Barracks and fortresses. A comparative review of the military architecture of Hungary and the Russian Far East

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (84) December, 2023

The article, written within the framework of the Russian-Hungarian project “The Architectural Image of the Motherland: Budapest-Petersburg-Harbin”, is devoted to the architecture of fortifications and garrisons. In the first, Hungarian, part, the role of fortress architecture in the formation of national identity and (using two examples) the architecture of barracks are reviewed. The main goal of the second, Far Eastern Turkestan, part is to identify the role of garrison towns as a “civilization matrix” that transmits the culture of the metropolis to the outskirts of the empire. In the third part, the topic of fortresses and military settlements is addressed using the example of Port Arthur and the project of “soldiers’ settlements” along the Chinese Eastern Railway.

Workers' colonies and garden cities. The hungarian experience (1900-1925)

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (81) March, 2023

The article is written by a Russian-Hungarian team. The first part deals with the French experience of organizing workers' colonies (1851-1900s); the second part, with the first and the best example of the Hungarian garden city of Vecerlelep (a suburb of Budapest, 1908-1930s). This location is little known to the domestic reader; however, in the 1920s, Vekerlelep was considered as a world-class model for the implementation of the garden-city concept. The final part addresses the problem of the interpretation of the garden-city concept by domestic researchers and takes a look at Russian workers' settlements.
