Architecture:
culture / building / vocation
Architecture is always the imprint of a time and place—of its culture, its industrial and technical possibilities. That is why it is easier today to design a middling building eager to follow fast-changing trends, and why it is difficult to make a good house—true Architecture.
T2.a Architects was founded in 2004 by Gábor Turányi and Bence Turányi, father and son. The office’s name grew out of ot their shared and continous way of thinking about Architecture:
Turányi × Turányi × architecture = T2.a
We believe that architecture finds its true meaning in the life of buildings once they are built.
That is why design, engineering, and construction are inseparable in our work. We develop each project with precision, technical rigor, and close collaboration with expert consultants, and remain actively involved from concept through construction and beyond. In our experience, this is the only way to create buildings of lasting value.
“Along our shared professional path, we have completed a number of buildings that, we believe, will long live up to our principles of good Architecture and stand the test of time.
We continue this work after Gábor Turányi’s passing in 2020. Beacuse his curious, irregular freedom in practice—the way he lived his vocation, Architecture—despite all his intentions to the contrary, made him a master to others.
I am only now beginning to understand that I am no exception. Like so many, I learned much—perhaps everything—from him, because from him one could truly learn.
Quietly, naturally, and freely—beyond Architecture itself.
At T2.a Architects we strive to let this resonate in the buildings we design.”
