The project is part of one of the country’s most significant industrial heritage sites – the former Northern Vehicle Repair – and was designed by an international design team. The building was designed by the world-famous architectural firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro, with M-Teampannon Kft. as the Hungarian partner. Our office assisted the international landscape architects (Gross MAX Ltd.) in the preparation of the permit and construction plans. Our goal is to provide a unique landscape experience by transforming a former brownfield area into a new, robust post-industrial environment. As an extension of the museum’s interior spaces, an accessible, extensive outdoor exhibition will be created, featuring an inspiring dialogue between man-made and natural elements juxtaposed, and the garden will also play an educational role through both the vegetation and the artefacts on display. In the surroundings of the new museum, a mosaic of different native plant communities will be displayed, representing Hungary’s rich diversity plant communities.

The diverse vegetation in the revitalised brownfield area can have a positive impact on the wider environment as a “diaspora” of biodiversity. The central feature of the garden, the multifunctional Event plaza, can be used as a venue for a variety of events. The complex combination of different plant surfaces, exhibits and paved surfaces creates a sense of intimacy, while offering exhibition areas and a variety of seasonal programmes. The site is already of strategic importance in terms of urban structure, and its role will be further enhanced by the new railway station. The garden and Népliget have an important green network connection, which will be further strengthened by a green pedestrian axis in the future.
