Our task was to understand the difficulties of cultural identity in rural Hungary and find the key problem and create a solution concept

My concept app connects individuals eager to learn traditional methods with skilled professionals who can guide them.

Lack of skilled proffesionals

While traditional building methods can be mastered relatively easily, involving professionals is mandatory to meet legal requirements like obtaining building permits.

No strong community

One of the causes of outmigration from rural areas to cities is the degrading community

No Data collection of heritage buildings

The Kamara penalizes architects for not following the rules, yet it fails to provide support when they have questions. Additionally, there is no heritage database to guide professionals.

Missing legal framework

The traditional practice of Kaláka(community-based cooperative work) lacks formal recognition in modern legal frameworks

I spent a week in My Grandfathers's house (Nagyapám háza) program where I renovated traditional adobe house in rural Hungary with other volunteers. Under this week I learned about the benefits and limits of this method and connected with people and professionals.
