Zaha hadid's 'bratislava
culenova city center'
Scheduled for completion in 2013, zaha hadid's 'bratislava
culenova city center' will surely transform the identity of the slovakian
metropolis. a matrix of circular and
ovular patterns divides the square site into a series of fluid paths and
footprints around a decommissioned power plant. extruded residential and office
towers grow taller towards the perimeter of the plot, while mid-rise pavilion-scale
structures better adapt to the human scale. the facades of the elliptical
towers are characterized by an orthogonal structural grid exhibited on a
variety of scales with a slight gradient of solidity that exposes the spaces as
they grow taller. green spaces become sculptural circulation elements that tie
all of the programs together on an urban scale, engages the user.
