Budapest Summer School pt.2

It was an intensive, yet enjoyable couple of weeks on the Budapest Corvinus Summer School. The first week was spent traveling to various Hungarian landscapes and participating in workshops and lectures. This orientated us within the approach of Hungarian landscape design and the cultural landscape uses that the climate allows.



The second week focused on the project area, Normafa, which has a complex and unique history, and variety of historical and current leisure uses. This allowed a design process of arranging facilities/uses and making visible the historical layers of the site to ease orientation and use, this was invaluable to my experience of landscape design, which had previously focused on creating new uses for existing sites. It was refreshing to engage with a multinational team and understand the different approaches of each landscape school as well as that of Corvinus, gaining new ideas, techniques and friends.
