Abstract
In the West, the idea of Slovakia is only marginally defined. Hardly anyone can recall an image or landmark of Bratislava, one of Europe’s youngest capitals — let alone representatives of architecture and design. Descriptions of Slovakia do not tend to automatically evoke the notion of outstanding design. Especially when referring to the period between the 1960s and 1970s.

Petrzalka: in 1966, an international competition co-organised by Štefan Svetko was held for a largescale settlement on the South Bank of the Danube in Bratislava. The shared winning entries came from Austria and Japan among others. Construction began in 1977 and lasted until the 1980s. Currently, Petrzalka houses 115.000 inhabitants, about 25% of the population of Bratislava.
