Hand to hand

Walking around Batthyány Square, we suddenly stumble upon a strange structure in the urban fabric. On the corner of Gyorskocsi and Batthyány Streets stands the former service building of the Technical Library, designed by Zsófia Csomay in 1974. The building once filled with bustling, noisy industrial functions has quieted down over the years and eventually fell silent. In the imagined future of the building, it gives home to an item library, where the city's residents can share a wide range of objects. The building also houses community spaces and urban workshops, where visitors can access larger and less common machines. The main tool for design became deconstruction. By cutting openings between the floors of the item-library and opening a garden towards the back of the house, new spatial qualities are created for the new function. My diploma focuses on the spatial fulfilment of the hand-to-hand transfer of buildings, various objects, as well as the knowledge associated with them.
