Monostor Mill, Pásztó
Concept and text: Bianka Varga
MÉK-MÉSZ Diploma Award
Based in Pásztó, Múzeumkert is a pleasant parkland of the town as well as the historic centre of the settlement. On its southern edge, however, badly deteriorating walls are hiding in the lush weed. This abandoned building is the former Monostor mill. The diploma design targeted to solve the environmental issues of the surroundings of Múzeumkert which is left behind development. To find the functions of the structure a survey of the former watermills in Pásztó was carried out: its very existence was used for and inspired the concept of the designer to imagine it with an adjoining bakery now working in the town centre to exploit its potentials.
