Love to design, you have chosen the most beautiful profession! Be brave, bold and ambitious! Intend for all your work to be on the cover of the hottest architecture magazine! Be responsible, though, your client and the community pay a lot for every unnecessary line! There is more than one good solution, try as many as you can! Dare to err, you can learn the most from your mistakes! Ask the smarter one, but don’t take everything for granted! Always try to learn from the best, find your master! Be precise, pay attention to details, because not only God, but also the devil is in them! Build a lot with your own hands! Get acquainted with building materials, building structures! Put yourself in the shoes of those who will implement your design! Make as many models as you can, because you’ll rethink your house a hundred times while building it! Always think about the why! Make sure the underlying concept of your designs has solid foundations, for only then will your building be timeless! And finally, claim your due reward for your work, but don’t create for the money! – Áron Losonczi

Manifesto ↓

I still find the architect’s mindset the most appealing. The architectural creative process and its outcome have a direct impact on society; the (limiting or inspiring) environment that surrounds us is designed by architects. This requires more than just technical expertise, one must practically function as a polymath who is at home in sociology and psychology, who knows history, tradition, the functioning of society and the individual. Somehow, the architect always creates in a holistic context, so he has to know the whole.

Career path ↓

“After graduating as an architect in Budapest in 2001, I didn’t want to sit into an architectural office; I was at a loss what to do with myself. So I »fled« to Stockholm on a scholarship to the postgraduate architecture training at The Royal Institute of Art, started working on the theme of »glass in architecture« and invented LiTraCon, the light transmitting concrete,” – says Áron Losonczi. The Swedish government continued to subsidise his work with a grant and paid the first patent fee for the translucent concrete. In 2003, Áron decided to come back to his home in Csongrád, Hungary. Then he was invited by the Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design in Stockholm to present his translucent concrete at an exhibition. The man-size piece of wall that came out of the Csongrád workshop was first exhibited in Stockholm and then in the permanent exhibition at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. In the following years, he realised numerous projects around the world and his invention received several professional accolades, such as the red dot: best of the best in 2005 and the iF Design Award in 2008. His work has been praised in the TIME magazine and featured on the cover of DOMUS. His company LiTraCon Kft. is still in operation, but Áron is devoting more and more of his time to the family winery, which he took over eight years ago. He lives and works in Csongrád. “I’m increasingly seeing partial return to a classical architectural career as an opportunity, but only in projects that I enjoy.
