Library and Café, Goethe Institut, Bratislava

The new identity of the Goethe-Institut should be generated by written
and spoken words as well. For this reason, the spatial and functional link
between teaching and library area is amplified. Instead of keeping the
strong division between the two zones, the functions now stretch over
the entire floor area. By covering the patio, the space is transformed into
the Institute’s central area for visitors. The combination with the adjacent
rooms enlarges the patio and permits it’s use as an event space. The
existing areas are minimally expanded and at the same time optimized
functionally and strengthened atmospherically. The addition of all small,
punctual interventions generates a new conceptual approach for the Goethe-
Institute in Bratislava.
