URB:ICON
A HUNGEXPO Zrt. és a Magyar Urbanisztikai Tudásközpont, mint társszervező új kiállítást indítottak URB:ICON elnevezéssel. A nemzetközi városfejlesztési kiállítás és projektvásár célja, hogy lehetőséget biztosítson az önkormányzatoknak és a kapcsolódó vállalkozásoknak projektjeik bemutatására.
The First Step
The revitalization of areas once used for military purposes involves special challenges within the chapter of architectural recycling. The loss of function, the abandonment offers the freedom of brown field industrial areas for investors, but the typical spatial system of the buildings or the
embedding of the areas into the fabric of the city pop questions to be answered.
The House of Hidden Sounds
In the section of Wesselényi Street near the boulevard passers-by would only notice that the streetscape is a bright one – a neo-classicist building has been restored to its original beauty in an exemplary project after being neglected for decades.
Service instead of Self-expression
The church is an undivided space of a single powerful gesture which because of its proportions, light conditions, building materials and items of furnishing is both simple and elevated, functional and timeless, accidental and ambitioning to perfection.
Layers from the Past, Made of Stone and Wine
The elongated house is finely nested in the hillside. The laden stone wall appears as the continuation of medieval walls, whilst the thick stone lane of the cornice line acts an emphasized borderline sort of
finishing the past, whereas the lanes of the stone slabs of the shell structure is a continuation of it.
A Point of Intersection
With motor traffic towards the sea, a nearby shopping centre, the industrial park and a cheap hotel, the parking lot and the periphery of the horizon the eastern margins of the town do not offer very attractive environmental conditions to designers. Paul Dillon and Zsolt Zsuffa, however, relied upon the fact that there is no room for adjustment here.
A School on Sick Leave
Most, amikor az EU és Magyarország közötti pénzügyi kapcsolatok a média főcímeiben szerepelnek, kisebb hangsúlyt kap egy-egy önkormányzat – gyakran presztízsberuházásként főtér-rekonstrukcióra költött –, nagyrészt hitelből finanszírozott fejlesztése. Vannak értelmes projektek is, például a Zala megyei Gelsén.
The Metamorphosis of Space
A várost építészeti értelemben soha nem tekinthetjük örök, statikus, megváltoztathatatlan egységnek, hiszen az az időben folyamatosan változó utcák és terek valamint az ezeket határoló épületek, térfalak összessége. Az építész feladata, hivatása, hogy fizikai keretet adjon a létnek, az emberi tevékenység kifejtéséhez szükséges meghatározott méretű tereket hozzon létre…
Hall with a Clock Tower
The large-scale public domain development in Dabas was completed last year. Several public buildings eceived a facelift, new public domains were created, a liveable inner town was born. In December the new market hall opened its gates as a component of the finishing phase of the project.
Maribor European Capital of Culture 2012
Europe in 2012 watches Maribor in Slovenia: this town has been selected as the European Cultural Capital along with the Portuguese Guimaraes. This was the first location in the area of the former Yugoslavia which has received this title and for this reason it is surrounded with great expectations.
Contemporary Nautilus Snail-Shell
At the end of 2010 the local government published a tender for the remodelling of the amphitheatre, the old pen-air theatre stage evoking ancient Geek ones and its surroundings as a new cultural centre. The winning project suggested a function to enrich the town with an emblematic building of high architectural prestige that can be used both in summer and winter for the year of the European Cultural Capital and later on.
