CNN lists Hungarian building among the most anticipated buildings of the year
Change language:
Possibly, there is no other cultural branch that has given more famous Hungarians to the word than music. In the universal language of music, many Hungarian composers and performers created something special, among which we can mention Ferenc Liszt, Béla Bartók, or Zoltán Kodály. Still, there is no place in Hungary where we could discover the legacy of Hungarian music as part of the universal history of music. At least there has been no such place, until this year.
The House of Hungarian Music wishes to fill this hole and act as a real community area and meeting point in the life of Hungarian music. It will provide a possibility to learn about music while having fun, with the help of concert halls, exhibition halls, and educational spaces. The design and the function of the building are considered a marvellous opportunity not only in Hungary but on the other side of the ocean as well. On the first day of January, CNN issued its article/list containing the most interesting and transformative buildings that are set to shape the world in 2021. The list, which contains 8 innovative buildings from New York to Taipei, is quite compelling, making it a huge honour for the House of Hungarian Music to be included among the most anticipated designs.
It will be built next to the lake in Városliget, in the proximity of the ice-skating rink and the Castle of Vajdahunyad, in the place of the already demolished offices of the old Hungexpo.
