On October 18th the Swiss Architectural Museum based in Basel offered leeway for an international movement looking for a way out for three days. During this time a window was opened from the representative rooms of the Kunsthalle into a reality yet to take shape. The exhibition was prepared by the Hochschule Luzern Design & Kunst which presented…
In the interwar period the central power supported the character, the supposed spirituality and the architectural equivalent of the „Yugoslavian ancient race” with neo-Byzantine motifs. Massive monuments, quasi-Byzantine public buildings were erected in the age of the Bauhaus. However, in practice the western and central part of the county…
The historicizing-Art Nouveau style complex of the Gas Works in Óbuda was built in 1910-13 after designs by Károly Reichl and Albert Weisz. The single surviving building of the complex with its preserved chimney is made up of two parts of different technology of construction. The single-floor section derives from the original construction phase of the gas works…

Touching, sympathetic, loving book made by Péter Wagner and Tamás Kőnig about the thirty-eight-year they have spent together in their common architectural firm so far. No pomposity, no fuss in more than three hundred pages, which is today, in this business really exemplary.
In the tourism of Budapest the German-speaking guests have considerable weight. Many of them are architects or visual culture artists.

János egyszerre volt és maradt építészettörténeti/elméleti gurum és személyes barátom. A 70-es években kiadott egy szamizdat levél-folyóiratot ÉL címen, akkor kerültünk közel egymáshoz. Az élő építészet fogalom még nem volt definiálva…
