In 2015 the fifth Budapest100 program was organized, a civil urban festival to celebrate
all one-hundred-year old houses in the city, opening their doors, inspiring new joiners
and offering colorful programs. The buildings may be explored from the basement to the
attic while learning about their past, history and residents.
This series show the hanging corridors from the inner courtyards of rental apartments
which were typical in Budapest around the beginnig of the 20th century. At the end of the
19th century the need for accomodation grew exponentially, and to satisfy this need, they
started to fully surround the construction plot to maximize rentable apartment numbers,
resulting in small inner courtyards. These apartments were mostly rented by working class
tenants, the flats, especially those on the ground floor or at the back of the buildings
were often small dark and without any commodities.
