A competition proposal for the square revitalization in a Bratislava residential area.
Republic Square, located in a residential neighborhood of Bratislava, cannot be called an up-to-date public space.
Therefore, the city municipality held a competition for an urban and landscape design project to revivify the square.
In our project, we have created a corner of nature thanks to existing and new plants that will create comfortable shade, provide noise and dust protection, and complement the green framework of the city.
The main idea of our BLOOMING CHERRY BLOSSOM proposal is a metaphor for life and rebirth. This project is an opportunity to give the space a new look and charm and to return its functional significance through the wise implementation of modern solutions.
The proposal includes the saturation of the area with different thematic zones scattered throughout the area, like cherry blossom petals. The development of Republic Square in Bratislava is necessary to improve the living conditions of residents, provide attractive and comfortable spaces for socializing and personal growth.
