In this edition of Budacast, "Duel Citizen" What would you do to
escape a communist dictatorship? How about changing your
citizenship from Hungarian to Italian? That’s what Vera Blinken
and her mother did just after world war two and it’s a part of
the tale that Mrs. Blinken recounts in a book she’s co-authored
with her husband, Donald Blinken, who was a US ambassador to
Hungary in the 1990s. Vera Blinken says that after she and her
husband returned to the United States, after the ambassadorship,
she felt that her story had come full circle and had the added
dimension of her husband’s stint as a diplomat in Hungary. The
Blinkens tell their story in a book called Vera and the Ambassador:
Escape and Return and have great insights on Hungary, past and
present.

In this episode of Budacast we speek to Bence Turanyi, an architect
who designed the mod buildings on Budapest's 'Kopaszi gat', a dike
in the middle of the Danube river, not far from the Lagymanyosi
bridge. In the past, he says, it was an abandoned industrial site

In this episode of Budacast we speek to Bence Turanyi, an architect
who designed the mod buildings on Budapest's 'Kopaszi gat', a dike
in the middle of the Danube river, not far from the Lagymanyosi
bridge. In the past, he says, it was an abandoned industrial site
that was quite polluted. He and his father took part in an
archiectural competition to re-vamp the dike. Standing among the
new buildings on the short peninsula one can see a variety of
historic industrial buildings on the Buda side of the river. Just
before the refurbishment project, the Kopaszi Gat was the site of
Budapest's wonderful underground nightclube West Balkan. Today the
property is a lengthy, tree-lined open space with numerous
contemporary lightweight structures to greet you as you make your
way towards the far end.These buildings, says Turanyi, were
inspired by buildings built near Hungary's lake Balaton in the late
1960s. He adds that the buildings,which make extensive use of
wooden panels and have lots of shaded open space on their
exteriors, were not built for an eternity but just for a temporary
period. Bence offers us his assessment of architecture in Budapest
and even talks about the lack of will to preserve some of the
capital's architectural heritage.
