I first saw the church of Mu\u013ea (Hungarian: R\u00e1r\u00f3sm\u00falyad) in 2015, when I was photographing the new bridge over Ipoly River. I was immediately captivated by the church\u2019s uniqueness. This experience prompted me to start photographing Istv\u00e1n Medgyaszay\u2018s buildings. From his 43 known works, I have been able to photograph 42. I have read all the available literature on him, contacted his family, and reviewed the buildings\u2019 blueprints. I found a building that had never before been photographed. I visited Medgyaszay\u2018s buildings not only in Hungary, but also in Slovakia and Romania (in Banat and Transylvania). Unfortunately, his building under No. 8 Dorottya Street in Budapest was demolished and several of his important buildings are likely to meet the same fate: two studio houses in G\u00f6d\u00f6ll\u0151 belonging to S\u00e1ndor Nagy and Le\u00f3 Belmonte, the Sporthotel \/ Pagoda in M\u00e1trah\u00e1za, and the Rusz house in Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s.
\nHis theaters in Sopron and Nagykanizsa have been renovated in a worthy fashion, and the restoration of Veszpr\u00e9m theater will begin soon. The states of his family houses vary, some are in great condition, while others have been badly neglected. \/P\u00e9ter Gyukics\/<\/p>\n
