József Sisa : Le Parlement hongrois – construction, décoration, idéologie
- Details
- Category: Events
Le parlement hongrois à Budapest, l’un des plus grands édifices de son époque, est une œuvre exceptionnelle du style néo-gothique. La conférence tente de mettre en lumière quelques aspects de son édification, tels que le concours d’architecture organisé pour sa construction, les débats entourant le choix des styles et la question délicate de l’art national. La personnalité d’Imre Steindl, l’architecte du parlement, et l’activité de son bureau représentent aussi des thèmes pertinents. Les matériaux utilisés et la toiture à ossature métallique illustrent le dilemme entre tradition et technologie moderne. La diversité de la décoration de l’édifice, ainsi que l’iconographie de ses sculptures et tableaux est un autre sujet à examiner. Le parlement hongrois entretient aussi des liens avec la culture française.
