maria 7 Posted May 11, 2007 This is a building in Budapest, Doh᮹ Str. 22-24, by the architect J�zsef V᧳, built in 1908, about which it is special that it stays the closest to the style of Otto Wagner in the Hungarian Secession. The decorative elements are cubistic, and V᧳ displays enthusiasm towards the technical aestetics as machine aesthetics. The rythm of the facade comes from the ceramic nails fixings the ceramics plates. The ship shape at the corner marks the entrance - this is a volume effect. The side facades have the dynamic of waves, counterpointed by a non-interrupted balcony at the last level. There are columns without capitels up to the third floor. Link to comment
