Emil Belluš

Bratislava - 35 years ago, on December 14, 1979, the Slovak architect, urban planner and leading figure of functionalism Emil Belluš passed away. He is the author of a number of remarkable buildings, among which the most famous is the Colonnade Bridge in Piešťany, which, along with the Crematorium in Bratislava designed by Ferdinand Milučký, has been classified by the International Union of Architects as one of the most interesting buildings in the world.
    Belluš's buildings are scattered almost all over Slovakia, with several located in Bratislava. In addition to the Slovak University of Technology, where he worked as a teacher for more than three decades, notable examples include the New Town Hall in Primaciálne Square, the former Czechoslovak National Bank, the rowing club in Petržalka, and the Děvín hotel.
    The architect's name is associated with a prestigious award that has been granted since 1990 by the Union of Slovak Architects and the Fund for Fine Arts to Slovak architects for significant lifetime achievements.
