Summary/Abstract: Slovak architecture, by definition buildings which followed the 1918 union of Slovakia and the Czech Republic into Czechoslovakia, began with the promising Czechoslovak functionalism from the inter- and post-war period. It was the foundation for the Slovak contribution to late Modernism, also called Socialist Modernism and Eastmodern, which emerged from a program developed by the Socialist government “to manifest the national integrity of the country,” through architecture.
