The University Campus Livade was set to operate as an open network, continuously growing spatial system that allows for the integration of any potential needs of the University of Primorska, located in the Mediterranean coastal town of Izola. An autonomous urban fabric with its own rules defines the specific identity of the new campus, which extends and complements the existing town centre. Its location on a hilly slope allows for the campus to be as permeable as possible, both in physical as well as visual terms, so that the green outskirts are closely intertwined with the dense historical town centre.

Livade 1.0 is planned as the first in the network of five interconnected faculty buildings, each organised as H-shaped narrow concrete volumes with a central covered atrium. A double system of linear stairs enhances social interaction and illuminates the connecting corridors. The programs are distributed vertically from more to less public: lecture halls - research labs - offices. A system of protruded windows shifts the views towards the sea.
