Description |
|
The Bank Center building in
central Budapest occupies a block defined
by Szabadság tér,
Hercegprimas St, Arany Janos St and Sas
St. This postmodern building,
designed by the practice of József Finta and
Partners, was one of the
first substantial office buildings of the
post-communist era. As its name
implies, most of the occupants are banks
including Citibank Europe, OTP Bank and
the Bank of China. A walkway bisects the building and a central courtyard is open to the sky. In essence it is composed of four towers arranged around this courtyard. The building is clad in marble, granite and glass. |
