Garden of Communities

 

The Garden of Communities is an artwork that celebrates the rich culture of the Veszprém-Balaton region. The pavilion is a symbolic monument to the cooperation of the 116 municipalities participating in the Veszprém-Balaton 2023 European Capital of Culture program.

 
 

For each municipality participating, we have designed a unique planter box, with its name clearly displayed on the side, containing a sapling. The Garden of Communities were built of 116 planters In Veszprém - symbolizing the unity and cooperation if the municipalities

 
 
 
 

The uniquely shaped planters create a spectacular exhibition space, accessible to anyone. The contrast between the geometric architectural forms and the lush vegetation creates a magical atmosphere, attracting visitors who can wander around the pavilion and browse through the names of the villages or cities that hold dear memories for them.
