Revitalization of Industrial Park Žilina

The concept comes from the long-term objective of the city to transfer unwanted operating chemical production into non-operating. The problem is the lack of overall town conception, legal approval and synchronization of new solutions with existing ready-to-finish production. The goal of this study is to „tune“problems mentioned above.
New town structure owned by AQUACHEMIA will be terminated by two main compositional axis – Štefánikova street and Hviezdoslavova street. There will be located 2 entrances into building. Internal transportation system will react to existing town structure. Main axis will alternate with multifunctional buildings and build-up area will be in terminated in 4–5 storeys.
„Zone AQUACHEMIA“
Concept of the town is to create a new pedestrian zone between Štefánikova and Hviezdoslavova street while preserving existing streets and underground TI nets as well as the capable buildings. New will be replaced by old Railway track will be preserved for attractive internal transportation, or other usage.
In order for conception to be transparent, existing AB on Štefánikova street will be demolished to create entrance gate into the structure. Similarly, from the west side, new entrance square will be created.. Preserved buildings will be used for administrative and living purposes. New buildings will be polyfunctional. Structure will be overgrown with greenery, roofs will be vegetative and it will also cover water system. Investor’s main opportunity is area on Hviezoslavova street with potential for intensive build-up area and sport-relaxation area and cultural zone. In symbiosis with railway, a new attractive street environment will be created. Some carrying systems of air connection TI will be preserved.
