The Bratislava Terminal aims to unify the currently disjointed railway infrastructure of the city, bringing visitors closer to the centre. Sitting within the context of the European infrastructural project the Magistrale for Europe the terminal will aid in interconnecting European cities more closely.

Structurally, the project looks to traditional, vernacular, utilitarian Slovak timber construction methods, translating them into contemporary applications. Working within the restrictive legislation affecting the use of structural timber, the proposal aims to become a showcase of structural timber in a civic building.

As a large intervention into the city, the station is both infrastructurally and socially transformative for the capital – a perfect showcase for timber as a structural material, and for the creation of an inter-mobility hub merging the railway, public transport, and cycle infrastructure in new ways. The development will not only interconnect the disjoint capital city but will also aid in bringing it closer to the West.
