Life

[edit]

Cvengrošová was born in Radošina. She moved to Bratislava to study architecture at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava and remained in the city since her graduation in 1965. Before the Velvet Revolution, she focused on designing schools and cultural institutions. In 1994, she co-founded the architecture studio CD TEAM with Virgil Droppa Sr.[2] She is buried in Bratislava.[3]

Work

She is notable for designing prominent cultural and sport venues in Bratislava as well as the renovation of historical buildings of the Old Market Hall of Bratislava and Nedbalka Gallery in the historical centre of the city. Most of her eminent work was a result of the cooperation with her life and business partner Virgil Droppa Sr.[2]
