The iconic Hotel Panorama in Slovakia, known in contemporary culture for being used as the cover of the Belarusian post-punk band Molchat Doma's sophomore album "ΠΡΠ°ΠΆΠΈ" (Etazhi)
The 1969 Hotel Panorama in Slovakia, designed by Zdenek Rihak, was constructed for the 1970 World Ski Championships. This brutalist structure stands as a testament to the architectural trends of the late 1960s, characterized by its use of raw concrete and geometric forms. RihΓ‘k's design emphasizes functionality and integration with the surrounding landscape, offering panoramic views of the Slovakian mountains. The hotel played a pivotal role in accommodating athletes and visitors during the championships, showcasing modernist design in a sporting context.
