Contemporary Architecture in Hungary

 BMEEPETO901

The course gives an overview of Hungarian architecture from the end of the Second World War up to now. While following the timeline, the classes concentrate on the main problems of the given decades, like the question of socialist realism in the 50s, technology and high-rise in the 60s, built environment in the 70s, post-modernism in the 80s. As the problem of identity (national or regional architecture) was/is a recurrent theme through the whole period, the course pays a special attention to it. The last third of the course is devoted to recent developments and trends in Hungarian architecture.
