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)[reply]

Images

What about "The Bund seen from Pudong"? ATM, there are only images taken *from* the Bund!

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.

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)[reply]

Architectural styles

The article says the Bund has "Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque" architecture... other than being clearly false this is just historically impossible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ospeand (talk • contribs) 18:00, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated based on the descriptions of the individual buildings to the relevant revival styles, it seems that most of the buildings are described as "Eclecticist", though a few are clearly art deco. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 20:16, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Bund (Shanghai) → The Bund – The Shanghai area is the WP:PRIMARY topic for The Bund and a WP:RM should happen to determine a different consensus. – Niceguyedc ^{Go Huskies!} 21:36, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Niceguyedc: The Bund in Shanghai is famous, but there are many structures called bunds. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:39, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. The Shanghai area is the primary topic for The Bund and the hatnote will direct those seeking other topics to the DAB page. — AjaxSmack 05:23, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Construction dates

Article mentions almost no construction dates, not even in the list of buildings. - Jmabel | Talk 00:05, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Bund Finance Center

Hello editors. I'm assuming some of you live near The Bund. We really need a pic of The Bund Finance Center. Thanks!!!! Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:47, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Move

I guess this is an improvement over The Bund (Shanghai) but it's the Bund, not The Bund, "The Bund", or The Bund. There's no reason for an article there. See also Big Apple, Sun, Moon, WP:THE, etc. (I mean, there is The Buddha but that's just a silly mistake too. No one there is actually writing his name that way in the running text. They just overcompensated trying to move it from things like Siddhartha Gautama to the WP:ENGLISH WP:COMMONNAME.)

If people don't think this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Bund itself, then Bund (Shanghai) is still where this should go according to WP:THE. The Bund is a TV show or German newspaper. This isn't either. — LlywelynII 17:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
