NBG Building / Vipeth, Thessaloniki, Greece
New National Bank of Greece Office Building in Thessaloniki / Aris Konstantinidis Architecture Award
The building represents the prototype of a series of new buildings that express the new image of the Bank exhibited also in its recently completed New Headquarters in Athens. The design aims both at a strong presence and a minimalist look, based on clarity of geometry and subtle design gestures having to do with the distinction between a solid mass, its boundary and the issue of transparency.
