Dušan Jurkovič (born August 23, 1868 in Turá Lúka, Austria-Hungary ; today a district of Myjava , Slovakia ; † December 21, 1947 in Bratislava ) was a Slovak architect .

Life

Dušan Jurkovič attended the evangelical school in Brezov , then the Hungarian municipal school in Šamorín and the grammar school in Sopron . From 1884 to 1889 he studied architecture at the State Trade School in Vienna with Professor Rudolf Feldscharek.

Dušan Jurkovič is best known for his buildings in which he combined elements of Art Nouveau with Wallachian folk architecture . While still a student he worked in Vsetín with the architect Michal Urbánek , with whom he visited the National Exhibition of Folk Art in Prague in 1891 . From 1892 he devoted himself to the study of Wallachian wooden architecture and designed a Wallachian village for the folk art exhibition in Prague in 1895, where he also met Mikoláš Aleš . In 1899 he started his own business as an architect in Brno . In 1903 he married the industrialist's daughter Božena Bartelmus (1883–1965). The couple had three sons.

After the establishment of Czechoslovakia, he settled in Bratislava in 1920. In 1929 he was made a full member of the Czech Academy of Science and Art ; the Comenius University awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1938.
