The town-planning design of the new building of the Roman-Catholic Faculty of Theology and the Seminary is based on a maximum respecting of the natural actualities of the environment. The construction plan does not go beyond the border of the continuous forest. The town-planning concept enables a logical terrace-like successive arrangement of the functional units, i.e. Faculty – Seminar – Accommodation of the nuns. Due to the chosen town-planning concept, the transportation uses the street Krahulčia ulica as a service road for the entire site. The architectonic expression of the objects is modest, pure – explicitly disclosing the functions of particular premises. The sacral premises were elaborated in a more demanding way, in order to emphasise their spiritual importance within the entire complex. The construction-solution is traditional and does not require expensive structural elements – it uses just a minimum variety of materials. All external pavements as well as the floors in the common rooms are made of natural stone of Slovak origin. The internal and external walls and ceilings were provided in smooth white plaster. The windows and doors are made of wood. Besides the philosophical context, all that is supposed to symbolise simplicity and the identification with the surrounding nature.
