Interview with Architect Tamás Karácsony

Text: Imre Erdős

How does an architect’s language of forms develop, and how can it become a model for others? In this new series of interviews, the author talks to contemporary architects about design, inspiration, and the possibilities for passing on architectural thinking. The aim here is to get closer to the process by which memory, collaboration, and the use of models mature into a unique signature. In the first interview, Imre Erdős talks to architect Tamás Karácsony about his career, his approach to design as such, as well as the challenges of architecture. The interview provides insights into the world of a thoughtful architect through the use of precedents, the master-apprentice relationship, and the issues of imitation and originality.
