Future of a castle
Gyalu, Romania
2016
Interdisciplinary teams developed future scenarios for the reconstruction of the Rákóczi-Bánffy castle which was built in the 15th century.
The challenge we worked on
As part of the Castle in Transylvania program that aims at undertaking the necessary preventive interventions to maintain the status quo and the revitalization of castles and manors Holis was invited to rethink the functions of the Rákóczi-Bánffy castle.
What are the results
The future scenarios and development plans were used by the owner of the castle to apply for a grant in order to get funding for the reconstruction.
