Ilona Nanasay worked as the leading designer of public housing for the Hungarian Ministry
of Housing from 1978-1991. In 1991, she opened her own architectural practice to design
houses for private clients.
This collection consists of architectural drawings and photographs of projects created by
Ilona Nanasay between the years 1978-2003. There are black and white photocopies of plans
for competition, residential, and commercial projects, most of which are in Budapest,
Hungary. Some photographs show completed projects, while other images are computer generated
and may be models of unbuilt projects. Most images are in color. Nanasay's curriculum vitae
is also included in the collection. All materials are in Hungarian, and translations of the
project names can be found on the reverse side of each project sheet.
The collection is arranged in four folders, one containing her curriculum vitae, the other
three holding her competition, residential, and commercial projects. The contents of each
folder are arranged chronologically with undated material at the end.
