One of my favourite Architects: Erick van Egeraat.
I have seen one of his buildingsin Warsaw, Poland: the Netherland Embassy, and mentioned it in my last post. I liked it a lot, especially the fusion of secular building and nature, which caught my eye. During my trip to Budapest I noticed the stunning ING Building in front of the 'Hero's Square', in which he perfectly integrates the building into the environment, as you can see in the photos. As I read Erick van Egeraat has won the international competition to design the Budpest City Hall. His idea combines restoration of the existing 18th century baroque building and new, futuristic wings in order to create a contemporary Main Square. I'm really curious about that one.
