The exhibition highlights four one-family houses that form a varied and fascinating entity in Aalto’s extensive output.

The Royal Institute of British Architects in the United Kingdom (RIBA) is calling for applications to the RIBA Goldfinger Scholarship. In 2010 the Scholarship offers a grant of £14,000 to a Hungarian graduate to undertake postgraduate study or a period of professional experience in the UK. The Scholarship has been offered since 1999 and is enabled through a generous donation by the family of the late architect Ernö Goldfinger.

Frigyes Kőnig’s interests are – simplified – representations of space, quasi-historical, archaic and reproductive representation, plastic representations of people. He explores basic visual problems, such as vision, proportions, different perspectives and how they alter what we see, in his works that are still autonym, and aesthetically valuable.
