Richter Centre reflects company's dynamism and community orientation. Designed by Zoboki Design and Architecture (ZDA), the new Richter Gedeon headquarters marks the beginning of a new era for the company. This building not only pays homage to Richter's history and tradition but also stands as an outstanding example of modern architecture, blending functionality, sustainability, and distinctive form. Richter's tradition and vision - The Richter Centre is located on the company's historical production site in Budapest, Hungary, that has been continuously expanded over the decades. Following a deliberate land use strategy, the company revitalizes its original factory sites, while gradually developing based on a long-term master plan created by ZDA 20 years ago. The new building, positioned centrally, next to the Chemical Research and Office Building, bridges the noble past of the company with its future developments.

In an old industrial building that was once a flourishing hub for world-famous inventions, Hungarian dance has found a new home. The former Ganz factory, which had its heyday at the end of the 19th century, was not just a symbol of Hungarian industry, but also a cradle for a generation of Hungarian scientists who lent extraordinary creative impetus to the world. The factory hall, now home to the National Dance Theatre, hosted the creative endeavours of internationally renowned engineers and scientists, and several defining inventions such as the transformer and the dynamo were conceived there. The new building is thus a forum where science and culture meet, where experimental genres, folk dance, contemporary dance, as well as classical ballet, are all given a stage. At the same time, the building is not only a cultural and artistic space, but also a meeting point in one of Budapest’s regenerated parks.

Shenzhen, situated on the border of Mainland China and Hong Kong, was a quiet town inhabited by fishermen and a modest population of 20,000 inhabitants four decades ago. Today it is a huge metropolis with over 15 million residents. Cities of this size tend to lose their human scale, becoming chaotic and spiritless, thus being difficult to live in. In the dynamic development of such cities as Shenzhen, the advances often ignored the cultural needs of the population within an emerging economic environment. It is especially true in cases like Shenzhen, where the cultural development didn’t follow the rhythm of economic growth. In Shenzhen, the places for communal or cultural exchange were limited to karaoke bars and shopping malls leaving a void in the domain of more sophisticated cultural venues.
