The Department of Architectural History and Monuments Preservation at BME celebrated the 150th anniversary of its founding—and that of its predecessor institutions—in 2020. As one of the defining workshops of Hungarian architectural education, the department has not only taught architectural history, heritage conservation, and architectural theory, but also played a key role in establishing design education in Hungary.
The anniversary volume guides readers through the department’s history in chronological order, using 150 images with related commentaries. The texts are supported by a custom reference system and markers linked to drawing sections and categories, enabling readers to easily locate the mentioned architectural works within the book’s relevant image collections.
