In the lives of the two intellectual greats, Károly Kós and Imre Makovecz, in their extraordinarily powerful creative behaviour, in the driving forces of their architecture and in their role in the interests of progressive socio-artistic-cultural unity, countless parallels and points of intersection emerge. Their sense of proportion, their abundance of talent, their bonds, their vision of the world, their openness of interest, their responsible discipline and their essentialist personality have combined to shape their radiant, indelible creative personalities amid the trials and tribulations of the 20th century.
