    ’Contemporary Architectural Offices’ is a theoretical course about contemporary Hungarian architecture. Guest lecturer Hungarian architects take lectures and site visits week by week from new buildings.

    The aim of Contemporary Architectural Offices course is twofold. On the one hand, it intends to complete practical experience in university architectural education, on the other hand, would like to draw attention to the importance of architectural criticism, which is essential part of professional architectural practice.

    For these purposes, during the semester, week by week we invite a well-known Hungarian architect / office as guest lecturer to presents its practice, plans and buildings in the form of a lecture or a site visit.
