He is recorded as architect, stonemason and designer.
His work is associated with german renaissance.
His best-known building is Vladislav Hall. An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
That the work was built in Germany shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Benedikt Rejt died in 1534, aged 80. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
