In the history of building, Frigyes Feszl is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Frigyes Feszl as Hungarian architect (1821-1884).
Frigyes Feszl was born at Pest in 1821. His recorded nationality is Hungary.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as architect.
An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
That the work was built in Hungary shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Frigyes Feszl died in 1884, aged 63. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
