Inspired by the spirit of the place and our time, the first prize winning concept by SAGRA Architects creates a place that is rooted in the original structure of the square but still up-to date. Aiming to strengthen the connections of the square to its surroundings, their main ambitions were to balance the historical and modern elements and connect the existing and new elements of the square in harmony. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Strengthening of the public functions was one of our main aims in order to fill the square with life. After the designed reconstruction, the square will become the public center of its surroundings and the local inhabitants.The northern part of the square designed by Béla Rerrich in 1929 will be reconstructed according to the original plans. In the axis of the Reformed Church and the school we suggested paved walkways to connect the old and new, the contemporary and historical parts of the square organically.
