About this audio guide
This guide to the Kamzík Television Tower above Bratislava is about the building as a machine of concrete and steel, and the small puzzle of how tall it really is. It follows the engineers and architect who shaped it in the late nineteen sixties and seventies, the vineyards behind its silhouette, and what the lettered platforms reveal. Best heard at the foot of the tower, looking straight up the shaft.
