Slovenský rozhlas
Slovakia
Stand on Mýtna ulica and look up, and the building seems to be doing something buildings are not supposed to do: it widens as it rises. The Slovak Radio building is a steel inverted pyramid, 80 metres to the tip of its antenna, and it has never been easy to feel neutral about. It holds the title of Building of the Century in Slovakia in the category of social buildings, and since December 2017 it has been a National Cultural Monument. Yet its design is also received negatively, and some have called it the regime's iron fist, banged on the table to push its truth through. Both readings are part of standing here.
