GUIDED TOUR OF THE SMALL HUNGARIAN CUBE. THE DWELLINGS OF MODERNITY IN THE KÁDÁR ERA

The exhibition is based on the idea of a familiar, almost everyday architectural phenomenon, the typical cubic house (the so-called Kádár cube) as an expression of modernisation.

Schedule

The family house of the sixties and seventies still defines the image of the Hungarian countryside. Scorned by post-Socreal architecture in Hungary, the stepchild has proved to be the most enduring architectural form of the last century. The cube house with a tent roof is the twin of the factory dwelling; the two characters of the housing of the existing socialism are unimaginable without each other. Whatever our attitude to the cube house, it is part of our built cultural heritage.
