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.

The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) has announced an open call for applications for the position of Rector. The call has been issued by the maintainer of the university, the Foundation for Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design.
Two projects linked to MOME took first place in the Hungarian round of the International Union of Architects (UIA) Architecture and Children Work Programme’s UIA Golden Cubes Awards, organised in Hungary by the Association of Hungarian Architects.
The Course Week is one of MOME’s most intensive and dynamic formats: a week when creativity, learning, and collaboration come together in a concentrated burst of activity. During the spring 2026 edition, studio work was complemented by exhibitions, international symposia, and artist talks, while students and lecturers from different programmes worked together in interdisciplinary settings. Subjects ranged from AI and robotics to sound, animation, and photography, alongside architecture and experiments with sustainable materials, from sound workshops to architectural and exhibition concepts. Many of the courses were organised in international collaboration and involved visiting lecturers. The week concluded with public presentations, offering an insight into the outcomes of this intensive period of work.
