Within the commemorative year on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of József Borsos, the former chief architect of the “cívis” city, the Borsos József 150 exhibition will open on the 9th of April.

The Borsos-villa Community House of the DEMKI also joined the series of events for the significant anniversary, as the villa he designed was also the home of József Borsos. He jokingly called the two-story building, which once stood out among the single-story houses on the suburban street, an “old-garden cottage”. 

The curator, director and opening person of the exhibition presenting Borsos’ architectural legacy is architect Zoltán Rácz, the most knowledgeable expert on Borsos’s oeuvre.

Several buildings in Debrecen commemorate József Borsos, whose life’s work the city pays tribute to with a series of programmes throughout the year.

Date: 9 April, 4.00 p.m.
Location: DEMKI Borsos-villa Community House, 1 Borsos József Square
