Geocache Description:

Cibona

HR: Cibonin toranj je poslovni neboder smješten u Zagrebu, Hrvatskoj na adresi Trg Dražena Petrovića 3, u blizini križanja Kranjčevićeve ulice i Savske ceste. Treći je neboder po visini u Republici Hrvatskoj, 2.6m niži od Zagrepčanke. Visok je 92m; iznad zemlje su: visoko prizemlje i 25 katova. Na krovu se nalazi radio jarbol čiji je vrh 105 metara iznad zemlje. Dio je kompleksa koji se još sastoji od nižih poslovnih objekata, košarkaške dvorane i umjetničke instalacije. Neboder je cilindar promjera 25m koji u 4 stupnja smanjuje promjer prema vrhu, da bi završio s antenskim jarbolom. Cilindar je rastavljen smicanjem po promjeru tako da baza podsjeća na tupi propeler, a dvije su polovice pri vrhu odvojene crnom plohom. Fasada je izvedena u tamnom čeliku, potpuno reflektivnom staklu i crnom granitu. Prozori nisu fiksni. Prvi stupanj završava na 21. katu, drugi na 23. katu, treći na 24. katu, a zadnji se proteže do vrha 25.kata. Obod nebodera drži 26 armirano-betonskih stupova koji ga čine otpornim na jake potrese (do 7 stupnjeva po Richteru) i na udarac manjeg zrakoplova poput Cessne. Na 20. katu se nalaze konferencijske dvorane, a na 21. je restoran za djelatnike. Gradnja je počela u travnju 1986. godine, a završetak radova 1987. godine u povodu održavanja Univerzijade, u sklopu kompleksa "Sportsko poslovni kompleks CIBONA zagreb". Na projektu su radili: Marijan Hržić, Borislav Šerbetić i Ivan Piteša. Glavni je izvođač radova bilo poduzeće GRO Vladimir Gortan.
EN: The Cibona Tower in Zagreb, Croatia is a business building. The address is Trg Dražena Petrovića 3, near the Savska and Kranjčevićeva intersection. It is 92 meters (307 feet) tall, and it has 25 levels above ground. There is a radio mast on the roof, which increases the height of the tower to 105 meters (350 feet). As of 2007, Cibona Tower is ranked 3rd by height (2nd when you include the antenna) in Croatia. The tower is a part of the complex that comprises lower business objects, a 5,400-seat basketball hall, and an art installation. The skyscraper is a cylinder, 25 meters (83 ft) in diameter, which reduces its diameter in four stages, and ends up with a radio mast. The facade is derived in dark steel, totally reflective glass, and black granite. The windows are not fixed. The first stage ends up on the 21st floor, second on the 23rd floor, third on the 24th floor, and the fourth on the 25th floor. The rim of the tower is held by the 26 reinforced concrete pylons, which make it resistant to a 7° Richter scale earthquake, and the impact of a smaller airplane. The tower was built in 1987 because of the Universiade that was held in Zagreb that year. The architect responsible for its design is Marijan Hržić.
