Hungarian rhapsodist

Article Abstract:

Hungarian organic architect Imre Makovecz, who has gained a reputation for opposing Modernist architecture, is soon to speak in London, England, for the first time, when he gives the AJ/RIBA lecture. He makes extensive use of natural material, and is particularly fond of timber. He style is that of folk architecture, but cannot be dismissed as primitive.
