The Architecture of Historic Hungary
- List Price: $68.00
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Mit Pr
- Publish date: 06/01/1998
The authors, all leading Hungarian architectural historians with access to archives unavailable to Western scholars, provide insight into the special significance that political changes in Hungary had in the shaping of its architecture. They describe the relation of Hungarian architecture to the other arts, the assimilation of outside influences, and the search for an authentic national expression.
The authors cover the entire range of Hungarian architecture -- including public, private, ecclesiastical, and governmental -- as well as engineering, city planning, and technological advances. They also discuss the changing roles of patrons and guilds, and the contribution of architectural publications and education to the Hungarian architectural profession. Perhaps most revealing to Western readers are the illustrations and line drawings, which document to Western most neglected but fascinating architectural traditions of Europe.
