Partizan Architecture was established in 2013 in Budapest. The studio formed by Zoltán Major and Péter Müllner.
One of the key ideas behind partizan architecture is that the designer’s perspective is not distant or abstract, but grounded in real, lived experience. In simple terms, the architect thinks not only as a designer, but also as a user, and shapes spaces with this mindset. From this point of view, we see future users as active participants in the design process as well, which is why it is important to give them real freedom to adapt and shape their environment. This does not mean, however, that our responsibility is reduced—on the contrary, it is our task to define the moments and conditions where such interventions can take place.
Research is a core part of our practice. Between 2018 and 2022, during our doctoral studies, we were able to deepen this work and build it into our design approach. Our goal is to develop reliable, up-to-date insights into contemporary ways of using space, and to translate this knowledge directly into our projects. We aim to understand and design spaces from the perspective of their future users, while also paying close attention to the social context in which our work is created. These two questions form the basis of our doctoral research as well.
