Slovak Radio Building, Media headquarters in Staré Mesto, Bratislava, Slovakia
The Slovak Radio Building features two pyramidal structures that form an inverted pyramid pattern creating its distinctive shape. The steel-frame construction is mounted on springs to isolate vibrations from affecting the broadcast operations inside.

The concert hall inside hosts musical performances and draws visitors interested in classical music and orchestral events. The acoustics were specifically designed for radio broadcasting, making each visit a focused listening experience.
