I previously posted a photo from here, and then realised the viewers might not get the whole picture of this rather ingenial work. So up here’s a second take - enjoy!
On a warm summer evening under Kapucínska’s tram lines, the brutalist underpass comes alive. Golden light spills over rough concrete, setting the stage for a rare sound mix. A man blows sharp, ancient notes on a Slovak koncovka flute while an electric box hums the veena’s deep, dreamy tones. The raw concrete walls drink it all in, blending tradition with a fresh, electric pulse in the heart of Old Town.
This gritty, brutalist structure isn’t just functional—it’s a bold statement of raw urban strength. Its exposed concrete, strong lines, and cavernous spaces define a the 20th-century vision where utility meets stark beauty. Against the fading light and floating music, the underpass reveals itself not only as a crossing, but as an architectural landmark that holds the pulse of the city.
