Summary/Abstract: I first came to Budapest in February 1991. As an ardent student of architecture and design in the period 1880–1914, I used the little free time I had to study those secession buildings I already knew something about. The information I came with was minimal in those pre-internet days, when Hungarian art and design were little known elsewhere. I had read two short articles on the work of Ödön Lechner and Aladár Árkay in Pevsner and Richard’s ‘way-ahead-of-its-time’ collection of papers years before, but that was it.
