The Budapest100 program, running from May 9-12, 2024, will showcase the diverse heritage of architecture of the 1970s, and launch a debate on its appreciation and possible future, writes Turizmus.com.
In 2024, the Budapest100 program will explore the heritage of the 1970s, looking at the values and possible futures of the houses built then. While the public often views this period negatively and with preconceptions, there is a growing number of international projects that focus on the values of late modern architecture and heritage in the Central European region. The program, which is one of the highlights of the “Season of Modernism” of the Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Center (KÉK), will also join these efforts.
The age of the celebrated houses provides a special opportunity to share the personal stories of so many architects, designers, builders, residents, and institutional workers
who were present at the “birth” of the buildings, which can provide a very close perspective on these houses and shape the collective thinking about the era,” says Budapest100.
The list of houses will be extended until January, and already includes sites such as the József Gruber water reservoir in Gellért Hill, the Izzó housing estate in the fourth district, the Soroksár outpatient clinic, the former Domus department store, and the modern All Saints Parish Church in Farkasrét.
From May 11-12, 2024, the buildings of the era will be on display, from housing estates and leisure centers, to iconic sites of commerce of the time.
Those interested can also explore how a house, street, or neighborhood has changed and how its fate is evolving along with the communities that lived there then and now.
