Compared to the past, when Bratislava’s sidewalks were made of asphalt, concrete pavement is more environmentally friendly, more aesthetically pleasing, easier to maintain and continues the historical reference of the capital city.
The new pavement in Bratislava is unique in its graphic elements, format, material and structure. The pavement draws inspiration from the typical architecture of Bratislava and contains sensitive references to the iconic illustrations and graphic language of Miroslav Cipár, Ľudovít Fulla or Milan Dobeš, who, apart from Bratislava, are united by their love for geometric shapes.
The unmistakable tile with the inscription “Bratislava” also refers to Bratislava artists. The pavement combines the modern with the classic in an original, yet understandable geometric language.
Pavement is also preferable to asphalt in terms of climate change adaptation. It forms a permeable surface that helps absorb rainwater. The water thus stays in the area longer and helps improve the microclimate in the surroundings.
