Abstract

Beginning in the early 1950s, North Korea and Hungary forged a friendship in anticipation of building a new socialist world. In 1954, a team of Hungarian architects led by Emil Zöldy (1913–82) travelled to Pyongyang to design a broad spectrum of buildings and spaces in collaboration with North Korean architects and workers. Separate groups of Hungarian experts were also commissioned to design factories and plants in provincial North Korean cities such as Kusŏng. This essay examines how these large-scale construction projects operated on the ground, including some of the fissures and give-and-take of the friendship that was built between the Korean and Hungarian comrades. Their designs and construction projects, we argue, concretized and cemented the ephemeral and contingent experiences of socialist friendship between Korea and Hungary, even if its memory has been subjected to erasure in both the North Korean and Hungarian contexts.

《期待中的建筑:20世纪50年代匈牙利和朝鲜之间建立社会主义友谊
从20世纪50年代初开始,北韩和匈牙利在建立社会主义新世界的期待下结下了友谊。1954年,由Emil Zöldy(1913-82)领导的匈牙利建筑师团队前往平壤,与朝鲜建筑师和工人合作设计了一系列建筑和空间。另外,还委托匈牙利专家小组设计朝鲜地方城市(Kusŏng)的工厂和工厂。这篇文章考察了这些大型建设项目是如何在地面上运作的,包括韩国和匈牙利同志之间建立的友谊的一些裂痕和让步。我们认为,他们的设计和建设项目具体化并巩固了朝鲜和匈牙利之间短暂而偶然的社会主义友谊经历,即使它的记忆在朝鲜和匈牙利的背景下都被抹去了。
