The SZEnavis Concrete canoe team enriches its concrete canoe exhibition at the Kiskörős Road History Museum by further donating it with new elements. The students of Széchenyi István University created and endowed the existing exhibition with special modern designed furniture made from concrete. As part of the permanent exhibition the concrete chairs and benches – beside the previously exhibited concrete canoe of Győr – have been placed in their permanent location within the museum, where they as an independent display, of the mun communicate the possibilities of the concrete technology to all visitors.
One of the oldest student racing teams of Széchenyi István University, SZEnavis have designed and created a canoe out of concrete that resulted with a gold medal from the concrete canoe cup in Delft. The team with a past more than a decade long, was able to cross again another milestone this past year with its expansion of the permanent exhibition to the collection of the Kiskőrös Road History Museum..
“We handed over hexagonal, solid concrete chairs and benches made of concrete to the institution. These complement well our canoe which was given to the Kiskőrös institution in 2013 where they made a separate independent display within their collection. Furthermore, the new objects of the exhibit serve a practical purpose since the visitors can use them” – András Pollák, the former founder of SZEnavis explained to us.
The new concrete furnishings have been resting in the workshop of SZEnavis until now, however they’ve found their final home at the Kiskőrös Road History Museum in. The relationship between the Széchenyi University and the museum goes back a long time with this as only the latest chapter where the institution has included in its collection an expanded permanent exhibit of the works by the students from Győr.
“It is with our great pleasure that these concrete fixtures made by the students have been placed to their right worthy spot. The new exhibit objects exemplify that as engineers we need to look at technologies creatively and in such our team has proven that concrete can be used to build anything, even a canoe” – said Dr. Horváth Balázs, the dean of the Faculty of Architecture, Construction and Transportation Engineering at Széchenyi István University. “We are proud of our students and we thank the Kiskőrös Road History Museum for offering a permanent place for us” – he added.
