Life

Emil Belluš completed an eight-year high school in Banská Bystrica and was drafted into the Hungarian Landwehr at the age of 18 . After his discharge from military service in 1918, he began his studies at the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University in Budapest , but after the establishment of Czechoslovakia moved to the Faculty of Architecture at ČVUT in Prague . He began his career as an architect as a graduate of the ČVUT with the project of the People's House in Banská Bystrica in 1924 and founded his studio in Bratislava in 1925.

Belluš was involved in the establishment of the Slovak Technical University (now the Slovak Technical University) and taught there from 1939 to 1970 as a professor. After his last work, the Mladá garda dormitory in Bratislava , he only dealt with theory and educational activities.
