Dávid Zubreczki’s new book tells the stories of the Danube Bend in the language of churches

From the country’s largest basilica to the northernmost mosque of the Ottoman Empire or a globally significant work of Hungarian Renaissance architecture—accompanied by “architectural storyteller” Dávid Zubreczki, we can again enjoy a good walk, this time, in one of the most beautiful areas of Hungary, the Danube Bend.

Is the Danube taking a new Bend? | URBANUM X KanyarGO

”Indulj el egy úton, én is egy másikon” (”You go down one road, I’ll go down another”—free translation): a nice earworm. Several generations are already humming the folk song performed by the Muzsikás Ensemble, familiar from the theme song of the documentary ”Másfélmillió lépés Magyarországon”. But what if

Metaurbanism in practice | The projects of Urbanum

Since their launch in October last year, Urbanum’s team has not only organized events and sparked discussions in the spirit of metaurbanism, the interdisciplinary urban research approach represented by them.

The fusion of architecture and graphic design in the spirit of slow design | Dunakanyar Press

Analog techniques and inspiration from nature combined with the fields of architecture and graphic design, where the approach of slow design not only intertwines with the creative processes but also with the creators’ everyday lives.

Weekend house romance reinvented | Studio Bunyik

Architect Emese Bunyik imagined her family’s summer home as a giant bunkbed. The house once inhabited by dormice now display the ideas and work of three generations, from children to grandparents. There is a certain nomadic charm to the Danube Bend: even if it is close to the capital,

Indulj el! | Danube Bend

Waterfront, islands, mountains, picturesque little villages, historical memories: in spite of its small area, the Danube Bend is an incredibly diverse part of the country. Owing to its location, it has wondrous natural qualities, and some even think that the heart chakra of the Earth is located somewhere around here,

The Buda Resort | Luxury above the heart chakra of the planet

A world-famous Danish designer imagined a luxury hotel above the heart of the Visegrad Mountains (and the entire planet, according to many), at Dobogókő. This idea inspired Johannes Torpe and this team, too, when they designed a mountainside hotel fitting closely into the landscape, which could easily pass as a
