    Conurbation
    Mediterranean city of Izola (transl.: island) is one of three coastal cities which together are forming a conurbation on a small Slovenian coast (46 km). Izola is located 20 km south from Italian border (Trieste) and 20 km north from Croatian border on the peninsula Istria. City was founded in Roman times on a small island. The city has tradition in fishing and fishing industry (the biggest fishing industry in north Adriatic sea), but tourism and commerce are growing.

    Site
    Competition site is located at the edge of homogenous city structure. It is surrounded by agricultural landscape, city internal ring and abandoned sand excavation that is under urbanisation with mixed development. North edge is defined by pine boulevard and housing villa-blocks from 50`s and 60`s. Site is positioned in the natural amphitheatre sloping towards the sea and in the 15 minutes walking distance from the city centre.

    Issues

    functional : The goal is to create balanced multifunctional area with emphasis


    on housing and its connection to open public space. To create an area that should respond to the diverse edge conditions - from agricultural landscape, housing neighbourhood, boulevard, school, and sport activities.

    social : The aim is reinvention of Mediterranean type of dwelling and its relation
    with open public space that could act as a contemporary social space. As Izola is popular tourist resort, integration of housing and tourist dwellings could give project additional relevance.

    perceptual : Attraction of the site is represented with dramatic views towards


    the old city center, the sea and Alpine mountains to the north. The site is characterised with the abandoned site of passenger railway.
