DESIGN CHALLENGE:

Five Architectonical Competitions were announced from July 16, 2007 to solve the logical fundamentals of Vydrica city quarter within particular urban blocks.

Revitalization of Vydrica, a territory of the abolished part of former Bratislava’s Hill-Fort, is a great challenge for architects and investors already for decades, not only because of its unique location, but also because it is a part of “genius loci” of our metropolis. Nowadays, this secularly unused territory is almost empty, covered by weed vegetation, and waits for its rebirth. Its time has come.

We are expecting proposals of particular complexes with commercial, residential, administrative program, containing aesthetic and sophisticated urban features.

The Jury will decide upon the number of participants, which will access the second round of the Competition. In this round, participants will submit, again anonymously, their architectonical proposals worked out more in detail.
