Arts and Design in Bratislava and politician, commented<br />
on Dedeček’s Archive and the Supreme Court buildings in<br />
Bratislava as well as on the question of context or lack of<br />
context of Dedeček's extension of the SNG: “One of the<br />

neighbouring objects is the first characteristic mistake of the<br />
author's concept. (...) The misunderstanding of the “genius<br />
