CZIGLER Győző élete és munkássága - The Life and CEuvre of Győző CZIGLER Kalmár Miklós

Public buildings designed by Czigler are classic examples of eclectic mass formation and detailing. One of his best known and significant projects is the main building of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office which he designed by making advantage of the spectacular faculties of the corner site: it is a prestigious and practical development with a roof superstructure resembling a cupola.

The Law Court Palace and Prison of Sátoraljaújhely (1900) is one of the most significant projects Czigler had in the countryside. He was commissioned to design it after winning a tender. Making use of the dynamism of Neo-Baroque, the two-storey building with three projections was built with the ambition to represent governmental or executive power, expressing its significance.

In 1896 Frigyes Korányi called politicians' attention to the sutterers of comsumption in (TB) Hungary. As a result, Queen Elizabeth Sanatorium was built for their treatment after designs by Czigler along Pihenő (Budakeszi) Road. The building was suited to receive 116 patients on its 84-00 square metre landscaped area in two- and threestorey pavilions with loggias.

The Technical University and the Széchenyi Bath complex, both built in Budapest, are probably the most important designs in Czigler's varied architectural oeuvre. Besides, he was the first architect to work out the concept for the present-day Campus of the Technical University (District XI. Műegyetem Quay) including the configuration of its

buildings as well as the designs of the pavilions housing the chemistry department (Ch, 1904) and that of physics (F, 1905), which was built later on the site of the Joseph Technical University in Lágymányos.

Already famous for boring artesian wells, mining engineer Vilmos Zsigmondy found thermal water of appr. 60 °C in 1877 near Városligeti (City Park) Lake by an almost

1.000 metre deep-well. Soon a pump-room and also a public bath was built nearby. In 1884 when a final solution was to be found Czigler was commissioned to design the new Thermal and Public Bath complex on the site. His ornate Neo-Renaissance Széchenyi Baths was however only built after his death between 1909 and 1913. The delayed and long-lasting construction was finished with the contribution and participation of Ede Dvorak (a close associate of Czigler), Kálmán Gerster as well as Géza Maróti,
