The works of Hungarian architects show that Hungary is a modern country and Hungarians are modern people who respect their traditions and are capable of creating something that is world class while being uniquely Hungarian, President Katalin Novák said at an award ceremony on Saturday to mark the Day of Hungarian Architecture.
Hungarian architecture reflects the relationship with the past, the focus of the present, “and whether we are open to the world”, Novák told the ceremony in Pesti Vigadó.
This, she added, came in the form of works that could hold their own anywhere in the world. Saturday’s ceremony was held to present state architectural awards as well as the inaugural Károly Kós Lifetime Achievement Award which was given to Sándor Dévényi.
Meanwhile, President Novák Assists Public Media's Annual Charity Campaign
President Katalin Novák visited the public media call centre on Sunday to take charity phone calls for the annual “Good to be Good” charity campaign.
This year’s campaign is raising money for the Semmelweis University Foundation to support the development of premature babies.
Novák said on Facebook that donors could bid for the coronation plate she received from King Charles III and Queen Camilla when she attended the coronation ceremony this year.
A donation of 500 forints can be contributed by dialling the phone number 13600, extension 04, or by texting 04 to the same number.
