Academy Park

Academy Park is one of the last yet unbuilt green areas, waiting for urban development in the inner city of Budapest. In this unique situation such an investment can be exemplary, and can show us the direction for decades in which environment we imagine our future.

Thoughts regarding the Academy Park idea competition

Participating in an idea competition is a thankless role. In the best case, the energy invested in planning, conceptualization and development ends with an award, since the tenderer does not undertake to continue, and there is no guarantee for further planning even in the case of a successful application. What motivates one (or in our case 15) local architectural studios to participate in such a competition?

The Akadémia Park area is unique within Budapest. Searching for an answer to such a question - how to develop our city - and giving an opinion is an extremely exciting task. For us, this competition is a summary of ideas that have determined the internal dialogues of the studio in recent years.

Our plan was subtitled 'Questions of sustainable urban architecture in Academy Park'. Dealing with sustainability is now a mandatory cliché. Nevertheless, we considered it relevant to explore an approach where these aspects play a decisive role at all levels of planning. From the scale, through the functional program, architectural appearance, environmental planning, existing environment to mechanical engineering and material use solutions.

The key to environmentally conscious design is knowing our environment. The plan cannot therefore be separated from its context, it cannot be interpreted without it. In addition to the physical and historical environment, the spiritual and wider urban environment, international urban construction trends, passive engineering trends, ideas of value preservation and recycling, artistic compositions and conscious water management, landscape and wildlife rehabilitation principles and community-building tools shaped the architectural and landscape architecture proposal. The created material is a snapshot of a process, which helps reflection and lays the foundation for further thinking.
