Editor-in-chief of a leading Hungarian architectural magazine METSZET, in the name of the Hungarian Chamber of Architects and the Association of Hungarian Architects, has the honour of inviting you to take part at the 15th International Convention of Architecture, which is to take place in Budapest, Hungary on the 9th March, 2018. (Friday)
The central theme is the metamorphosis of building materials. It investigates how one material can take over the characteristic form of another. Whether a brick wall exhibits patterns typical of woven textiles, or a concrete structure cites the shapes of pottery, form emancipates itself from the original material and becomes a carrier of cultural meaning. Conventional materials, new “ultra-materials”, traditional craftsmanship and digital fabrication all contribute to the interplay of forms and the creation of new possibilities.
