_university

_at the university I had participated several design subjects, each with various topics_

  1. semester _ space composition
  2. semester _ basics of architecture
  3. semester _ residential building design
  4. semester _ public building design
  5. semester _ architecture of workplaces
  6. semester _ urban planning design
  7. semester _ minor complex design
  8. semester _ complex design 1.
  9. semester _ complex design 2.
  10. semester _ final design

_every subject was held by different departments to wide the perspective of students until the 6th semester _ thus they get to know easily all building types through the eyes of responsible designers at  those departments__

_after the first period of acquaintance, students can choose a department and a consultant for the last two years _ the last designs are planned more and more in detail with connecting disciplines such us mechanics, electrics, and construction_


_1.semester _ space composition

_an entertainment for the ever first design processes _ there are 6 tasks each with an own purpose to teach for the students _ at first frame is experienced (usually a cube with strict measures e.g. 12x12x12 cm), then commonly used concepts such as shadow and light, music, and plasticity are given to realize within the frame, however, they are new for a freshman_

_(coming soon)_

_2.semester _ basics of architecture_(BoA)

_during this subject, more architectural projects are assigned to individuals and groups _ usually BoA is committed to a specified but different location in each year to accustom students to limitations caused by environment _ Margaret Island was dedicated to this BoA_

_addition

_consultants: Piroska Varga, Péter Kronavetter, Ákos Németh
Department of Public Building Design

_six pictures are gives to choose from and create the first maquette _ the photo selected by me illustrates a staircase with paintings on its wall, nothing more _ according to my approach, it was an exhibition hall leading to other ones _ my solution was selected accidentally: my draft-model broke apart before our session _ however, I showed it (I had to show something) to my tutor who was enthusiastic for the unique idea of an intersected maquette _ thus my section model was born with the title of “addition” due to the fact that it calls observers to imagine additional parts_

_horizontality or verticality _ the bench


_location: Margaret Island, Budapest

_consultants: Piroska Varga, Péter Kronavetter, Ákos Németh
Department of Public Building Design

_a bench which breaks through the monotonous rhythm of tall pines – makes a way or stops another?

_the inspiring poems (written by me) _ which one do the observer think it is more true?

the Way
which leads to Your
Destinations
is all Yours

the Problems,
You are faced with,
are all Yours

the Knowledge
that behind them
the way goes
is only Yours

there are some,
whose way goes up to
the clouds

and there are others,
whose way have been
interrupted

but then

though
their damage
they can carry on

_transparent surfaces all around the edge of the Island with nothing else just the existing horizontal line of Budapest from each viewpoint and a pen _ everyone can draw other lines into the panorama according to their imagination how the poster campaign linked to the project invite_

_there is no limit, imagine and draw what you want!

_do you miss Hogwarts’ from the declivities of Gellérthill?

_do you miss the Tower of Sauron from the flat area of Pest?

_do you miss the Opera of Sidney from the banks of the Danube?

_after a year, all of these glass surfaces would be collected and a coffee shop would be build from them on the Island _ this would create not just a unique place because of the shadows of drawn lines, but a special bond to customers who could look for and find their own drawings_

_6. semester _ urban planning design


_location: Rákosrendező Railway station, Budapest

_co-worker: Lipők Zoltán

_consultant: Pálfy Sándor
Department of Urban Planning Design

_campus for Szent István University (SZIE) _ originally, there was no subject just the land which was divided by the rails _ the students had to figure out a theme which was suitable into this environment _ SZIE is located at the edge of the design boundary, though it has never had an university campus _ students and teachers of SZIE expressed their demand for a ground dedicated to SZIE linked to the building therefore the purpose was found _ the solution was a campus committed to SZIE with enough space to include all of its institution, educational centers and college facilities _ the campus links the two sides of the rail and it covers the railway station as a quilt _ thus the station’s operation is steady while the sites are linked together and both are used by the students of university_

_7. semester _ minor Complex Design

_location: Budafok, Budapest

_consultant: Péter Wagner
Department of Construction Technology and Management

_boathouse and restaurant arranged to the terrific view of the Danube’s riverside _ at this subject the students were urged to find a site interesting enough to work with it more detailed than before _ more detailed because this subject was the first in the row in which the students had to work with other disciplines _ thus they learned to be engineers beside designers _ the selected land was used before also as a harbor but without any required environment and had challenging problems causing by the nature _ the boathouse is on the ground floor easily approachable not only from land but from the river as well _ the restaurant is on the first floor and its glass walls face to the gorgeous panorama from Gellért hill to the Csepel-island_



_8-9.semester _ complex design




_location: Aszód, Hungary

_consultant: Tamás Mezős
Department of History of Architecture and Monument Preservation

_revitalization and renovation of Aszód’s Castle of Podmaniczky into a mental health center _ due to its name, this department prefers designing projects linked to some monument or historical side _ Aszód’s Castle of Podmaniczky were perfectly adequate because of its history started from XVIIth century, although its dimensions exceeded far beyond the expectations _ the Castle has had difficult times with vicissitudes through its owners in the latest decades _ now it is an abandoned ruin with no purpose at all _ as a result of Aszód’s other institutes such as a prison, a detention center for young adults, and a prominent high school among others, the complex design was dedicated to a social cause more precisely to help people’s mental health _ consequently, the design program contained a mental hygiene center with a research facility for the Psychology Department of ELTE_

_the complex design covers two semesters from which the second is committed to a part of the original design to be detailed _ fortunately, it was easy to specify and separate just one unit because of the historical extensions and structure of the Castle _ the specified item was the last built wing devoted to be a retirement house _ the renovation part had to solve the impaired and endangered conditions and natural circumstances while the revitalization part needed to create an environment for old people as modern enough to serve every contemporary necessity as comfortable and pleasant to help inhabitants to enjoy themselves_

_10. semester _ final design

_location: Csobáncz, Balaton, Hungary

_consultant: Tamás Mezős
Department of History of Architecture and Monument Preservation

_revitalization and partial reconstruction of Csobancz’s historical area _  the ruins of Csobáncz’s Castle are ones of the finest showpieces near Lake Balaton _ both the landscape and the area carry the nearly individual perfect combinations of historical, natural, and geological values _ furthermore, the residents of this region represent almost inimitable principles with their responsible, persistent, and caring behavior for the ruins and the history of Csobáncz

_as a preparation to the designing process the area was searched physically (more site visits, taking pictures on and above the terrain), and historically (history and research history) _ moreover, the current situation and the imaginations for the future were asked from the enthusiastic, supportive and thoughtful citizens _ these information and experiences were considered and accommodated_

_the final design includes the whole historical area of Csobáncz which means the ruins of the Castle at the top of the hill and with 100 meters below the only remaining piece of Csobáncz’s town, a church called as Rossztemplom_

_the final design is attempting to solve the partial mass reconstruction of the castle’s ruins – to partially complete it with light, soft and sensitive elements and the feeling of reversibility yet conserve and present the current conditions _ in addition, the environment of Rossztemplom is renewed and provided with the necessary equipment of contemporary demands_
