Exhibition by Ferenc Török in Pesti Vigadó

Text: György Szegő

The exhibition hall strictly follows the experience of sacredness one may have in experience Santo Stefano Rotondo church in Rome: that is the tension of centrality and guided space. The heart of the rectangular horizontal plan of the exhibition space in Vigadó has been turned into a central space with a polygonal „sanctuary” which follows the design pattern typical of churches by Ferenc Török. This sanctuary frame has a well-defined function: the giant-scale model of the campanile of the church in Balatonlelle is surrounded by church models. A catalogue containing the memoirs of the designer architect aged 80 has been published to accompany the exhibition.
