SADAR + VUGA was founded by Jurij Sadar and Bostjan Vuga in Ljubljana in 1996. Over the past decade and a half it has focused on open, innovative and integral architectural design and urban planning. The office has been driven by a quest for quality, with a strong belief that forward-leaping architec¬tural production contributes to our well-being, and generates a sensitive and responsive development of the physical context we live in, broadening our imagination and stimulating our senses.The growing portfolio of built work ranges from innovative town planning to public space sculpture, from interactive new public buildings to interventions within older existing structures. SADAR + VUGA designs extended living areas in residential buildings, guided by the culture and climate of place; shapes interior environments that respond to very personal tastes and desires. The client base reflects the diversity of built and project experience. Ranging from municipal councils and Central Government, encompassing national and private arts bodies and multi nationals to the best developers in Slovenia.With the “Formula New Ljubljana” – a collection of their own realisations and of urban planning studies – the architects atSADAR + VUGA are now also intervening in the political process. They are of the opinion that architecture should not function as a mere piece of design, but rather as a way to shape and change social space. In their view, in the age of the experience economy, architecture thus plays an interactive social role
