ARPAD GÖNZ CITY CENTRE is located close to the station of the Metro Line 3 in North of Budapest. The area has several high commercial, residential and governmental buildings.
CURRENT SITUATION
The site of study is next to an existing new park called Visafogo park. The existing place is currently a space for parking lots which separates the commercial and high buildings zone with very modern style with the residencial zone with smaller buildings but also with the style of the sovietic design and more industrial. surroundings
ARPAD GÖNZ CITY CENTER
PROPOSAL
First: Unify the existing park with the proposal in order to created one only green element or the site.
Second: Creating connection and an harmonic place or both strong type users: residencial and commercial citizens.
For that reason some interaction points have been created in the park or the dierent users: Residence: ornamental, community garden and playgorund and dog area. On the other hand, the ornamenta garden, the lake, relaxing spaces or workers.
Third: In order to replace the existing parking lots, an underground parking lots which a tunnel to connect the streets of the residential zone with the commercial one plus, to provide spaces for the car for all users Latter: creating green connection with the rest o the neighborhhood through green lines around the pro posal but also, green lines which guide the rest of the streets toward the park.
The school, located in the Kaszásdűlő neighborhood in Buda side of Budapest, Hungary.
Its location benefits from a blend of cultural and industrial surroundings. Positive features include shaded meeting points surrounded by vegetation, an existing green barrier for user protection, elevated topography providing viewpoints, and ample space for children's activities. However, challenges arise from a narrow, unguided pathway at the entrance, noise from the nearby crowded Huszti street, lack of shade due to asphalt dominance, underutilized areas such as the sports area and sandboxes, water accumulation in the playground due to topography, and a mixed-use parking lot area.
SCHOOL YARD DESIGN PROJECT
Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Primary School
CONCEPT:
By categorizing activities based on age appropriateness and introducing designated spaces for each one, the primary school's open space transforms into a dynamic, inclusive, and purposeful environment that supports the distinct needs of different age groups while also creating some zones for interaction among students. The spaces look for encouraging the curiosity of children though colorful and dynamic spaces of interaction.
In the landscape development plant, it can be seen that new spaces and functions are proposed. Colorful entrance will boost the attraction of the courtyard. The gathering area was necessary and significant since the high amount of the children will first enter that space and than spread to the other areas. Division of the playground of the children provides its users with proper sized and functional elements showing the fact that each age group has their own specific needs and proportions. In addition, proposed sport fields have more greenery than they used to have so as to reduce the radiation and provide shade to the area. Finally, old parking lot’s size reduced and an outdoor classroom pavilon is proposed. Thus, the area has become useful for the school. Additionally, entrance of the school enlarged. Such a change offers freedom to “kiss and go” activity, and It reduces the congestion at check-in and check-out times. Last but not least, teachers are part of the school community too, and the hilly area near the pool was redesigned according to relaxation activities.
Tata, located in northwest Hungary about 70 kilometers from Budapest, boasts a scenic setting surrounded by the Gerecse Mountains and the Old Lake. Known for its well-preserved historic architecture and charming town center, the city attracts tourists. Our study area, anchored by the existing castle, hosts various citizen activities and is well-connected to the city center and main junctions via public transportation and roads, supplemented by options like the minitrain and rental bikes. Initial observations reveal rich vegetation near the artificial lake, although views of the lake are often obstructed. The area is bordered by the Altal Creek, feeding into the Oreg Lake, with vegetation density decreasing towards the lake. The diverse flora and fauna, under Ramsar, Natura 2000, and local protection, include migratory geese near our site. An existing trail encircles the lake, linking tourist spots like the castle and beach, though visitors currently lack access to our design site. Despite potential for tourism due to water and vegetation proximity, improvement areas include entrances, maintenance, and viewpoints.
PROPOSAL:
Based on thorough analysis and municipal expectations, our proposed intervention aims to enhance water quality, attract tourism, and foster environmental education through three focal points. Firstly, we will establish an educational trail featuring activities to enhance contact with nature while improving the water system to create an interactive area for visitors and nature alike. This design involves dividing the original lake into two distinct areas: one more open, continuing the artificial lake for canoe exploration, and a second area utilizing existing terrain for visitor interaction with water and vegetative islands, guided by locks connecting existing creeks and the lake to the new area.

The important vegetation will be kept while new vegetation, marshland, and reed areas, will create a contrast between existing giant trees and new growth. Close to built elements, exotic species would be integrated with native, highly ornamental characteristics. The functional area includes a main entrance leading to lakeside activities like contemplation, exploration, and play, while the island area offers a more natural setting, concluding with an inviting exit visible from around the current lake.
Circulation within the site will be facilitated by two systems: a pedestrian network along a boardwalk to allow nature to flow alongside visitors, and a more elevated area for contemplation amidst the forest. Additionally, a canoe route with docking points and wood raft trips will offer diverse water-based experiences for visitors, completing our holistic approach to site enhancement.
