NOT-SO-FANTASTIC ARCHITECTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM
Last week, our colleagues took part in another career orientation day entitled NOT-SO-FANTASTIC ARCHITECTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM, presenting the designing profession to the interested students of Babits Mihály Gimnázium.
In the first part of the presentation, they briefly summarised what subjects and knowledge to focus on if you wanted to study architecture, what university life was like. In the second part, they described what you could do as an architect and presented a specific project that our firm had designed. The presenting colleagues were:
Lilla Szmilkó, recent architectural graduate and BIM expert. She works in one of the newest fields in the construction industry, Building Information Modelling (BIM). She supports the design process by managing computer models and information databases.
Kamilla Zámbó and Dániel Dobszai, designers and architects They are involved in the technical and creative design of buildings and assist contractors on construction sites with technical and architectural design. They are also responsible for coordinating with the co-designing engineers (e.g. structural engineers, mechanical and electrical designers) and consulting with clients.We had the opportunity to participate in a truly complex orientation day at the grammar school and we are confident that our personal presentation has been an inspiration for the students involved and that more of them will choose a career in design.

From idea to impact
At IN-EX, we believe that our greatest asset is the knowledge, experience and curiosity of our people. The Innovation Hub was created to ensure that our engineers’ ideas do not remain isolated suggestions: we give them space, develop them together, and take initiatives that create real value all the way through to implementation.
Structural Challenges of an Automated Warehouse System and a BIM-Based Solution
Our project serves as a good example of how adapting existing industrial buildings to modern technologies can present a complex engineering challenge. The implementation of the automated high-bay warehouse system involved not only a technological conversionbut also the adaptation of an existing reinforced concrete hall structure to new operational, structural, and fire safety requirements.
New Technology, Existing Structure: A Steel Structural Solution for the Conversion of an Automated High-Bay Warehouse
During the interior conversion of a high-bay warehouse attached to a manufacturing plant, it became necessary to install a state-of-the-art automated storage system. In the first phase of the project, we were commissioned to assess, at the conceptual design stage, whether the existing structural framework was suitable for accommodating the new technological system and to determine what structural modifications would be required to implement the conversion.
One Office, One Model: The Benefits of 3D Design and Multidisciplinary Collaboration
STUDIO IN-EX is a multidisciplinary design studio where almost every design discipline is represented under one roof. Every day, our colleagues experience the benefits of having designers from different disciplines work side by side, within a shared closed BIM environment and in the same office. What are these benefits in practice? We spoke to Lilla Vámos, one of our low-voltage systems designers, about her experience.
Case Study: Saving on Investment Costs Through Smart Warehouse Design
We believe that the investment cost of a project can be influenced to a significant extent during the design phase. For this reason, our approach goes beyond simply meeting the applicable requirements. We also investigate alternative technical solutions that can provide the same level of technical performance and safety while resulting in lower investment costs.
Model Checking Is Not About Finding Errors
In model-based design, a BIM model is no longer just a 3D representation. A well-structured model contains geometry, information, and discipline-specific relationships in a single source of truth. It drives drawings, quantity take-offs, schedules, equipment lists, technical data deliverables, and serves as the common platform for multidisciplinary coordination.
