POV Budapest

Lucien Hervé (1910–2007) turned architecture into art, capturing the essence of buildings through light, shadow, and geometry. As Le Corbusier’s “official eye,” he transformed modern architecture into striking visual stories. Born as László Elkán in 1910, he grew up in Budapest during a period of flourishing modernism and avant-garde movements. His sharp, minimalist eye was shaped by the city’s eclectic architecture and vibrant early 20th-century cultural scene. Get your tickets for POV Budapest 2025 at povbudapest.com/tickets.

György Kepes (1906–2001) was a Hungarian designer and artist whose work redefined visual culture on a global scale. A Bauhaus protégé and collaborator of László Moholy-Nagy, he authored Language of Vision (1944), a design classic that influenced everything from graphic design to architecture. At MIT, he founded the Center for Advanced Visual Studies, bridging art, science, and technology. Less known is his influence on urban design—his concepts of integrating light and media into cityscapes prefigured today’s digital architecture, from illuminated facades to smart cities.
