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…

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…

The children’s playground at Budkova street (which translates as the Booth Street) has left many adults with memories of scratched knees or sand castles. Over the last 10 years, however, this potentially-lucrative piece of land has deteriorated and some local interest groups seem to be planning to use this large space in a manner not beneficial for the public. Opposite the playground there…

The courtyard at numbers 1 to 5 Tovarenska street makes you feel the burden of the past. There are barred ground floor windows, concrete pavement, garages reflecting a past that should be long gone. Mustiness. The school yard behind the garages hardly allows dim light in, only metaphorically through shouting. Our proposal, to a certain extent, brings back the times when the garages were not…

It is nice to see the number of cycling paths in Bratislava increasing. However, in some locations, they overlap with the sidewalks. The sidewalks are most often merged with the cycling paths at intersections and pedestrian crossings. The traffic lights apply to both pedestrians and cyclists, which can cause dangerous situations at the crossings.

Implementing traffic lights for cyclists could increase the safety…

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…

Our proposal suggests building new parking places under the Apollo bridge on the left bank of the river Danube. At present the space is unused. Since the area is deficient in parking lots (particularly during the work week), we suggest to unite the existing parking area with our proposed new parking area by building a concrete access road and a crossing over the…
