Visiting a library can still be a deeply meaningful experience today. It offers a calm refuge that feels genuinely liberating amid our overstimulated, notification-driven, algorithm-controlled daily lives. In a library, people are not led by “personalized recommendations” but are free to wander—both among the shelves and within the worlds shaped by their own thoughts. At the same time, the modern library is far more than a collection of books. It is an inviting community space,...

For centuries, the playfully meandering Mura River has not only traced one of the most whimsical borders between Hungary and Croatia, but also shaped a natural environment that is among the country’s most valuable in terms of both soil quality and biodiversity. Over time, however, human activity put this delicate balance at risk—calling for responsible intervention. Flowing along the southwestern edge of Zala County, the river once created and reshaped sandbanks, oxbow lakes, and islands...

The project created an 824-meter modern roadway featuring widened junctions, a combined bicycle and pedestrian path, and two bus stops. A...
