Tržnica
Slovakia
You find the Nová tržnica, the New Market Hall, on Trnavské mýto, at the edge of Bratislava's wider centre rather than in the old core. It looks less like a market than a machine: a glazed container with its air-handling ducts left exposed on the outside, the plumbing of the building worn as decoration. That was the point. The architect, Ivan Matušík, worked in the spirit of high-tech and of what the source calls machine aesthetics, and the fully glazed outer skin was meant to reflect the busy life of the market going on inside it.
