My diploma design is meant for my hometown, Alsónémedi to salvage at least partially the buildings of the former stationery factory in the centre standing vacant now for more than a decade. now. My plan is to clad this fragment of the past in a new, yet recognizable attire by retaining some parts of the existing building stock within the framework of a project minimalizing costs. Before starting the designing process, a programme for a building resembling a culture and events centre was outlined by the requirements we surveyed. The focus of the design is the steel-frame stucture of the former stationery factory. The hall is positioned in a yard surrounded by walls, and the primary functions are all housed in this mass. The hall and the cortile is framed by outer blocks of the secondary auxiliary functions.
