Budapest - Hungary
From the beginning, since opening my own business as an architect, I have combined the activities of designer with those of business development consultant for the construction industry. This has allowed me to travel frequently and to visit many cities around the world.
I like traveling and I know I’m lucky to do this job.
Although, almost always, my days were filled with meetings and I didn’t have time to be a tourist, I still had the opportunity to experience the city from the perspective of those who live and work there.
What follows below is not a travel guide but just an architect’s travel notes of feelings and sensations captured during the trip. As Italo Calvino says in Invisible Cities: “With cities, it is as with dreams: everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire or, its reverse, a fear. Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else.”
I would like to share with you those desires and fears.
I was recently in Budapest, I’d like to show you some of the photos I took there.
