The column that commemorates 120 outstanding architects presents Hungarian artists who came from many directions. Before official architecture training began in Hungary, builders were licensed by their guild, and later received training in engineering. Many of these professionals came from abroad, though there were more and more Hungarians from the second third of the 19th century on. In his seminal The History of Hungarian Architecture (1961) Jenő Rados sought to establish a way to determine which of those 18th and 19th-century architects who came first from Italy, and then from Austria and Germany, could be considered Hungarian. The criterion he applied was how long they lived in Hungary at the time their chief works were built. He even Magyarized their surnames, and this is how we remember them now. Each of the most important Hungarian architects of the period 1750–1950 is represented on the memorial tree with a key work.
