\u201cWork on philosophy \u2013 like work in architecture in many respects \u2013 is really more work on oneself. On one’s own conception. On how one sees things. (And what one expects of them.)\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Ludwig Wittgenstein)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the late 1990s, G\u00e1bor U. Nagy moved from Budapest to the \u0150rs\u00e9g, in the south-western corner of the Hungary, and embraced the rural way of life. His architecture evolved accordingly. He believed in local materials and craftsmanship. The first houses he built there (K\u00e9tv\u00f6lgy, Zsida) were built by his own hands, with the help of a few barely qualified people. However, EU accession attracted this workforce to neighbouring countries, and this way of constructing became unrealistic. In the mid-2000s, a combination of prefabrication and local building materials began to be considered. His first such building was the dance hall and restaurant known as Pajta, where he added an astonishing blend of traditional \u0150rs\u00e9g typology with a combination of timber construction and thin glass walls with a veranda-like extension to the restaurant, famous for its cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G\u00e1bor U. Nagy summed up his philosophy in an interview: \u201cDesign isn\u2019t guesswork, it’s learning [\u2026] the proportionality and structure of learning are perhaps more important than its objectivity.<\/em>\u00a0But what is most important is the self-knowledge experienced through it.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This self-knowledge is also tangible in the case of the accommodation buildings \u2013 as a continuation of the \u201cPajta story\u201d.<\/em>\u00a0The client and his demands are the same, and the basis for the construction was a high-tech housing company belonging to the family, which was not afraid of adventures when thinking of development.<\/em>\u00a0Of course, the designer’s expertise in combining prefabrication with local conditions was present, making the buildings both ecological and economical, and these two aspects were not only obvious to the architect, but the circumstances also suggested that they should be combined.<\/em>\u00a0In this way emerged the spiritual background to understanding the concept of the cabin houses.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
