Exhibition
The Budapest legacy has been the subject of numerous exhibitions at home and abroad. The first debut of the archives was in Shanghai with a custom-developed, trilingual, desktop-based application, the Hudec Interactive Encyclopaedia at the 2010 SHANGHAI WORLD EXPO.
ARCHITECTURE - HUDEC - SHANGHAI
In November 2013, an exhibition at the Barabás Villa in Budapest featured contemporary photographs by Ábel Szalontai as well as reprints of contemporary photographs and original documents. Using the tools of the media, the audience could learn about László Hudec's life from a documentary film about him (dir: Réka Pigniczky), explore the digitised material of the legacy using the Hudec Interactive Encyclopaedia, a unique desktop application, and take a 3D tour of the Shanghai buildings reconstructed by Graphisoft.
HUDEC AND MODERN SHANGHAI
In 2019, the Hudec Cultural Foundation was the leading partner of the temporary exhibition at the Shanghai History Museum. The exhibition featured a number objects and documents from teh Budapest family archives, and the giant touch-screen, the Magic Wall installation was composed of the digitised Hungarian collection. The exhibition was the largest international project of the Foundation, and hundreds of thousands of visitors were able to discover the unique materials of the Hudec heritage and get to know the rich cultural heritage of Hungary of the 19th century.
FINDING HUDEC
The Architect as Seen by Today's Shanghai was a Sino-Hungarian collaboration and brought the results of the Shnaghai based Hudec Media Workshop to the FUGA Architecture Centre in Budapest. The exhibition presented the East China Normal University (ECNU) School of Design students' Hudec experience related to his buildings still functioning in the crowded metropolis. The exhibition's curators were: Wei Shaonong, Virág Csejdy, Ábel Szalontai
