The Orthodox synagogue in Paprét in Sopron is a heritage building with a troubled past. The building in the city centre is in a pitiful condition, it is rarely and only symbolically used. This building deserves better: in my plan I seek alternatives for its revitalisation so that it can become a part of the city’s life again. With moving the city library here, which has been at a temporary venue for decades, I think the synagogue could be revitalised and renovated for permanent use in a fitting way. The former prayer hall of the synagogue can become a community space again, while service functions and functions that support operation are placed in a new building. As the plot is opened up, a space is created that is connected to the adjacent public park. With its softer forms, the new building “embraces” and highlights the synagogue, providing a frame for it and for the newly created space – sometimes as an awning or a fence, and sometimes as a building. The offices of the institution are on the ground floor and so is the main entrance of the library. The synagogue becomes an urban community lounge open to the public, where various activities can be pursued. The upper floor and the mezzanine house the reading rooms and research spaces. Paprét will probably be renewed and turned into a public park in the future, so the synagogue, as a library and an urban community lounge, can become a part of the city’s life again.
