100 Year-Old Buildings of Budapest

Within the framework of our joint 100 Year-Old Buildings of Budapest project, on April 9 and 10, the 100th day of the year, OSA Archivum and the Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre will open to the public several dozen buildings which were erected in Budapest in 1911, including the Goldberger House, the headquarters of OSA.

Our intention is to add a new event to the Budapest calendar: the annual public celebration of buildings that reach the age of 100 in that year. These centenary events would also give the residents of the buildings the opportunity to get to know each other and the often hidden treasures of their houses. For 2011, 140 buildings have been identified. The majority of them are residential buildings but the list includes schools, clinics, water towers museums and more.

Of the identified 140 buildings, approximately 50 will be open to the general public. Programs organized by the residents are in Hungarian, but tours are available and English.

At the peak of the program, there will be a Budapest100 party on Saturday, 9th of April at 8:00 p.m. in the legendary FÁKLYA CLUB (Csengery utca 68.; http://facebook.com/budapest100 ). There is no entrance fee.

The closing event of the Budapest100 will be a concert at OSA on Sunday, 10th of April at 8:00 p.m. Arany János u. 32.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to peek into the 100-year-old buildings of Budapest!
