House of Hungarian Music is winner of prestigious Music Cities Awards

The ongoing investment in Budapest’s City Park was awarded not only for its environmentally friendly design, but also for the opportunities the investment will provide to improve the Hungarian music scene through exhibitions, concerts, and education, reports Nullahategy.

Music Cities is a series of events established by the most important international figures of the music industry to promote economic, social, environmental and cultural development in cities and places all around the world. At this year’s award ceremony, which took place on 23rd September, candidates were awarded in nine categories.

Great news for the Hungarian communities is that this year’s gold medal in the category “Best Use Of Music In Property Development/Real Estate” was received by the House of Hungarian Music, an ongoing investment project at Városliget (City Park) in Budapest. According to Benedek Gyorgyevics, CEO of investment company Városliget Zrt.,

the project received acknowledgement for the environmentally friendly design by Japanese architect Fujimoto Sou and his Hungarian partner M-Teampannon, and for the action scheme developed by professor András Batta’s expert group.

Besides the aspects concerning real estate development, the jury also looked at how the candidate projects could contribute, through music, to community life in urban areas. In the case of House of Hungarian Music,

aesthetic experience received just as much acknowledgment as the prospects for future exhibitions, concerts, and education.

According to Gyorgyevics, construction of the House of Hungarian Music is at an advanced stage, where “the most spectacular phases are near to being completed”. The building will feature many exciting elements, such as a façade made of 13-metre tall glass elements, and a roof structure of extraordinary shape.

The construction of the House of Hungarian Music is part of Liget Budapest, a grand urban development project that has already won several other awards in previous years, including that of the International Property Awards; earlier this year, for example, the renovated Museum of Fine Arts received the Europa Nostra Award. The inauguration of the House of Hungarian Music is planned for the end of 2021.
