According to UIA, the International Union of Architects significance and responsibilities of architectural design continuously grow as the challenges are more and more intense worldwide, which shows an ever extending role of architects in improving the standards of living. UIA heralds that the achievements of architecture are powerful and have the capacity to provide safety for everyone, besides being unprejudiced and unbiased, efficient and available for everybody. Architecture is able to tackle contemporary issues, especially the tasks involved in climate change. As a tradition for a few years now, the Association of Hungarian Architects has organised a variety of events for this year’s World Architecture Day including discussions, exhibitions, awards ceremony, and an evening concert to finish the day in the architects’ centre of architects. On the World Architecture Day, the Budapest Architects’ Chamber handed over its prizes as well as the commemoration medal for Hungarian Architecture.
