Európa építészetpolitikája formálódik a napokban Budapesten. Az EFAP (Európai Építészetpolitikai Fórum) május 4-7. között az Újvárosházán tartotta esedékes konferenciáját, melynek célja a közigazgatás, az építész szakma, a kultúra és az oktatás közötti párbeszéd folyamatos fenntartása. „Kultúránk egyik megtestesítője, az építészet veszélyben van…
What is (good) contemporaray art like? It is up-to-date, innovative, provoking and intellectual in . Pushes the limits of styles and genres further on. Treats its audience as a partner, and is not reluctant to entertain people. And what does it take to make a good art gallery? To flood its old rooms and artistic public life prone to getting stuffy with fresh air.
Founded in Spain in 1592 by Saint Joseph Calasanctius, the Piarist order had its Hungarian convent established in 1717 on the motion of the council of the city of Pest in a small building right next to the city hall. Their second home here was in a corner building in the area bordered by today’s Galamb and Régiposta Streets and the Danube bank…
It is a rare occasion where the profession of developers is offered a place to have their voice heard in architectural periodicals. This phenomenon is in sharp contrast with the fact that in Budapest, for example, some building contractors have already invested just as much money in city development projects since the change of the political system…
There is hardly any old picture postcard of Paks from which the oversized Neo-Classicist elevation of Hotel Erzsébet built on the axis of the main street is missing. It is not the only reason why the building has grown into an iconic one of the town: as a relic of the early phase of the rise of the middle class it has preserved its original function for…
Instead of walls the elevations of RAM Cultural Centre appear more like papercuts: a series of bands of paper into which a design of openings was cut. The lack of traditional sections and the unusual proportions resulted in an abstract kind of spatial plastic art work. The playful mood of its designers is reflected in both the forms of the building and the UFO-like…
The building does not reveal its identity at first glance: it is featured by crystallized, white wall surfaces, grey steel window frames and large expanses of glass. It is only the recessed colour elevations, the cut-off corners and the wall surfaces meeting at an obtuse angle that make the mass of the building appear more dynamic.
László Kalmár and Zsolt Zsuffa attempted a formidable task when designing and constructing their glass palace right in the heart of Hévíz referred to now as the Beauty Centre. It is an euphemism of me to say that the urban structure, development and streetscapes of Hévíz are eclectic in style. Owing to prospering medical tourism…
The extension of the school in Zánka is worth analyzing from three aspects at least, concerning the relationship between the designer and the location in the narrower or wider sense of the word. András Krizsán was brought up in the vicinity and has been working here as a designer-architect for more than two decades now.
