The building from the 70’s was originally meant to be a “computer”, a special industrial house with ventilation and climate façade to host large scale computing machines. Later the shell worked well as an archive for the TU of Budapest. Recently it is an abandoned building, hopefully to be turned into a residential loft in the heart of Buda. Our proposal won “purchased” award on the competition.
