Free time in petrzalka!

The number of inhabitants in Petrzalka (residential part of Bratislava, Slovakia) will grow to the year 2030 thanks to new construction and development plans. This will increase the demand after free time activities and services. Currently there is one free time center for the whole area, which in the future will be able to only hold up the capacity of northern part of Petrzalka. The southern part thou offers great options for the new free time center, that can be connected with the surrounding nature.

My design is based on current interest of inhabitants and the use of environment to create new activities. The architecture form is based on my previous urban work study resulting into smaller masses oriented on view and connection axes creating outdoor spaces for various smaller functions and activities.

Since I am fascinated by the influence of the space to people, actions and atmosphere I took references from old photographs of Petrzalka with its lovely corners and hidden spots. The objects create variety of unexpected spaces that hold various activities and form connections between action, people and environment.
