The Maths faculty isn't as might first appear an epidermic exercise yet in fact a work of insertion. Located in one of the university areas of Liubliana, the programme is built upon a previous two-storey building not belonging to the faculty, such that the existing building and the new one have to remain separate, even though they share the same space.

Bevk Perovic decide that this separation should be apparent on the façade, hence the new building is enveloped in a skin of pressed glass, while the existing building conserves the original rendering. The relationship between the two is relaxed, with tacit agreements such as the module for the hollow spaces.

Confronted with the lack of a large meeting area on the ground floor, the authors empty out the volume in some points and make these visible from the outside, also integrating the open space into the programme of lecture halls and offices.
