Behind the scenes: an insight into the development of an award-winning cultural project

The Liget Budapest Project is Europe's largest cultural project, in which the Hungarian government is creating a new museum district by revitalizing the continent's oldest public park. Among the many cultural buildings that have been completed, the Hungarian House of Music, with its unique appearance, has become an icon of the Museum Quarter. The building, designed by Sou Fuyimoto Architects and built by Hungarian contractors, has won numerous international awards:
a) Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the MIPIM AWARDS in Cannes on March 17.
b) Winner of the World's Best Use of Music in Real Estate Development Award at the American Music Cities Awards on September 23, 2020
c) Named by CNN and the World Architecture Community as one of the top ten most anticipated new architecture projects of 2021.
The project manager - the presenter - was awarded Project Manager of the Year in Hungary and will represent the country in the IPMA Project Manager of the Year competition.
Behind the stunning final result is the project team, whose work, struggles and problems during the project are little known to the public. During the pre-conference tour, participants will be given a tour of the building by the project manager, while the keynote presentation will give the project manager a behind-the-scenes look at project management.
