The Documentation Centre of Historic Buildings Protection of the Museum of Hungarian Architecture, and the Municipal Archives of Budapest started a cooperation in January 2020 to organise a memorial exhibition on the 170th anniversary of architect Győző Czigler’s birth and 115th anniversary of his death. Both institutions were overjoyed when the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and the Miklós Ybl Architecture Faculty of Óbuda University accepted the cooperation offered to them, As a result, students of architecture contributed with their models to the stock of the exhibited materials. Curators found seven buildings for this task, and the universities were offered access to the digitised designs and plans found in their collections.
