Hungarian Cubes

The photographic material showcased at Katharina Roters and József Szolnoki’s first exhibition at the acb Gallery draws on their shared research, which they based on Roters’ typology and conducted for over a decade.

The aim of their study was to collect and catalogue the etched pebbledash facades characteristic of the architecture of the Hungarian countryside, thereby creating a kind of virtual open air museum.

The book entitled Hungarian Cubes (2014) – which presents the photographic material of the research alongside a collection of essays, and which won the DAM Architectural Book Award of the Frankfurt Book Fair and the German Architecture Museum – can be regarded as an antecedent to the exhibition.
