Return of the “Kádár-cubes”?

napi.hu: In order to support residential building projects and to “improve the quality of our constructed environment” the government plans to re-introduce the standardised residential house plans reminiscent of the “Kádár-cubes” of the socialist era. A “national standard plan catalogue” comprising plans with characteristic architectural features of the respective region will be compiled for prospective home owners. Standardised plans will be cheap and buyers will be freed from the hassle of plan approval proceedings: a simple “acknowledgement procedure” will suffice. The Hungarian Chamber of Architects is happy; its members are not. Architectural plans will be accompanied by a technical documentation including an itemised list of materials and man-hour requirements. The new scheme will apply to residential buildings with a floor-space not exceeding 160 sq. m. and three stories (basement, ground floor, attic).
