Chalupkova Bratislava Architecture & Urban Design Competition

We aim to transform this long-neglected zone, into a vibrant area with world-class architecture, prime residential and commercial spaces, as well as high-quality public spaces with greenery, all while maintaining a strong emphasis on the environment.

Description
The 3-hectare building site is one of the most prestigious locations in Bratislava, situated in the newly emerging downtown, in close proximity to the Danube River and the Old Town.
Historically, this zone was dominated by significant industrial centers. Due to its economic importance, it became a target of the first air raid on the city during World War II. As a result, the area was partially abandoned and over time, the factories ceased operation.
We aim to transform this long-neglected zone, into a vibrant area with world-class architecture, prime residential and commercial spaces, as well as high-quality public spaces with greenery, all while maintaining a strong emphasis on the environment.
The first round serves as an open pre-qualification, with a maximum of three teams/proposals selected by the jury to proceed to the second round, where participants will be asked to create and present a more elaborate proposal.
Three international architects have been pre-selected to advance directly to the second round as invited participants:
Jakub Cigler Architekti
