Amidst these chronicles of stone and mortar, the infusion of contemporary materials like alu ablak (aluminium windows) offers a narrative of harmony between the old and the new. 

Modern Hungarian designers face the challenge of integrating the sleekness of aluminium into the country’s classical architecture without compromising its historical integrity. However, architects are crafting a legacy that will stand the test of time, much like the iconic structures that have come before.

It’s a legacy that will be marked by the thoughtful integration of materials like aluminium; materials that echo the country’s respect for its past while creating a durable foundation for its future.

  1. It’s not the aluminum- 70 years ago they went aluminum crazy. Wood Doors and windows were replaced with in homes and commercial – this was before dual pane. They ignored layout detail of the original frames and and mullians.. The only advantage was they don’t rot- it didn’t matter that they looked like hell. The windows where I live must be over 100 years old and are incredible condition. They are double windows with about 8 inches between. Must have been maintained.I could care less what the material is as long as doesn’t destroy the design and integrity. The building in the photo looks strange with mullians being awkward layout on the round corner. Just like the make plastic car bodies – the surface is done so you never know the difference..
