Either solution we choose, the new Hatvan Handball Hall designed by Architects Marcel Ferencz és György Détári is standing in front of us as a moment captured during a course of a process.

Design: Foldes Architects

‘Instead of the straight translation of the brief, such as creating a volcano shaped museum building, we wanted to capture the true substance of the location. According to our concept, the raw materials, the homogeneous grey of the concrete, the lava inspired colour of the corten steel, and the flue-like arrangement of the space, deliver the spirit and essence of a volcano’.

Hotel Balneum, Tiszafüred, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county, central Hungary
Ferdinand and Ferdinand Architects
The buildings mass and the scale of certain architectural elements, as well as the proportions of these elements are based on local traditions, however this is not a mechanical copy of traditional folk architecture, rather a way of concipiation, which shall by no means mitigate the contemporary tone. The entire complex is permeated by the traditional local spirit.
