Ferdinand and Ferdinand Architects Profile
Our architectural office was established by the three of us in 1994.
Our company name was Secrys Építészeti Tervező és Szolgáltató Bt. at that time. We switched to Secrys Építészeti Tervező Kft. (Secrys Architectural Design, Inc.) in 1996 (owners: Ágnes Sebestyén, Csaba Ferdinánd, Árpád Ferdinánd) as to follow the growth of our firm.
To emphasize the importance of our names we established a new company in 1998, named Ferdinánd és Ferdinánd Építésziroda Kft. (Ferdinand and Ferdinand Architects, Inc.) (Partners: Csaba Ferdinánd, Árpád Ferdinánd), however we have kept on fulfilling our previous commitments in the frame of our previous firm.
Our office is equipped with ten personal computers, four professional printers and a plotter. We utilize a 100 Mbytes/sec internal network to share our projects. These features help us to keep high standards in our work, and delivering strictly on schedule. Our work is acknowledged by the Treasury Property Departement and well-established private investors among our clients.

What is the importance of Architectural Tourism? What is the importance of traveling especially for architects and for humans in general?
However for an architect the journeys he makes are simply medical relieves to flee away from the daily working stress. It's important that you don't forget to swich off your mobile.
At the end, can you please provide your personal proposal for 10 buildings (constructed and visitable) which you think as the most important worldwide that someone must visit anyway?
