Whose footsteps are we following in when entering the MOME Campus? Who has been shaping MOME over the decades and what values are we carrying on? The MOME Future Heritage programme may answer these questions, whether for staff that have been with us for decades, new students, or visitors. We can learn about our shared history and identity through works of art and installations embodying our heritage and displayed across the Campus. The sculptures and signs pay homage to some of the exceptional figures who had shaped the University’s life and role in the Hungarian and Central European design scene.

Közös történetünket, identitásunkat ismerhetjük meg azokon az örökségünket manifesztáló műtárgyakon, installációkon keresztül, amelyek Campus-szerte megtekinthetők. A szobrokat, jeleket szemlélve néhány kivételes, az iskola életét, a magyar és a közép-európai designéletben betöltött szerepét alakító személyiséget ismerhetünk meg.

Memorial Cubes

Previously located next to the trees commemorating our formative architecture teachers, the small concrete cubes has been recently installed next to the TWO to preserve their memory. Ferenc Bodor, József Király, Péter Reimholz, and György Szrogh each received a memorial cube.

Moholy-Nagy Stairs

The names of our Moholy-Nagy laureates are revealed to us on the banister with every step as we climb the stairs, following in the footsteps of our eponym. Since 2006, the Moholy-Nagy Award is presented each November to individuals whose outstanding creative, research, or artistic activity is founded on the same values as those of the university and its eponym.

Sculptures

Sculptures previously located in the Campus park will soon be returned here, including Reading worker, a statue created by András Beck in 1951, and been recently moved to a new spot. Designed by Gábor Kopek and László Zsótér for the 40th anniversary of the invention of the Rubik’s Cube Rubik 40, has been displayed in the park since 2014.
