Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design
Institute of Architecture
In our vision artistic spatial design, negotiation skills and engineering knowledge form a unit that builds on each other. The Institute aims to train responsible professionals endowed with creative power, with equal weight of tradition and innovation.
Programmes
The programme is designed to help students learn the artistic and technical skills required for shaping the built environment and design processes, using an approach characterised by the trinity of architecture, interior design and furniture design.
The Architecture MA programme delivers training with an emphasis on complexity, and architectural conceptualisation grounded in research. Students gain proficiency in both individual and group assignments, and an understanding of all aspects of architectural design.

From the nearly 30 teams, INDOOHÁZ received the first prize for giving new life to abandoned railway water reservoirs as bivouacs for backpackers.
The latest season of the Architectural Matters public event series launched by the MOME Architecture Institute and moderated by Zoltán Neville was concluded by a presentation by architect and urban planner Jens Richter from the estudio Herreros architect firm.

The Budapest Design Week has been bringing together design professionals and enthusiast of the capital in mid-October for 20 years with exciting events. As part of these, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design once again presents a selection of diploma projects by freshly graduated MA students, this time downtown, off the University Campus.
Each year, the Architecture MA students of MOME’s Architecture Institute explore a specific subject. The focus of the 2022/2023 academic year was adaptive reuse.
From 22–26 May, the second end-of-year semester of the 2022/2023 academic year will proceed for 5 days. We look forward to seeing you at these events that are also open to the public. We warmly welcome to the university’s campus all those interested in the public events of the degree programmes.

The aim is to train open-minded designers who can respond sensitively to environmental, social and cultural processes and stand for the highest standards of quality. It seeks to enhance the competitiveness of MOME graduate designers both in the national and international arena, helping them carve out a niche in the industry for themselves.
We aim to ensure that students of our institute as well as of the design institutes have an in-depth understanding of art in its social, historical and conceptual context, can play an active role in its creation, and are able to mediate it in both informal and formal (classes, critiques, papers, exhibitions) settings.
Our four knowledge centres, Animation, Photography, Media Design and Graphic Design, offer BA, MA, PhD and extracurricular programmes, as well as high standards of education, an open-minded environment, and state-of-the-art technological background.
