new suburbs, the historical markets and slaughterhouses were frequently preserved but their significance has changed: some have been invested with cultural, commercial and leisure functions; in other cases the historical buildings remain linked to their original function since they host new food culture trading practices. These buildings have also become the site for a combination of supermarket and traditional food retailing, the sale of sophisticated organic and local products, or restaurants and bars. In these malls the urban function of food supply has not been entirely abandoned but modified to show gastronomic culture as a contemporary mythology, in the sense of Roland Barthes. The evolution of food culture in the contemporary world is inseparable from the formal and symbolic transformation of the city.
