The second edition of EDGE Architecture Festival Budapest (EDGE Fest)<\/strong>, organised by \u00c9p\u00edt\u00e9szf\u00f3rum, will take place on 18-19 June 2026 in Budapest<\/strong> at D\u00fcrer Kert and the industrial venues of Hengermalom. Bringing together internationally renowned architects, designers, emerging voices, and experimental practices, the festival explores how architecture can respond to ecological, social, and technological transformation.<\/h3>\n

Framed as both an international architecture conference and competition, EDGE Fest investigates the evolving role of architecture through lectures, discussions, while finalists of the EDGE Awards competition will present their projects live, culminating in a public jury evaluation.<\/p>\n

What does it mean to build today \u2014 and do we still need to build at all? If so, how, with what tools, and for whom? How can architecture operate within the ecological limits of the planet, and which design approaches are capable of offering meaningful responses to ecological and social crises?<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence, once perceived as a disruptive force, has now become infrastructure. Abstract notions such as the post-digital or post-human have shifted from theoretical constructs into lived realities. Within this context, EDGE Fest investigates the frontier zones of architectural and design thinking, exploring the political, ecological, technological, and aesthetic dimensions of a profession in transformation.<\/p>\n

Throughout the two-day lecture and discussion series, alongside the wider festival programme, international and Hungarian creators \u2014 established and emerging architects alike \u2014 seek answers to how architecture can respond to ongoing global changes.<\/p>\n

Among this year\u2019s speakers are:<\/p>\n
