Description: Hungary's legacy of historic and modernist buildings rivals that of any country in Eastern or Western Europe. This comprehensive survey of Hungarian architecture from Roman times to the present, the first to be published in English, makes that case abundantly clear. But to appreciate the architectural history of this Central European country, it is necessary to understand architectural solutions indigenous to the Central European region as a whole.

This book is both a study of the relationship between Hungary's own architecture and history, and an introduction to the larger field of Central European architecture.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [298]-308) amd index.
