Founded in 1989 and led by Csaba Nagy and Károly Polus, Archikon is one of Hungary's most respected and awarded architectural practices, with a thirty-five year portfolio dedicated primarily to public and community buildings across Budapest and beyond. The practice has built its reputation on innovative reconfigurations of existing buildings that respect the character and history of what already exists while creating something genuinely new, a philosophy that has placed Archikon at the centre of Budapest's most significant heritage revitalisation projects.
