He had arrived as a fresh graduate and left as the director. KÖZTI and Smaraglay László had been mutually molding one another for the past four decades. It is partly due to his efforts that vocation and family life, professional work and the informal pleasures of life both have their place within KÖZTI. Retrospective talk.
Az elmúlt egy év a mi életünkben is különleges volt, és nem csak a pandémia miatt. Előző ügyvezetőnk 42 év után nyugdíjba vonult, akitől Smaraglay Gábor vette át a stafétát. Átalakítottuk a korábbi stúdiórendszert, és sajnos örökre búcsút kellett vennünk nagy hatású kollégánktól, Marosi Miklóstól.

Az építőipar robbanásszerű digitalizációja zajlik: a virtuális térben zajló folyamatoptimalizálás, a Building Information Management (BIM) átalakítja az ágazatot. Az építmény háromdimenziós modelljén alapuló információmenedzsment összeköti a teljes építőipari vertikumot; hatékonyabb tervezést, egyértelmű kommunikációt, pontosabb ütemezést, lényegesen kevesebb hibalehetőséget, valamint a kivitelezés során kisebb kockázatot jelent. Az első felhasználók között ott van az egyik legnagyobb magyar építésziroda, a Középülettervező Zrt. (KÖZTI) is, ahol a Puskás Aréna tervezése is BIM rendszerben folyt.

Reconstructions usually generate huge debates all over the world, let them be national historic monuments, old industrial buildings out of use, or outdated buildings built in the past 70 years.

According to Középülettervező Zrt. (KÖZTI), the number of reconstructions greatly increased in the past 15-20 years, not only in Hungary, but internationally as well.
