Abstract
Fülep, Lajos (1885-1970) - Hungarian philosopher, art historian. One of the dominant, though partly forgotten, figures in 20th century Hungarian art philosophy and art history. Some experts regard his oeuvre as a being dated, and for this reason consider it unnecessary to study his work however there are a number who consider him ``the creator of modern Hungarian art history´´, and the real founder of the methodological approach called ``Kunstgeschichte als Geistesgeschichte´´ (art history as the history of ideas/spirit), even preceding the works of Max Dvorak in this field. This paper looks at his writings on architecture and on art philosophy related to architecture. The titles in order of appearance: The role of the memory in the artistic creation (1911), Hungarian Architecture (1918), Expedience and art in the architecture (1944), A great opportunity in the rebuilding of Budapest and the country (1948).

András Szalai Department of for History of Architecture and of Monument Preservation, BME, H-1521 Budapest Muegyetem rkp. 1-3., Hungary e-mail: Lajos Fülep (1885-1970) art historian and art philosopher, is a dominant figure in Hungarian art philosophy of the 20th century, who compared to the significance of his oeuvre, has been somewhat forgotten
Of whom there are fewer, are of the opinion that he was “the creator of modern Hungarian art history” and at the same time the real founder of “Kunstgeschichte als Geistesgeschichte”, preceding the work of Max Dvorák that was developing in the period around 1910 [15]
It seems that this architectural identity, rooting in the ground of concreteness and being realized in existence, fell prey to the approach of modern times formed by the mesmerization of utopias and focusing on the technical progress and the concept of innovation
Summary
The ideas of physical space and time are important in the creation of the artistic form, just as the extension and duration – meaning the content (durée) – are essential. In order to create the expression (and the artistic form), the first, extension and succession/durée, have to go through the second, through absolute space and time.
