Text description provided by the architects. Budapest Corvinus University, Hungary's oldest institution dedicated to economics, is located on the Pest side of Budapest in beautiful 19th-century buildings. The university had long aspired to expand with a modern building, but this wasn't feasible within the dense urban fabric of Pest. Finally, the former State Administration College on the opposite bank of the Danube, within easy walking distance, was selected for redevelopment. Recycling the existing structure allowed the building to be constructed economically, sustainably, and in a forward-thinking spirit, resulting in one of the country's most advanced university buildings.
