Bridging the Staromestská Street is an old topic in Bratislava. An important route for the city radically divides the territory of the historic centre, and although the conservationists appreciate the significantly exposed city walls and the existing footprint of the original moat, the division is one of the traumas of our city. After several attempts to build up this area at the level…

While in other cities it is common to call a taxi on the street with a simple gesture, in Bratislava this approach does not work and is almost punished by higher price for the taxi service. Customers often pay double price if they hop into a cab standing on the street compared to a regular fare when they order the taxi over by…

Our objective is to improve the public space. We are aiming at enhancing social interactions in public spaces within the organism of our town. Positioning a table, an element of the interior design, into the exterior will encourage communication between people.

The park at the Bratislava Castle became much discussed topic in 2014 and 2015, since the archaeological site (with Roman excavations )at the castle is projected to get under the ground level due to the planned underground car park with 222 parking lots. Following the original design, there was supposed to be a Baroque park built above the underground car park. However, the…

We propose to use the green area along the centre of Košická Street for a pedestrian zone keeping low vegetation on the sides. The area will be used mainly by people with dogs. A few benches will be placed alongside the pedestrian path. The border of the “micropark” will be provided by planting green bushes to segregate the path with the proposed zone…

A kindergarten, mothers with children, child doctors, a bike track, a parking lot, a roadway, a chaotic junction, passengers getting on and off, a restricted passage, a collision point of the street, a rail and pedestrian crossing, an unattended tram tack, police headquarters. All of this is concentrated in a single pedestrian area on Spitalska street. Our proposal enables the car traffic passage across the tram track, which would reduce the parking…

The appearance of Obchodna Street has been changing over the last few years  with each new banner moving from bad to worse. Its development is uncoordinatead, marked with “aesthetics” of early capitalism, global fastfood restaurants and uncompleted plans of alternating regimes of the 20^th century. The street is saturated with unnecessary information. Unregulated advertising space directly degrades the visual culture of one of…

Environmental remediation takes place slowly, mineral reserves have reached a critical level, scientific and technological development has shown a significant step forward. How to deal with historical, ecological, social challenges? The way would be the protection against negative influences in the form of temporary urban isotopes to avoid creating new residences but to restore and add the original ones accordingly. The combined structures…

The question of color use on residential buildings may be considered a general problem worthy of public discussion. How can the wider public be encouraged to evaluate or re-evaluate their views?

Our proposal suggests a movable intervention, to be set up in public areas within individual neighborhoods of Bratislava. It features a portable object – a cube – 2.5×2.5×2.5m, whose sides would offer…

The world today provides examples of overhead pedestrian routes in built-up areas of the city, the latest tunnel for pedestrians and cyclists in London. Bratislava does not have millions of Euros to spare, but we can afford at least the idea of cross cycle trail. –the motion of bike and walking trails in the direction South (Danube) – North (marketplace on the the…
