"I admit to Corbusier, the great architect, who said that the most skilful city in the world is New York, and the most beautiful city of Istanbul, and that's what I told him."

One hundred years ago, in January 1917, the first state-founded foreign research institute of Hungary, the Hungarian Scientific Institute of Constantinople, which is also the 100th anniversary of institutionalized Hungarian cultural diplomacy, began its operations. The institute, officially founded on November 21, 1916, was one of the major Hungarian foreign policy for the Balkans following the annexation of Bosnia, which was also successful in the circumstances of the World War. Until the end of November 1918, the Institute was attended by six scholars outside Antal Hekler's director. Among them was the young Kós.
Kós , who stayed in the Ottoman capital during the period from February 1917 until May 1918. During this time he prepared the map of the city and carried out observations on traditional Ottoman architecture, He studied the works of Master Sinan, made suggestions for the main guidelines for urban development, and, finally, all these in Istanbul . In a book summarized by the readers. The book will soon be published with the support of the Hungarian Institute of Istanbul and the Turkish publisher Yeditepe.
The exhibition, based on several years of archival research, opened at the Hungarian Institute in Istanbul on 9 February 2017 aims to pay tribute to the outstanding personality of Hungarian architecture and Transylvanian Hungarians Károly Kós and the founders and scholarships of the short-lived, yet pioneering Hungarian Scientific Institute of Constantinople before. This is done with three themes: The Architecht presents the life and work of Kós Kós, The second ( Stambul ) Kós gives an insight into Istanbul's activity, while the third ( The Institution ) is to present the history of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences of Constantinople for a year and a half. Let us do all this with the hope that the interested people will be able to gain insight into a previously unknown chapter of the 20th-century history of Turkish-Hungarian relations and Kós Károly's life story.
The exhibition was created thanks to the financial, professional and moral support of the Budapest Metropolitan Government, the Balassi Institute, the Archives of Budapest, the Szent István University, the Ybl Miklós Building Science Kara, the Hungarian National Archives, the Székely National Museum and the Kós family and the Budapest Historical Museum , The Kiscell Museum, The National Széchényi Library and the Fővárosi Szabó Ervin Library to cooperate in the preparation of the exhibition.
The exhibition is expected to be exhibited at several locations in Turkey during 2017.

Born as Károly Kosch in Temesvár, Austria-Hungary (now Timișoara, Romania), he studied engineering at the University of Budapest, and only afterwards turned towards architecture (graduating from the Budapest Architecture School in 1907).[1] Already during his studies and at the start of his career, he had a special interest for the historical and traditional folk architecture, and made study trips to Kalotaszeg and the Székely Land.
In 1914, at the start of World War I, Kós moved to Stana (Sztána). He was drafted the following year, but soon discharged on request from the Ministry of Culture. Between 1917 and 1918, he was sent on a study trip to Istanbul.
