Jury verdict

Dóra Balla → An exceptionally well designed volume of non-fiction. Due to its apperance, proportions, unique choice of colors and impeccable typography, it’s both a perfectly laid out text book and and exciting book object that’s a pleasure to behold.  

Anna Bárdi → his book blends in well with the current western European book market due to its designer’s attention to detail, impeccable taste and contemporary sense of graphic design.

Ákos Déri → Properly cold photographs, careful typography. a textbook that works as an album too. An ode to the usually neglected genres of list of contents, notes and captions.  

Bea Istvánkó → A volume carefully designed to the last detail. The unique gradient color choice is perfectly in tune with the chosen cover illustration. The dimensions of the book, the typography, the edge painting are all consciously employed to make holding it a pleasure.

L2 → The rarely seen gradient cover, the endpapers and the edge painting attract attention but at the same time refer to the building of the Hungarian Pavilion. The tight hierarchy of the cover returns coherently in the inner page layouts.

Róza Tekla Szilágyi → My favourite cover in the entire competition, the gradient recalling the light reflected by the coated tiles and ceramic decorations of the pavilion. Furthermore, the size and proportions of the book make reading it really comfortable.

Valuska László → The Hungarian Pavilion has been present at the Venice Biennial, one of the most important art venues, since 1909. The book documenting this Hungarian presence has managed to reflect the architectural motifs of Géza Maróti’s building in its own design.
