[:en]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…
[:en]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,…
[:en]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…
[:en]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…
[:en]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…
[:en]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…
[:en]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…
[:en]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: crossing < Footbridge[:sk]Križovatka > lávka Každý obraz potrebuje svoj rám. Lávka je dnes rámom. Skúsili sme túto situáciu otočiť a dať lávke…
[:en] 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…
[:en]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…
