Katarína Haberlandová, Ľubica Voľanská

considered a masterpiece of functionalist architecture by both the general public and the expert community, is brought by two authors with different scientific backgrounds -a theorist of architecture, Katarna Haberlandov and an ethnologist, ubica Voansk. This interdisciplinary collaboration predetermines how they approach their research subject and how they weave their main topic into the chapters. Throughout the book, they chronologically move from the democratic inter-war period, when the building was built, through the fascist Slovak state during WW2, to socialism, and to the era after the regime's fall. The story of one building mirrors the tale of the city and, ultimately, the whole country
