► Tall and deck-roofed, the brick-faced main block is linked with a projecting octagonal gymnasium by a wide, arcaded and colonnaded foyer toward the street. The three-axed portico and the entrance are emphasised by vertically coordinated slit windows and carved limestone slabs representing young people on the parapets and the rectangular balconies. Generous overall design, delicate implementation and details make this an imperishable creation of the 1950s.

The nice way through the former river bank to the school would be an ideal addition to the “city tours”. This building was planned and built in the Rákosi Era (1950-56). It represents a good architectural quality. Its architecture, Gyula Rimanóczi was a famed architect of the country. The building can be found near the Vienna-Budapest arterial road. With its architectural quality, innovative application of the traditional, historical forms, low-key but aesthetic decoration this building is outstanding among the socialistic realistic buildings of Győr.

Győr was an important mechanical industrial centre already in that age. The composition of the building fits to the expectations of the communist era. The building is a preferential public building of the quarter. Summarize here the subject’s potential for cultural tourism interest. The project shows the “friendly face” of Communist area with a good atmosphere. This school is a good example of the architecture of that age although it needs renovation and modernization.

With its architectural quality, traditional, historical forms this building assembly is outstanding among the socialistic realistic buildings of Győr.


2. POTENTIAL

Summarize here the main characteristics of the subject as a representative of architectural traces of totalitarian regimes of XX the Century: The architecture complex represents the “phalanstery-look.” of Communist area. The representative composition of this residential building was important because of the preferential cityscape aspect. The flats in the building were originally planned for the workers of the factories operated in the adjacent areas for providing a kind of higher living standard. The composition and decorations of the façade met the stylistic expectations of the communistic regime. Summarize here the subject’s potential for cultural tourism interest. The subject shows a “phalanstery-look.” of Communist area with an acceptable atmosphere. Interesting goal for tourism. Major part of the flats is in privately owned, so the possibility for the touristic utilization of the buildings is strongly limited. The buildings are partially renovated. The park enclosed by the building assembly can be an exciting town-development area. As a touristic target these building are not significant.

2. POTENTIAL

Summarize here the main characteristics of the subject as a representative of architectural traces of totalitarian regimes of XX the Century. The Kisfaludy Theatre of Győr was the first theatre building of such a scale of the socialistic Hungary. Only small community houses were made earlier, a theatre building of larger scale had been built before the World War I at last– with a traditional architectural form at that time. The building has the characters of the modern architectural thinking and the expectations of the late age of the Hungarian socialistic system. The building was built on the basis of local architects by local building contractors using totally unique, innovative structural solutions. The building was fit into the town web with a typically socialistic method – by the total demolition of the quarter on the area (“utterly abolish the past”). The internal space systems are far-flunk and scenic. Summarize here the subject’s potential for cultural tourism interest. Through its architectural form and mainly the high-quality programs held in it the building can claim to significant touristic interest in the future too.
