Salgótarján2070 – Studio Works – Urban Planning and Design 2

The focus of the Urban Planning and Design 2 course was the future visions of Salgótarján.

Based on online databases, maps and documents, we analyzed the city’s economy, built environment, natural endowments, social stratification and transport infrastructure, and then outlined various visions of the 2070 state of the city. At the Salgótarján2070 public participation event we made dialogues with the citizens to bring the scenarios closer to the wishes of the locals. Based on the multiplatform alayzes the students made suggestions for the development of the city center.

Salgótarján2070 – Public participation – Urban Planning and Design 2

The aim of the public participation in Salgótarján – within the framework of Urban Planning and Design 2 – was to introduce this method to students, so their personal experiences with the citizens could be incorporated into their plans. In this case the event was mainly done on a “voluntary initiative” (not on behalf of the Municipality), but UFLab was also intended to draw the attention of the Municipality to the possibilities of public participation and to provide them development ideas. At the so called “Salgótarján2070” event we were interested in the opinions of the locals about the current problems of the city and their future development ideas. The applied tools of the public participation were developed by the student groups and the participants received temporary “Salgótarján2070” tattoos as gifts.

You can see the final future city plans of the students here.

How does an architect play? – Public/Space Month 2019 – Exhibition in Budaörs

Gamification was the topic of the PUBLIC / SPACE MONTH 2019 program series in Budaörs – organized by Húsznegyven Association  –, where UFLab was one of the invited exhibition partners. At the “How does an architect play? / playHOUSE” exhibition we displayed two gamified tools of the UFLab Workshop, which we usually apply during public participation events or research projects.

The URBAN 3D DIAGRAM is a wood installation and it has helped to improve the dialogue between local residents, architects, NGOs and municipality officers in several times. By this gamified tool participants can vote on the current proposals by throwing a ball of the appropriate color, so the balls can show the current result – as a spatial graph – in real time. The proposals are always shown on the information boards, which hang on the side of the installations.

As a result of the joint research work of UFLab and UCL University in London, the CITY OPINION LINE gamified tool was born, in which participants were asked about public spaces. Players were able to tell their experiences of the designated Pesterzsébet action area in a spectacular way: by choosing from two different colors of yarn – that symbolized a positive or negative feeling – and connecting specific words with them.

Pesterzsébet – Visions

The Budapest Capital XX. District Municipality requested the Department of Urban Planning and Design in the hope of student ideas that the Municipality can later incorporate into its regional development concepts. The aim of the cooperation was to map the social, housing and public space problems of the district and to make development proposals in response to them.

UFLab dealt with the action area in Erzsébetfalva in two planning courses. A total of nearly eighty students and ten instructors at the Department examined three neighborhoods of Pesterzsébet for more than half a year. From the student plans, a comprehensive study has been prepared for the Municipality and residents, which is available entirely here.

The Natural Future – Pesterzsébet – UCL research

Within the framework of the entire Pesterzsébet’s project, UFLab organized a public participation on-site event with the Complex Design Studio 1 students. Nikolett Puskás – who is a PhD student at the Institute for Global Prosperity at UCL University College London (UCL) – joined our team with her research, which focuses on various aspects of the using modes of Erzsébetfalva’s public spaces.

To facilitate the “public dialogue” we appeared at two locations simultaneously within the action area – in the Tatra Square market and on Kossuth Lajos Street, joining a local Outdoor Health and Sports Day event – and we applied gamified participatory planning tools in order to reach out to the local residents.

The opinions, suggestions and experiences gathered during the event were incorporated into the plans of the students and Nikolett also used them in her research.

Complex Design Studio 1 – Food Bank and Incubator House by Júlia Pokol

My project was a part of a teamwork concentrating on the XX. district of Budapest named Pesterzsébet. During the workshop we figured out a 5 step revitalization method that could help this part of our city to become more vivid and friendly to its inhabitants and visitors. This complex would be the third step out of the five, after the realization of a plastic recycling factory and workshop which would produce the colorful material covering its facade. 

It is a house mixing a variety of functions: the ground floor is open to all visitors to use the community kitchen, where the remaining fruits, veggies ect. from the local market could be cooked for a free dinner to the ones in need. Also it is a place for young mothers to learn the ins and outs of housekeeping. The eating place towards the graden can be transformed into a saloon for occasional local events.

On the first floor resides a spatious coworking office facing Jókai Mór street, and a learning centre at the back, where language teaching and other classes of adult education could take place.

My goal was to create a both environmentally and humanly friendly place, which recycles space, food, waste and creates a great meeting point to its visitors. – Júlia Pokol
