The historic center of
Ljubljana,
Slovenia, has strict building regulations to preserve its medieval
character. The Guardian is a proposed skyscraper of 28 floors that
would surpass the tower of the
medieval castle
as the city’s highest structure. The most interesting aspect of this
proposal is the dialogue it creates between existing and contemporary
architecture. A provocative organic façade covered with vegetation
interacts with the old city while the opposite façade with its
minimalistic glass cladding overlooks the modern city.
The first three floors of the building are dedicated to commercial
spaces while the rest would be occupied by offices and apartments. The
skyscraper sits on top of one of the most important plazas.
