The 25th anniversary of the Faculty of Landscape Architecture at Budapest
Looking back and the contemporary situation

This article comprises the view of a foreigner and thus outsider on history and contemporary situation of the Faculty of Landscape architecture and Urbanism in Budapest at the 25th anniversary of the Faculty. The outline and line of reasoning are built up along two parts. The first part starts with a short historical overview of the development of the Faculty in terms of education, research and organisation. Landscape architecture education in Hungary did start long before the foundation of the Faculty but here, in the first part, the focus is on the last 25 years. In the second part, the contemporary situation is described briefly. At the moment we see a strong tendency to internationalisation — like in other schools of landscape architecture — both in education (the International
MLA) and in research. One of the conclusions is that the Faculty should move towards a specific focus on the long tradition of planning and design in the Central and Eastern European landscape, to stand out and develop its historically strong position further in the future. This will give future students a clear perspective on their choice of the program and at the same time puts forward a large part of the research agenda. The article will be continued in 4D, next issue 46. In the second part, I take look at the present situation; what is happening at the Faculty at the moment? The background idea is that the past could be a basis for the future, also as a source of inspiration.
