Szilárd Zielinski belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Szilárd Zielinski as architect (1860–1924).
Szilárd Zielinski was born at Mátészalka in 1860. His recorded nationality is Hungary. He trained at Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
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, civil engineer and university teacher.
Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
Recognition followed: Hungarian Heritage Award.
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.
Szilárd Zielinski died in 1924, aged 64. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
