Already at the age of thirty, he won the competition for the construction of the complex on Kamenné námestie in the heart of Bratislava city center. In 1961 he became the chief designer of the State Project Institute of Commerce in Brno, Studio Bratislava.

Icons – Ferdinand Milučký / Dorota Vlnová / Slovakia 2020 / 26 min – One of the most important architects of Slovak architecture of the second half of the 20th century. He devoted himself to exhibition activity and later designed cultural and social buildings. His works are characterized by geometric abstraction, an overlap with fine art and precise details.

Icons – Dušan Kuzma / Daniel Svoreň / Slovakia 2020 / 26 min – He is one of the most expressive Slovak architects of his generation.
