Béla Lajta 150 - Fates of Budapest Buildings

Curator: Tamás Csáki

In the year of the unification of the city, Béla Lajta was born in Pest. In 1914, contemporary art critic Pál Nádai wrote a study titled On a Modern City Builder about him. And indeed, he was the architect of Budapest, which, by the early 20th century, had taken on the image of a global metropolis. Not only because most of his major works are located in Budapest, but also because he sought to shape the modern and self-aware architectural identity of the Hungarian capital as it matured culturally.
