In his welcoming speech Kornél Almássy, director of the organizer MÉD MDK recalled that György Fekete was "always ready to stand up for the cause of applied arts, more specifically the profession of interior design, and to debate with colleagues or politicians." He added that the late HAA president considered the new building of the Center, which already has an approved building permit, to be a matter of great importance, so "I am pleased to report to you and to him that we are already on the verge of implementation."
