Archi-tektonika veľkorozponového skeletového systému INTEGRO. Koncept otvorenej architektonickej formy reprezentovaný sériou obchodných domov Prior
The Archi-Tectonics of the INTEGRO Long-Span Skeletal System. The Concept of an Open Architectural Form Represented by the Series of Prior Department Stores

Summary/Abstract: The long-span concrete prefabricated skeletal system ŠPÚO-ZIPP was originally intended for the construction of Prior department stores in Slovakia, and later was used as a universal open modular system for a wide range of buildings under the name INTEGRO. Using the example of three department stores, the study offers arguments why, from the point of view of architectural interpretation, it is more correct to perceive buildings made from this skeleton as a series than to look at them as individual buildings responding more or less successfully to their context. As such, the architecture is defined more by a compositional or structural principle than by the final shape and program.
