The Inverted Pyramid

in #architecture6 years ago

I saw this crazy looking building while I was wondering without a fixed destination on the streets of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.

I find this to be a very interesting piece of architecture. It's definitely something that seems to defy the laws of logic, as most buildings are wider on the base than at the top.

The architect decided that this one would be a polar opposite.

Judging by the shape of the building I assumed it was an office building of some kind and it looks like I was right.

A quick search on Google showed me that this is the building for the Radio and Television Slovakia (Rozhlas a Televízia Slovenska).

The building is really different and cool enough to catch the passersby attention.

However, it's a pity that the tower from the National Bank of Slovakia (Národná Banka Slovenska) covers most of the structure, when you are standing far away from it.

Why must bankers always ruin everything? 🤔

That big tower looks like it was built by (or for) a man who has some major complexes regarding the size of his genitals. Doesn't it? Ahhahahaha! 🤣

The structure and design is impressive. He who coined the idea for this really tried. I'm pretty sure it cost a lot to erect this.

It must have met some opposition, for sure. 😁

Interesting building, the English newspaper The Telegraph wrote in 2018 that it's one of the ugliest buildings in the world :-)

Well, I've seen much worse! Ahaahhah! 🤭

Nice story! I love Bratislava, it's a beautiful city!

I liked it, too. It was my first time in Slovakia, it's a very cool country.

Thanks for stopping by. Here's a bit of !BEER in a !DERANGED cup for you!

Oh, I live in Krems in Austria, that's only 1.5 hours to Bratislava, so I visit Bratislava several times a year.

Nice! Is there any hidden jewel you can recommend me, in case I go there again?

A lot of!

Are you still in Bratislava? If so visit https://bratislava.kamzik.sk/sk/ - that's a great restaurant with local food. And you won't see many tourists there, mainly local people!

No, I am not. But last Summer I visited 4 cities in the Western part of Slovakia. Next time I will probably be visiting the other side of the country but I'll try to pass through Bratislava again.

By the way, is there any place with great Graffiti in Bratislava? I only saw a few pieces next to the river.

Thanks for the tip.

Hm, in Bratislava I do not know.
But in my hometown Krems an der Donau I know. Please take a look at this story: https://steemit.com/travelfeed/@schmatz/3-bruecken-runde-the-3-bridges-of-krems

Modern materials and technologies make it possible to realize the most perverse imaginations of architects :)

Perverse? Maybe that's not the right word for it but I get your point.

Офигительно!

"Drop Dead?" Is this translation ok?

I first wrote that there is NO, and then I thought-you can translate it like this.
I. e. to Fall dead from admiration of what he saw.
This is cooler than" cool","awesome".
in Russian, they also say this obscenely "ohuitelno" from the word fuck
But "офигительно" is a decent word.

You need to learn real Russian, which is obscene.
There three words Express everything that can be said in many words.
😂😂😂😂

That is cool architecture! Sometimes I wonder how archtects can keep coming up with such creativity!
