Explore the map of Budapest’s defining contemporary architectural works

Budapest Legend is an interactive, searchable map database of Budapest’s most notable contemporary buildings. The website was launched with the contribution of the Chamber of Budapest Architects, the Hungarian Academy of Arts, and the Deputy State Secretariat for Architecture and Construction. Budapest Legend presents the artistic achievements of the profession in a way that is easily accessible for all.

The aim of the Chamber of Budapest Architects was to create a map database including the defining contemporary Budapest buildings of the last decades. The resulting catalogue creates an interactive, searchable database of contemporary buildings that provides useful information not only for builders and investors but also for the representatives of associated arts, civil and professional researchers of urban history, and the general public interested in architecture, Octogon reported. In addition to the map display, the website also includes a brief description of every building complemented with photos. The filters allow viewers to search by district, architect, prize, function, or building category.

This unique database includes buildings that have received widespread professional recognition and serve as benchmarks for future works.
