Watch for Cows

It is in this remote place where the prize-winning competition designs are realized, only to bring new life to the streets of Debrecen, Szeged, Pécs, Győr and Budapest. Gergely Csikós, an organizer of the event helped us better understand the studio, so that we should not only look but also know what we were seeing.

History at our hands

We always knew, but now we could see it with our own eyes how a rusty piece of iron, surely to be thrown aside if we find it in the garden, is transformed into a beautiful object, an invaluable work of art several hundred years old.
