“The Hungarian House of Music is being built in a park. The first thing that came to mind was that I would be playing music in nature. That's why I wanted to place the two ground-floor auditoriums in such a way that they would be connected to the park. While most concert halls are closed boxes, I dreamed of open spaces where natural light could filter in, from which you could see nature, and which could also be seen from the Liget. I wanted it to be a liberating space in a conceptual sense, and in practice, to offer the opportunity to listen to high-quality music while respecting the beautiful surroundings.
