Description : Important ideas for the urban design concept of today’s Freedom probably departed from design proposals resulting from competition for planning of new governmental district held in 1943 by Slovak State. Particularly from proposal designed by Italian architects which was based on monumental abstract composition consisting of buildings in elementary shapes with perforated surfaces.

After the war, idea for governmental/political complex was replaced by idea of university complex and public buildings.
