This year saw the inauguration of the R\u00e1day House, which may be referred to as a Calvinist centre including the R\u00e1day Students\u2019 Hostel, the Faculty of Theology of K\u00e1roli G\u00e1sp\u00e1r University of the Hungarian Reformed Church, the Library and Bible Museum of the R\u00e1day Collection and the Bishop’s Office of the Calvinist Diocese of Dunamell\u00e9k. In his designs, the architect, Zolt\u00e1n Berzs\u00e1k was faithful to the building’s historical past, while at the same time specially treating the architectural layers of the building as witnesses of history. The building is an authentic imprint of history, carefully preserving the heritage of the barracks, the tobacco factory and the property boundaries that have been evolving here since the mid-18th century. The modern history of the block began with the removal of the tobacco factory, when the Calvinist Church bought the site to build a home for the R\u00e1day Collection it had purchased. Back in those days, the site was envisioned as a multifunctional building, housing a dormitory, a pastoral training centre, a museum collection and the bishop’s office. In the latter half of the 20th century, this dream was made complete and extended by a modest framework structure to enclosed the wing of the college facing the square. On its extension, the architect, Istv\u00e1n Szab\u00f3 guided students to the dormitory wing through the gate of the old building, enlarged the banqueting hall above the gate, and demolished the cupola topping the buildings as well as the ornamentation. However, he did not revise the many layers of functions that had been integrated into the building, and over the decades its use became increasingly difficult, with more and more compromises and improvised alterations. The current remodelling was designed to overcome these disharmonies. The framework of the future building was developed in co-operation with the users: their dialogue defined the relationship between the functions as well as the exterior of the building.<\/p>\n
