In the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava, there is a massive lack of (convenient / usable) public spaces in general. One may want to socialize rather somewhere else than in shopping malls without identity, however, the quality of public space is usually found as very limited to do so.
Also, there is a question if doing a sport in cities must be considered as an expensive activity dut to various reasons. And to what extent this can be influenced by re-design of formerly spectacular and the very popular area of Tehelne Pole, which has started to decay decades of years ago.
The student proposal of Tehelne Pole' regeneration was supported by ideas coming from participatory design approach. During the term of finding out a solution for an appropriate design, numbers of dialogues and inquiries were collectiong in a goal to meet community-led expectations and critical opinion of what is required for the spot.

in an attempt to realize what all is a part of the site

right hand side: an idea to enclose the area - to come with a new identity; to isolate from frequent drives around the site
spatial hierarchy and pedestrian movements: dashed line represents an idea of easy-accessible sportgrounds by both more or less independent settlements (toward north and south from Tehelne Pole). At the same time, footpaths create zones dedicated for each sport settled at Tehelne Pole since its beggining
a plan proposal: new landscape, couple of blocks of flats and function categories for better space hierarchy of public space
