Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the contribution of Hungarian artists working with space and architects to the Avant-Garde. Lajos Kassák contributed with his writings to the propagation of the Avant-Garde (like journals in other countries, ex. Contimporanul in Romania). Laszló Moholy-Nagy designed installations at Bauhaus inspiring numerous creations. Fred Forbát learned from the Bauhaus and designed the Siedlung Siemensstadt in Berlin with other Bauhaus architects. All these worked in exile after the Soviet Republic failed. Other names connected to creations related to Russian constructivism or De Stijl add to this.
