Along its banks lie inspiring but often neglected spaces, waiting to be reimagined as places of community, culture, and connection.Our guests are members of Valyo, a collective of architects, urbanists, geographers, and artists working to redefine how Budapest engages with its river. With them, we\u2019ll explore how art, activism, and design can open up the Danube to people again, transforming its banks into vibrant public spaces for leisure, culture, and dialogue.We\u2019ll talk about how Valyo uses artistic interventions, temporary installations, and community-driven projects to draw attention to the hidden potential of riverside spaces. We\u2019ll also look at their proposals for long-term change, and how rethinking public space along the Danube can inspire new models of urban living, civic participation, and cultural identity.And finally, we\u2019ll ask: what does it mean for a city to reclaim its river? How can collective action and design reshape urban life, not just in Budapest, but in cities everywhere grappling with inaccessible waterfronts?Joining us are Loh\u00e1sz Cili and Samu Fazekas from Valyo, to share their vision for a more open, inclusive, and connected city.\u2728 Proudly sponsored by GRAPHISOFT Register to unlock all conference presentations:https:\/\/web.graphisoft.com\/IGNITE-Conference-2025-WOD_registration-en.html?utm_campaign=Events_Sfera_eng&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=sferaShownotesValyo, Budapest https:\/\/valyo.hu\/en\/Swimming in the Danube, a DW documentary https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a4eg-FNv4LQCREATIVE TEAM:Authors: arch.
