The municipality of Tatabánya decided to install a new market place. Naming two possiblelocations, the municipality hired five architectural designers to create the preliminary planswith the task of determining the most suitable location and designs. By this referral we weresubject to prepare a facility corresponding with the demands of the XXI. century in bothappearance and function on a 3-4 000 m2 area. The second location: the former Turul cinemaand its environment, Nagy Imre tér The location is Tatabánya’s residential center built in the1960’s. We proposed a modern design, preserving and re-evaluating the grove-like nature of the area, while trying not to contravene with the characteristics of the location. Our planconsisted of smaller market-like and articulate masses with extra care for the remaining treesand buildings that were deemed protected. We played with extending roof surfaces whenplanning the new building elements, but primarily created simple masses and building connections. After the evaluation of the plans, the reviewing committee recommended ourplans first place for further design in November, 2015. There has not yet been a proposal forcommission regarding them.
