The control room of Kelenföld Power Plant is one of the most extraordinary interiors of Hungarian industrial architecture. The control room from the 1930s, with its futuristic, modernist, Art Deco-influenced design, monumental instruments, marble cladding, and brass switchboards simultaneously evokes the era of technical optimism and the aesthetics of interwar modernism.

The central control desk and the instruments following the curved wall were not merely functional elements: through the formal language of the period they embodied engineering knowledge itself. The control room remains both an industrial heritage monument and a visually emblematic site that has become one of the symbols of Budapest’s modernization.
