Landscape Restoration Center Part 2 Project 2020 Hunor Albert Szántó Budapest University of Technology and Economics | Hungary Our environment is changing. The reasons behind this fact are almost the same all around the world, even though the landscapes are quite different. The project aims to determine, and solve the problems of hungarian grasslands. The site is situated in a national park of Hungary, called Kiskunsági Nemzeti Park, which was founded in 1975. The closest village, Bugac, has the population of 2580. Fifty years ago the number was 4980. In line with that, the number of farms decreased by half. Grazing disappeared, the bond between human and nature has broken up. Climate change and the forced economy of socialism have caused serious amounts of damage. In 2012, the landscape of the national park was almost completely devastated by an extended wildfire. In this case, architecture is nothing more than means of intervention. The recyclable and natural building materials allow it to become part of the landscape again, after fulfilling its purpose. This is a place where we can recreate nature, although at some point nature is going to be self-sustaining again. The inner garden and the one beyond the wall will be the same, and the wall between them will not exist anymore. Hunor Albert Szántó Tutor(s) Miklós Vannay
