Post-socialist cities suffer from poor quality of public and semi-public spaces, of which. often, there is no one (and limited finance) to take care of. They also have an excess of unused space, which hangs in limbo because of bureaucracy, property settlement, speculative investments, or is the product of frozen real estate market.

Thereare many ‘spaces’ in Bratislava. They can be plots, buildings,…

Viticulture forms the nature of the cultural landscape of our region as far back as the Ancient times. A follow-up to this tradition returns value to the place that belongs to one of the most visible in Bratislava. The project transforms a neglected area of the southern side of the castle rock in the vineyard to serve as an interactive public space. The…

The old railway at Trnavske Myto square has lost its original purpose. People visit this non-functional place in their free time because they lack high-quality public space nearby. We would consider it beneficial to attempt, at least, a partial improvement of the current condition of the area. Demolishing parts of walls, creating sidewalks, installing benches, or planting trees would bring the area closer to…

Let´s compare PARK & RIDE car parks connected to public transport in European cities: Vienna 8 400, Prague 5 600, Berlin 27 200, Bratislava 0. Something’s wrong. The concept of linking PARK & RIDE car parks to public transport helps to relieve the city of heavy traffic; it is therefore appropriate to think about how the capital city of Bratislava could benefit from…

The Franciscan Square is a pedestrian-only area. But it is a contrast to the Main Square which is very busy. That’s why I wanted this space to remain a calm and relaxing place for all. I supported the existing organizations and institutions established in the square. The network of objects was made of honey cells. It is linked to shops in touch with…

The project is concerned with the degradation of aesthetic and architectural qualities of buildings of the second half of the 20^th century and their current unprofessional alterations. I draw attention to an object of Post Office building No. 55 in Bratislava – Petrzalka, which has undergone such a renovation, although it is a valuable construction. The most significant element was the facade consisting of…

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…
