Between 2012 and 2015, the KÉK – Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre invited to Budapest a dozen Dutch practitioners, whose work is organized around the reuse of vacant buildings and areas. By presenting these practices, connecting them to their Budapest counterparts and creating situations of formal and informal exchange, KÉK opened new spaces for thought in the Hungarian architecture, planning and deve- lopment culture and in civil society. Vacant City is the result of these encounters, assembling the key thoughts and experiences of the program’s 3 years.
The publication explores experiments in inclusive urban transformation and can be purchased at lakatlan@kek.org.hu or at the KÉK- Contemporary Architecture Centre Gallery at Bartók Béla út 10-12, Budapest.
