On the historically and cultural important site crowded with valuable trees and greenery it was necessary to “clip in” the new Zoo entrance building in an aesthetically and functionally acceptable way. Great efforts were made for new intervention to be interesting and observed by visitors, but not predominant – to be somewhat invisible, inferior to valuable environment of the Park Forest and its contents. In fact, most of all, for

Visegrád is a thousand-year-old settlement, formerly used as royal residency, however the town today is rather rustic in terms of its scale and buildings and with its 1800 inhabitants, is considered to be the smallest town of Hungary.
