Angels & Architecture celebrates the 90^th anniversary of Imre Makovecz (1935–2011). The exhibition is an exploration in drawings, sound, original film and music, models and photographs of the spirit, beliefs, imagination and buildings of this special Hungarian architect. Makovecz’s buildings are angels of a kind, too, sheltering us while connecting us through wings of inspiration from the earth below and the ground we stand on to the sky above and dimensions beyond. Rich in symbolism at every turn of their design and construction process, Makovecz’s buildings draw from a rich variety of sources, yet they are very much products of his imagination and the skill of his many collaborators over the years.

The aim of this exhibition, commissioned and produced by the Imre Makovecz Foundation, has been to evoke the spirit of Makovecz’s architecture and of the mind and soul of the man himself.
