• opened by Mátyás Varga osb

the exhibition is open until the 6th of april 2009

the exhibitors: 3h office for architecture is a group with european architectural and cultural connections, who consciously shoulders the progressive architectural behaviour. they define architecture in a wide scale: interior design and urban/environmental design are the two poles of their activities. their aim is to create an architectural language reflecting today's characteristics truly and frankly. their works are influenced either by the cultural and historical environment or by present day's entity.
the heads of 3h office for architecture are katalin csillag and zsolt gunther. their designing method is based on working together. they sign their works together since their concepts, the buildings come to life as a result of constant collective work.
the message: 3h office for architecture consciously shoulders the difference. the analitic creative methods are organically melt together with poetic and message-like elements while making a plan. their architecture reveals a new point of view: objects of their close environment inspire them, they take the very chance to build them into their works, quasi visually recycling today's hungary. this is exactly why their buildings are fixed to space and time while being declaredly different: the effort towards creating a unique piece is almost touchable on the plans.
detailed purport of the exhibition: the exhibition presents exclusively architectural plans sorted to five – partially unusual – topics.
time is an idea difficult to define from an architectural point of view. at the same time, when a musical space seeks for connection with the rythm and twist of the music in a concert hall, it clears up promptly. in another plan the volatile carpet of light circumscribes the idea of caducity and permanency in the garden of a modern monument. translucent veil sheds a historical building of the castle of buda. the digitalized historical text projected onto builds a time-arch between past and present.
money dictates – it became a decisive statement for architects. firstly as a barrier. secondly as a forfeit of oddity and exclusivity. thirdly as the possibility of changing the scale. the plans disjoint an architectural dimension unusual so far in hungary. what to do with tall buildings in budapest and what shape to form them into? what could humanize the office-monsters thus coming to being?
places built for the public get truly critical when a government rises buildings for itself and sometimes for mere representation. the past years' architectural competitions offered a wide range of themes: the governmental district, city halls in budapest and countrywide. representation in today's european city reflects the image of democracy from the point of view of the authority. transparency of the authority is commonplace /note „glasspocket"/, yet its architectural embodiment can not tire in designing glass facades.
architectural places often get in unusual situation. the frontiers of inside and outside blur, down gets to a burden of needs since the scarcity in space up there, spaces contact with unusual media: a conference hall is put into a pool, a nursery school to the tree-level and a church into the soil like paleochristian catacombs.
place as an idea anatomizes the appreciation of countryside. new functions generate new forms about to be placed in a conservative medium: the thoughts of architects equilibrate between the two poles of tradition and innovation. design strategy can be of two types: on one hand identifying one's self with the environment, soothing into nature, on the other hand placing a sign not of disturb but assignment. architects offer possibilities in both directions.
