Hungarian architecture is the architecture of a major country and every part of it is worth knowing. The Wiebenson and Sisa book is timely, comprehensive, and cohesive. -- Stefan Muthesius, University of East Anglia Despite the widely recognized contributions of Hungarian artists and architects such as Marcel Breuer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Gyvrgy Kepes to modern culture, the architectural environment where they grew up is rarely considered by hisotrians. Hungarian architects had to leave their country to be noticed in Western europe or in the United States. The authors of this book had the important and difficult task to change this situation, and they managed to give a well documented and concise picture of the development from the first Roman settlements through the pluralism of tendencies after the recent political transformation of the country. -- Okos Morav'nszky, ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) "Timely and searching, this book comprises a welcome gathering ofessays that collectively document and present to the reader thearchitectural originality that has given form to Hungarian culture."
