Zaha Hadid has designed a landmark building for Szervita Square in the historic centre of Budapest, Hungary (via www.hg.hu).
The mixed-use building, for ORCO Property Group, will replace a communist-era car park and will contain shops, restaurants, offices and a nightclub.
Hungarian site www.hg.hu has more details of the project here.
Orco Property Group is an Eastern European property developer that is also behind the Zlota 44 residential tower in Warsaw by Daniel Libeskind.
The building is unique has a new style and for the location nevermind
what a wonderfull building
Hola a todos.. muy interesantes las opiniones. Yo opino que si es una ciudad con otro estilo arquitectonico por la epoca o cual sea la razon por la cual se contruyo asi como en las imagenes es hermosa, pienso que si se pudiese hacer algun edificio respetando la armonia de formas del entorno seria lo mejor. No se puede decir que este proyecto sea una mierda. No lo es… es quiza contrastante pero es el estilo de Zaha. Modernista e innovador. Creo que a pesar de todo se merece respeto, al fin y al cabo es Arte la Arquitectura. Pero lo tradicional tiene su propia belleza y nada que envidiar al moderno. Siendo las dos corrientes hermosas coinsido que esta maravilla deberia ir en algun lugar mas apartado… Excelente la idea pero es como invadir patrimonio de la humanidad, esa impresion me da.
Muchas Gracias…
wow…
Funtastic…

IM NOT AN ARQUITECT… IM STUDENT OF INNOVATION ENTREPREUNISHIP. AND I CAN SAY THAT SHE IS AMAZING I HAVENT SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SOME OF THE PLACES IN MEXICO HAS MODERN STYLE BUT NOT LIKE THIS ONE…. CONGRATULATION TO HER__
Although I generally like Zaha’s architecture, I must agree with the criticism expressed by others here. Zaha likes bold architectural statements, but sometimes one should be more humble and respect the historical context. Have we lost the ability to build cities, instead of fashionable monuments? Every architect dreams of building a monument that will last, but does Zaha need this anymore? She is already a celebrity, so more humbleness wouldn’t do any harm to her success. Maybe she thinks that this is what the clients expect of her: Sculptural monuments! Maybe the problem isn’t her, but the client with his inappropriate expectations. Maybe Zaha should not have done this job at all.
