The Jaskový rad Street is one of the most undersized streets in Bratislava. It is limited by a slope rising up to Koliba on one side and by a slope
leading down to the railway on the other side. The railway is parallel to the main arterial road – the Pražská Street. A lot of traffic. The narrow Jaskový rad. Dwelling. Relaxa- tion….

In our opinion, the Staré Mesto’s embankment pedestrian zone “doesn‘t work“ due to their being no “active places” present there., Walking hand
in hand there could be nice, but not for several kilometres without any impulses. The position and function of the pedestrian promenade is predestined for various micro spaces offering possibilities for movement, rest, sport, relaxation, chilling out, performances and exhibition premises….

We will focus on the bus terminal station under the New Bridge. The environment shadowed by the Building of the Century is a pulsating point of the
turbulent movement of both arriving and departing inhabitants from the near and more distant Bratislava city sections. Such a number of people are logically attracted underneath the beautiful arches of the bridge bodies snack bar, pub,…

Places with the potential for evolving from periphery into integral parts of a metropolis are currently overruled by Panelaks, prefabricated
housing projects of the Communist era. Panelaks desta- bilized the city by erasing its streets.
This street erasure, however, could now lead to higher urbanity. What if Panelaks served for
instance as pedestals for new housing forms, the radical variety of which…

Unkempt “green” islands at crossings and exposed residual green areas near roads provide space for the implementation of our city intervention. The
problems of these “green” islands at crossings and to residual green areas are caused by a lack of maintenance, inoperability and a totally inappropriate image. Our project is not bound only to the location, it can be applied everywhere. The Račianske…

The New Bridge foreland cluster is optimized for the
conditions of a quick and simple traffic connection. At the same time, it’s a necessary
extension of Hviezdoslavovo Square space, though their spatial and organizational characters are
totally different. The open green and pedestrian, romantically urban premises shall turn onto a
sub-space, a traffic space; an urban space, without which the Bratislava city would still be a
village. However,…

The term ”public premises“ is a bit of a worn topic within architectonic and civil discussions, but it seems that some matters have to be reminded of
again and again in the bratislava region. Bratislava is expanding and in spite of that public premises disappear as sold or rented properties, or are restructured for premises with prescribed behaviours. In the cities public spaces free…

Crossing > footbridge

Every picture needs its own frame. The footbridge is now such a frame.
We tried to turn the situation around and to give the footbridge the quality of a picture:

The public green area in Uršulínska Street, in the
Staré mesto, is not utilized by the public. The small park with its tradition, originally the
garden of the Franciscan Monastery and relatively recently con- verted to a green playground, now
looks like a well kept and idyllically designed small park with new trees, a romantic well,
benches, new waste baskets, concrete pavements and a forged pseudo historical…

Bratislava has several ‘specific’ features. The fact that the St. Martin’s Dome, a historical landmark of the city, touches a highly frequented four-lane highway at its south-western facade, is surely one of them. The contact is direct, so if you find your way here on a romantic walk or a tourist trip in the shadow of a gothic cathedral, or if you believe…
