Museum Landscape: Landscape Architecture as a Strategy for Urbanizing Budapest's City Park

摘要

The global phenomenon of environmental movement is reflected on the architecture trend, leading a creation of an urban fabric to be more integrated to the city, being energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The development of an urban tissue becomes a reflection of the city's works, linking the whole nation as the part of the mother earth. Budapest as the capital city of Hungary seeks for a solution in revitalizing its city parks, linking the existing green field to its surrounding mature fabrics, conserving its role as a truly public space while at the same time applying greener design for its museums. An urban design approach is needed to integrate their grains and stitching its fragmentation by combining the marriage between building and its nature. A landscape architecture is offered as an alternative, a hybrid between solid and void as a representation between architecture and its city. However, a new redefinition of landscape architecture needs to be questioned in order to achieve profound development of landscape architecture as a concept. A typological investigation is used as a method to reveal qualitative value by comparing historical investigation and study cases. Through history, museum transformation is presented as a reference for museum landscape, revealing the naked truth where its hybridity has been implemented for extending the boundaries of architecture.
