AKXSITE is an international architecture ideas competition for architecture students and young architects. In the spring, the announced task was to design a site tower in the vicinity of an old hermitage in Monsaraz, Portugal. The students were able to meet the application within the Complex subjects at the BME, Department of Public Building Design. The plan had to be prepared for the current call as a written examination task, which students could further work on and submit as a formal application after the departmental evaluation. Three teams applied from the department. Of the 155 (!) plans submitted:

Kata Macsek, in pair with András Ábrahám-Fúrús won the 1st place

Ágota Gunther, Stefánia Jaczkó, Zsuzsa Madarász and Franciska Márki was awarded Honorable Mention.

The plans are published on several international architectural platforms, and the winner receives a cash prize as well.)

Congratulations to our students!
