Fence Designs in the Legacy of Lajos Pákei

Summary/Abstract: Fence designs in the legacy of Lajos Pákei Fences and gates, which delimit building sites and also serve as entrances to buildings, can be considered incidental products of building design. However, like every small detail, they also contribute to the overall picture of the architectural creation, introducing it, helping us to gradually perceive it, and making a first impression on us when we enter through them. For this reason, our monument protection laws quite correctly extend their protective coverage to them as well. Fence design is not a defining segment of Lajos Pákei’s (1853–1921) architectural oeuvre, but, like the buildings he designed, they too have their own history, which can help us understand their importance and commit ourselves to their preservation. This article presents a few of these fence stories, thereby commemorating some of them.
