ABK Architects - Background

Paul Koralek worked with Marcel Breuer in New York. He formed the architecture practice Ahrends Burton and Koralek in 1961. Paul Koralek graduated from the London AA in 1956.

Ahrends Burton Koralek were the architects of the National Gallery Extension Proposal infamously slated by Prince Charles as a ‘carbuncle’ back in the eighties. ABK lost the project - The National Gallery (off Trafalgar Square, London), went on to be designed by architects Venturi Rauch Brown.
