Biography
Dušan Kuzma was a Slovak architect and educator. He studied architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, where he was gradually under the pedagogical supervision of Eugen Kramár, Emil Belluš, and Vladimír Karfík. During his studies, he spent his summer internship with Auguste Perret in Paris. He graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in 1952 and spent the next two years as a teaching assistant to Prof. Emil Belluš. From 1954 to 1960, he worked in state administration as the head of the architecture and construction department. From 1960, he was the head of the Department of Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, which he himself founded. During his creative and pedagogical career at the Academy, he systematically pursued the connection between architecture and visual arts. His relationship with sculptural forms and his desire for a more expressive language of architecture were most prominently manifested in his most significant work, the Memorial to the Slovak National Uprising in Banská Bystrica.
