DU�AN SAMUEL JURKOVI�
Dusan Jurkovic itself was a major representative of our Art Nouveau architecture. He created a very distinctive & quot; National Style & quot ;, significantly influenced by folk architecture. I was looking for inspiration in the English Arts and Crafts movement. He was known primarily for its completely original buildings on the Beskydy Pustevny. Chatou Mam�nka, cozy mountain on Radho�ti, buildings in Luha�ovice (Jurkovi��v bathhouse Jest�eb� bathhouse, swimming), Civic Savings Bank building in Basketball, residential apartment buildings in the Dvorak Street, Glasgow, Hell restaurants in Nove Mesto nad Metuj� and family house in Prague-Bubenec in Slavickova street. He is also the author of the monumental mounds and the mausoleum of Milan Rastislav Stefanik on the parallel bars. & nbsp;

These works have become a major model for the creative design of a new gold and silver medals issued to 60th anniversary of the death of Dusan Jurkovic.
