A sinuous roof that merges with the lush vegetation of the historic Városliget crowns an exhibition center devoted to the rich musical tradition – cultivated and popular – of the Magyar country.
The undulating disk of the roof, perforated in an irregular pattern and covered on the underside by a foliage-inspired ceiling, filters natural light and recreates an undergrowth environment sheltered by trees.
The program, which includes concert halls and classrooms, is distributed in three layers: a ground level where the larger rooms are located, an open-plan floor in continuity with the park, and the passable roof.
