Eurovia Arena
Eurovia Arena (formerly known as Hant Arena) is a multi-use arena in Bratislava. The arena has distinct shape made of two crossing parabolic arches covered by a suspended rope structure. Construction When the need to build a new sports hall was considered in the 1950s, even the architect of the proposal, Jozef Chovanec, did not expect that its construction would cause such a strong response and would be part of the scene of Slovak architecture to this day. The building was created in 1962 and the architecture was considered too bold, too complicated, too progressive. During these year, a lot of constructions were built via prefabrication. The construction of the Hant Arena, which is a partial copy of the Dorton Arena in Raleigh, USA, was challenging, provocative and elegant at the same time.

Buildings And Structures In Bratislava
A building, or edifice, is an enclosed structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory (although there's also portable buildings). Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the term ''building'' compare the list of nonbuilding structures. Buildings serve several societal needs – primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work.

Ever since the first cave paintings, buildings have also become objects or canvasses of much artis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
