Interview with architect, ethnographer Kerner Gábor (born 1951, Miskolc, Hungary). He grew up Miskolc and as a teenager began working at the Miskolc City Planning Department. He moved to Budapest (circa 1970) and was hired to work at the Hungarian Historical Building Protection Agency, where he worked for two decades. During this time he was also an avid participant in the dance house movement. In 1989 Kerner moved to the village of Kővágóörs in Western Hungary’s Káli Basin where he had bought and restored a peasant house. He lived there until 2017. In Kővágóörs he was active in local government and numerous projects for preserving local architecture. There is discussion of being considered a “newcomer” in the village milieu. Now he lives in the town of Keszthely. He describes a recent project surrounding his new publication co-authored with Szilágyi Mária (2019) on traditional architecture of the larger Szeged region which extends into three countries: Hungary, Serbia and Romania.
