Looking for Laszlo
A documentary that follows the life of Hungarian architect Laszlo Hudec and how he came to design several famous buildings across Shanghai after fleeing from capture by the Russian Army in 1916. His most notable works in Shanghai include the Park Hotel, the Grand Theatre, and the post-modern ‘Green House’. Hudec explored a variety of styles during his career, from neo-classicism to art deco and more modern style buildings, all of which have added a distinct character to the Shanghai cityscape.
