The renowned quarterly on architectural history and town-planning theory Architektúra & Urbanizmus (https://architektura-urbanizmus.sk/) is published electronically and in print in English in Bratislava, by the Institute of History of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The No. 3-4 issue (vol. 58) titled "Circles of Expansion" deals with the ring roads in Budapest, Kraków, Brno, Košice, Szeged, Nikšić, and other cities. The guest editor of this issue is Máté Tamáska, head of the V4 Project of the Hungarian National Archive, vice rector for academic affairs at the Apor Vilmos Catholic College, Vác. The impetus for this issue was an international conference titled Circles of Expansion at the Collegium Hungaricum in Vienna. Enikő Tóth, curator of the Museum Department at the HMA MPDC, also contributed a paper on the historicist architecture of the Ring Road in Budapest. The studies obtained from the journal's open call broadened the discourse on the topic. From this autumn, a travelling exhibition will popularize the theme of ring roads, accompanied by a conference and university lectures to be held in Szeged, Brno, Košice, and Kraków.
The launch will be held in English.
