Career
Career
Emil Belluš began his studies at the Technical University in Budapest in 1918, but completed them at the Czech Technical University in Prague in 1923. He then returned to Slovakia where he became a founding member of the Association of Slovak Artists (later the Slovak Architects Society, of which he was president from 1945 to 1953) and of the Slovak Rowing Club. He designed the clubhouse for the rowing club. While working in an international functionalist style, he was willing to modify it with classical elements, as can be seen in the Colonnade Bridge at Piešťany completed in 1932. His design for the head office of the Slovak National Bank (1938) showed the influence of Italian Rationalism. The annual architectural award of the Slovak Architects Society is named the Emil Belluš Prize in his memory.
