MA Study Tour in Budapest

MA Landscape Architecture and Garden Design students went to Budapest between 8th-12th March 2017 for our study tour. Our tour started with a guided site visit at the Danube River Embankment  by the Landscape Architect Istvan Steffler who designed the Lagymanyosi Bay Revitalization Waterfront Park. Istvan explained us the history of the Danube embankment and the recent park development in the post-industrial era of Budapest. The designed park became a destination of recreation  for families who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, especially in summer months to enjoy the cool and peaceful atmosphere along the River Danube.

Another fascinating guided tour was with Landscape Architect Peter Balogh who explained us the Parliament Square contemporary design concept. We explored the urbanscape through a series of public spaces and architecture interlinked in the socio-political history of the city.
