K\u00e1roly K\u00f3s (1883\u20131977) was an architect whose wide-ranging architectural activities spanned much of the 20th century and many of its history-making periods. At the beginning of his career, before the First World War, as a leading figure of the so-called ‘Young Ones’, he created several masterpieces of Hungarian architecture (the pavilions of the Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden, the Roman Catholic Church in Zebeg\u00e9ny, the Szekler National Museum in Sf\u00e2ntu Gheorghe), and later built a home for himself and his family in Stan\u00e1, in the Kalotaszeg region of Transylvania. Simply known as Crow Castle, his house is now a place of pilgrimage.
\nThe works in this exceptionally rich oeuvre show that K\u00e1roly K\u00f3s’ vision of landscape and settlement is in fact a relationship between nature and humankind. His work is an artistic expression of one of the last experiments in craftsmanship at the beginning of the 20th century. K\u00f3s warns us that nature and humanity do not exist in separate worlds but are an integral part of the universe which can only be maintained by respecting nature.<\/p>\n
