Association

Mission and aim of the Association

The Napraforgó Street experimental housing estate is located in the 2nd district of Budapest. The unique historical monument complex which was built at the beginning of the 1930s is the gem of the district’s architectural inheritance. The twenty-one family houses designed by noted architects of the era mirror the multifaceted endeavours of modern architecture. Many of the buildings are pioneering, representative works of Bauhaus. Very few countries may take pride in a similarly well-preserved, uniform architectural complex.

Napraforgó Street Bauhaus Association was founded in December 2017 to maintain the integration of the experimental housing estate. Our aim is to make our street known as one of the attractive sights of Budapest and Hungary, both at home and abroad.

One of the prominent targets of the Association is to collect, systematize the documents related to the street’s history and its buildings and to make these available for the wider public. We would like to increase the intangible value of our cultural heritage by the development of the public premises. Our further aim is the protection of the Bauhaus idea by involving supporting members and the enhancement of Hungarian Bauhaus architecture both in our country and abroad.
