Honey in a post-bee world – Levente Kiss Botond’s award-winning design fiction
Date: 2022.07.04
Ice caps melting, cities flooded, tropical coral reefs deteriorating – seen from Central Europe, extreme consequences of climate change seem remote and obscure
Levente Kiss Botond’s regional vision however is of a Hungary in 2050, when bees have disappeared as a result of climate warming. As a designer, he foresees a problem for the future and proposes a speculative response based on current data and with expert involvement. His design fiction won the student award of the international Core77 magazine.

As a poet, university professor, linguist, literary translator and publicist, Ádám Nádasdy was described as a sensitive seismograph and a shaping presence in Hungary’s intellectual and social life, when receiving the Moholy-Nagy Award, one of our university’s most important accolades. An inspiring thinker and speaker, an outstanding poet and a translator of lasting significance, he died at the age of 79.
