Aladár Árkay

[1] Árkay gained his degree at the Budapest Technical University[1] where he studied under Ede Balló.

Later he formed a partnership with his father-in-law, Mor Kallina, and together they were responsible for the Directorate of Defence building in the Castle district (1896, since destroyed), the Buda Vigadó hall in Corvin Square (1896–97) and the St. Gellért memorial on Gellért Hill (1904–05).

His first major independently completed work was the Babocsay villa, which later became the Yugoslav embassy, in district VI of Budapest (1905).

He took part and won numerous competitions, such as that for the Győr theatre (1929) and the planning of Erzsébet avenue in the capital.

He was in the process of planning his magnum opus, the Városmajor Catholic Church in Budapest, when he died.
