The National Athletics Centre in Budapest marks a significant milestone in urban regeneration and architectural innovation. Located on a former industrial site along the Danube, this transformative project revitalizes a neglected brownfield into a vibrant hub for sports, recreation, and community engagement. Designed by Marcel FERENCZ architect - NAPUR Architect Ltd. and the landscape design created by S-TÉR with several hundred pieces of furniture from VPI Concrete, the Centre is a cornerstone for connecting North Csepel to the city and fostering urban development.

VPI Concrete's innovative furniture plays a crucial role in realizing the National Athletics Centre's ambitious goals of transforming Budapest's former industrial zone into a dynamic, community-focused public space. These pieces, crafted from high performance concrete, seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetics, enhancing the user experience across the venue. With their help, the centre becomes an inviting, adaptable environment that encourages active lifestyles. They supported the venue's transformability, accommodating large sports events while seamlessly transitioning into a flexible community hub.
