Winners of the Hungarian ‘House of the Year’ competition – PHOTOS
Change language:
In 2020, the ’House of the Year’ competition was brought to life with the professional support of the Association of Hungarian Architects and the Chamber of Hungarian Architects. The ‘House of the Year’ competition is for architects of residential buildings and public buildings as well, but only finished buildings can be nominated. MTI notes that the competition has become the most well-known professional acknowledgement for architects in the past decade, and it attracts a wide range of competitors.
Sokszínű Vidék reported that this year, the winners of the residential house category were Boglárka Jakabfi-Kovács and Pál Gyürki-Kiss, who received the award for their detached house in Hűvösvölgy, while Csaba Nagy and his team (the Archikon: Károly Pólus, Benedek Botond, Krisztina T. Major, András Botos, Diána Chvalla, Yining Long, Eszter Mészáros) received the award in the public building category at the gala evening on Thursday, September 17, in Budapest for the renovation of the Budai Vigadó (Entertainment Hall of Buda, currently home to the Hungarian Heritage House).
In addition to the two main prizes, seven other special awards were given out, and the novelty of this year’s competition was that the audience could also vote and award one prize in each main category.
You’re having a laugh! Hungary is not noted fir its modern architecture and the pictures of those horrid, unimaginative houses shows why.
