Career

After finishing his studies in Berlin, he returned to Budapest to work under Alajos Hauszmann for fourteen years, during which time he took part in designing the New York Palace. In 1893 he entered into a partnership with Kálmán Giergl which resulted in many important commissions in the developing capital. Korb was awarded with the Greguss prize in 1924 and was admitted into the Royal Institute of British of Architects.[1]

gollark: At current AP times, it'll take about two and a half days to show up.
gollark: "Oh, I just got this great dragon... but its lineage is {olives/brimstones/something else which people don't like}... I'll need some of those to continue it..."
gollark: Yes. It's a great way to mildly infuriate people, like causing APocalypses.
gollark: Best use of CB prizes: only pair them with dragons people don't like, but then give out offspring very cheaply.
gollark: I prefer shimmerscales.
