    ’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.

    The lectures and site visits are in English language.


    In the end of the semester during an oral exam every student has to make a critical presentation from one of the building which was presented in the course. The theme of the presentation will be given on the last lecture. On the 20th May 2024 there will be a consultation event according to the time schedule. The presentation should analyse the choosen building based on the author’s own point of view and opinion, plus have to compare with a similar building from the author’s home country. The final presentation has to be a scientific and theoretical architectural student lecture in maximum 6 minutes and 15 slides.
