A seven-member jury picked Model, a project by Bálint Bachmann and Balázs Markó among twelve submissions submitted for the Hungarian pavilion at the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale.
?The model is an extended architectural thought from the plane into the space. The model building plays a particularly important role in the education of the architecture, therefore we wish to present models prepared by students in the interior spaces of the pavilion,? Bachmann and Markó said in their submission.
?Building a model is the symbol of architectural complexity, in which the practicality of the realisation meets the intellectual content of the architecture. According to our interpretation the pavilion of exhibition itself is also a model of a real size scale,? they explained.
The jury comprised the art historian Géza Boros, who heads the art department at the Ministry of National Development; the architect István Ferencz, a member of the Hungarian Art Academy; the aesthete Gábor Gulyás, the director of the Műcsarnok and the national commissioner of the Hungarian pavilion at the Biennale; the architect Szabolcs Guttman, a teacher at the Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj; the architect Ernő Kálmán, the chairman of the Association of Hungarian Architects; the art historian József Készman, a senior curator at the Műcsarnok, and the architecture critic Andor Wesselényi-Garay, who was the curator of the Hungarian exhibition at the 2010 Architecture Biennale.
The jury gave a special acknowledgment to the PANEL ? venicycle system submission.
