ISTRIAN CULTURAL CENTER
"To boost the new cultural quarter of the Slovenian city Izola, our proposed design for the Istrian Cultural Centre is guided by the concept of connection. Carefully positioned in the urban and natural fabric of the harbor city, the building connects the city with the seaside, bridges the gap between the historic center in the north and the newly developed tourist areas in the south, and links practitioners and visitors of various art forms. We designed the beating heart of Izola’s cultural quarter, featuring a wide variety of spaces, from a small café and a book shop to exhibition spaces and a full-scale theatre hall.” - VenhoevenCS
renders by Mitja Usenik“At the heart of the design Istrian Cultural Centre is a spacious and light foyer, a ‘cultural axis’ that runs through the building, reinforcing the visual and physical connection between the sea and the city.” - VenhoevenCS
