1. How do you define the main issue of your project in relation with the theme “Living Cities Imagining architecture taking care of the milieus”? And in which way do you think your project can contribute to an ecological and/or social evolution?
Makarska, a layered artifact in its essence unmistakably Mediterranean, is shaped by its people and their habits. The project enables the complexity and gradation of human interaction in society and in Makarska. These interactions transpire in specific locales, defined by deeply human and architectural elements - the roof over the open public space, which enriches the individual and the society.

2. How did the issues of your design and the questions raised by the site mutation meet?
Our approach was to extract the locality of the place, its character and to analyze in a wider context what it should become. We decided to capture and enhance unique atmospheres across three distinct levels at three intertwined locations. A local, domestic symphony from overlapping sounds of clinking of the plates, children playing, crickets and the wind is created, inseparable from the Mediterranean.
