In Memoriam Iván Bächer
1957-2013

Iván Bächer was a Hungarian writer, journalist, playwright and publicist. Bächer wrote as a critic for the Hungarian daily newspaper Népszabadság. He was not an architecture critic, although his writings were permeated by his thoughts on architecture, while he analyzed the relationship between housing and human. He also published several volumes of short stories and novellas. One of his stories was the inspiration for the television opera Bekerítve of István Láng in 1990, directed by György Molnár and became a film.
