POST MORTEM

This is the first Na­ti­o­nal Salon at the Mű­csar­nok with a sec­ti­on pay­ing tri­bu­te to ar­chi­tects who pas­sed away in the five years that pas­sed since the last Na­ti­o­nal Salon ex­hi­bit­ion. The ar­chi­tects bri­efly evo­ked ihad not so long ago still pla­yed an ac­tive part in sha­ping Hun­ga­ri­an ar­chi­tec­tu­ral cul­tu­re, and they are bit­terly mis­sed in the day-to-day re­a­lity of the pro­fes­si­on. Bes­ides them, ar­chi­tec­tu­ral writers, edi­tors of pe­ri­o­di­cals, film di­rec­tors and tea­chers whose oeuvres en­ri­ched con­tem­por­ary Hun­ga­ri­an ar­chi­tec­tu­re are also com­me­mo­ra­ted.

A spec­ta­cu­lar vi­su­al ele­ment at the 1st Na­ti­o­nal Salon of Ar­chi­tec­tu­re (2014) was the Tree of Hun­ga­ri­an Ar­chi­tects, which paid tri­bu­te to 120 pro­mi­nent ar­chi­tects of Hun­ga­ri­an ar­chi­tec­tu­ral his­to­ry span­ning from 1750 to 1950. The me­mo­ri­al co­lumn con­ta­ined the name of each ar­chi­tect and a high­ligh­ted work by him or her. This ins­tal­la­ti­on can be seen at this year’s Na­ti­o­nal Salon of Ar­chi­tec­tu­re too but ex­ten­ded with the names and a work each by Hun­ga­ri­an ar­chi­tects who pas­sed away bet­ween 1950 and 2014, and ex­er­ted a major im­pact on 20th-cent­ury Hun­ga­ri­an ar­chi­tec­tu­re, not least upon the ge­ne­ra­ti­on of ar­chi­tects ac­tive today.
