INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS Dutch-Catalan-Hungarian Seminar The National Office of Cultural Heritage has organised a Seminar on „Public Space Enhancement and Urban Landscape Design, Contemporary Architecture and Design in Historic Environment" at the beginning of November. Three Dutch, one Catalan and 22 Hungarian presenters gave a broad overview of the central theme in The Netherlands, Barcelona, which is the emblematic city of public space redesign and Hungary. We could hear about the main projects and the newly redesigned squares along the new metroline in Budapest, but we could see examples also from Szeged, Pécs, Győr and Nagymaros. A small exhibition was also presented to illustrate the Hungarian projects. The venue: the Barabás Villa itself was a perfect case-study of the Seminar. Beyond the refurbished historic building there are contemporary extensions and the former garden is a redesigned public space for the citizens.
