The site is strongly defined by the heterogeneous dynamic
of the area next to the city centre: the avenue, adjoining
buildings morphology, nearby green areas. This complex morphology
is used to establish a more complex passage between the public
space of Celovška Street and the building's program. On the
north-eastern and south-eastern side we follow the geometry
of existing building structure which opens up a plaza towards
Celovška Street, a medium of communication between the public
and semi-public space. On the street regulation line, the
structure is enveloped into a lacy membrane, emphasising the
specific programme. Expression scale of the envelope is set
to driver's perception; the building communicates with city
on the ground floor level through its program - the plaza
and library/cafe, both oriented towards the street. Interior
volumes are not structured according to function but rather
form a monolith, thus expressing the program's specifics.
