Research Field
Architecture as a creation engaging all the sensesand Architecture (landscape, architecture, interior, design) as an emergent process.
Architectural Philosophy (from DLA dissertation and professional CV, 2007)
“When I began my career, I was primarily fascinated by the constantly changing phenomena of our world—speed, dynamics, and time.My intention was to bring these into balance with the built environment through the shaping of architectural form.Over time, this changed.
I realized that shaping space, form, and time is merely an intellectual game.Every person perceives the world differently, responding to it through their own faith and emotion.
Creation is a continuously evolving process of collective thinking, aiming to bring all complex factors—spiritual and cultural—into harmony.When our teams succeed, the users of our spaces and buildings can sense this balanced atmosphere.
Our goal is to shape physical masses true to our concepts and theories, and to merge spaces with light.We feel our work is fruitful when these results are tangibly perceptible.
This is why I focus on virtuality.If we create something that touches people and makes them feel good, we know we have created something human.
I firmly believe that all this can be realized with the help of 21st-century technology.As a result, I treat technology, architecture, and humanity as one unified system.
Our primary aim in every project is to form the most suitable team capable of achieving the highest design quality and professional standard.This creates evolving, supportive processes in which our clients are always fully involved.
Our work is a continuous journey toward creating a creative, emotional quality of architecture.”
Introduction to ZHJ’s Habilitation Lecture (2022.12.06)
“The Great Masters – Zoltán Szentkirályi and Csaba Virág, professors at the BME Department of Architectural History – profoundly influenced my thinking.Later, through the 10th Cycle of the Hungarian Master School and the European democratic, workshop-like creative method practiced by Erick van Egeraat, I found a new way of thought.
At the urban development scale, the Europan Europe experience led me to a new path and design approach.
This is the Emergent Design Development Method – a belief in interdisciplinary thinking, where Ratio and Emotio exist in harmony.”
Her architectural worldview resonates with Juhani Pallasmaa’s philosophy from “The Eyes of the Skin”,which asserts that true architecture engages all seven senses.ZHJ sought to create within that spirit throughout her career.
