TAB 2026 Installation Programme Competition invites architects to rethink luxury through the lens of limited resources

Situated on the Danube, linking Vienna and Budapest by water. An industrial site in the wider city centre of Slovakia’s capital. Once a heavily used and noisy cargo port. Currently the largest urban redevelopment site in Bratislava. A place where the past meets the future—and where the city’s next chapter is being shaped today.

The theme of the competition is the design of the 350-hectare "Arsenal Memory Park" complex. It looks for a complete urban development of the site which will host „Interpretation Center“ which will be complemented and enhanced with facilities for cultural, artistic, educational, and recreational activities that promote open dialogue, discussion, exchange of ideas, and respect for diverse perspectives (up to 40.000 m2 area).
