The group of'the Young Ones!., ‘has taken the path also trodden by (Zoltán) Kodály and (Béla) Bartók, who found on it the one and only chance of creating the truly Hungarian version of contemporary music. Also, this is the path taken by Englishman Baillie Scott, the Scotsman Macintosh, American EL. Wright and Finnish architects Gesellius, Lindgren and Saarinen to resolve the stylistic problem of their national architecture: they all built this road on the basis of the traditions of their national past and what they could learn from the still living folk art of their people. This is what we accepted as our own philosophy, we, this small group of young architects back when we were students. We tried to accomplish our course assignments as well as extracurricular jobs in this spirit, with more or less effectiveness in terms of form and content!KOS199I:SSU Portrait of Dezső Zrumeczky
