M\u00f3nika Pilkhoffer, an associate history professor with the University of P\u00e9cs, has also established her fame as an art historian. In her latest publication she analyses the oeuvre Adolf Lang (1848\u20131913) with special regard to historicism (revivalist styles). A starting point for this was her research into two public buildings of the architect located in P\u00e9cs. Born in Prague, the architect had German and Jewish ancestors, he was a student of a prestigious Vienna-based architect, Heinrich Ferstel, who later on found him a lecturer\u2019s position on more than one occasion. As a result of thorough and long research work into the topic, this monography presents the architect\u2019s biography, main projects and less successful buildings, designs that remained in blueprint, his stylistic relations and associations, which greatly contributes to place Adolf Lang in the position he well deserves in the history of Hungarian architecture in the age of the dual monarchy.<\/p>\n
