[edit] Art Deco or Art Nouveau
Wasn't the Bund one of the remaining refuges for Art Deco or Art Nouveau architecture?
- There are a few art deco/art nouveau buildings, but most of the older bank buildings, esp the most famous, HSBC building, are in classical/neo-classical styles.--Sumple 23:24, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Images
What about "The Bund seen from Pudong"? ATM, there are only images taken *from* the Bund!
[edit] Pronunciation
Does anybody know how to pronounce "bund" in "The Bund".Is it pronounced "bund" as u in "up", or as it in "put"?
'Bund' as in bundle of joy.
[edit] P & T Architects (Palmer & Turner)
Palmer and Turner built most of the famous buildings on the Bund: the HSBC Building, the Peace Hotel, the Yokohama Specie Bank, the Bank of China Building, etc. Yet there isn't a page on them. Does anyone know anything about this firm and what became of them? --Sumple (Talk) 10:57, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
