Location

VÁC- EDUCATION CENTRE |Diploma work 2016 - Szent István University

The design site is located in Hungary, 30 km from Budapest in the City of Vác at the Danube Bend. The diploma project concentrates on an education and sports centre area located in the outskirts of Vác. The main challenges are the lack of other functions such as a café, shops, the hourly fluctuation of the users, and - as a result of this- the emptiness after school time. The detailed design task placed in a 2 hectare, flat, empty area which is partly misused as a parking lot. My design was helped by the regular movement of the students which is visible in the grass.

Residential construction

Madách Imre High School

It is a frequented place mainly used by students since three high schools, a sports hall and a dormitory building situated here.

The aim is to create a unique and adaptable square which acts as a forum for the students and at the same time able to react to the continuously changing circumstances in this area. The most important thing is to combine the education and sport functions with additional programs.

All the squares have an individual name and also differences in use. The Pavilion Square is a café and meeting place with the relaxing presence of water. The Skater’s Area is a free style place with in situ concrete elements for skaters. The Stage Park with a 2m high hill area is a place for outdoor cinema and many other programs such as festivals, or concerts. Madách Square is also an important meeting point with water jets, elevated flower-beds, and some smaller sport tools for spontaneous use. The “Chilling Zone” is an area for recreation with canvas shade and benches. The “Floating Islands Park” is a calm, green park for relaxing, picnic and studying.
