Among his best-known design works are the Müpa in Budapest, the Gedeon Richter House, and the Nanshen Cultural and Sports Center in Shenzhen. He was the lead designer of the renovation of the Hungarian State Opera House. His works have been awarded several times with the architectural level award and the FIABCI award (International Real Estate Association).
Full member of the Hungarian Academy of Arts, vice-president of the Association of Hungarian Architects, founder-owner of the ZDA-Zobok Architects' Office. He has been a teacher at the University of Pécs since 2014.
According to Ars poetica, the architect "must be a polymath, he must understand a little about everything, he must constantly learn new professions. If you are planning a hospital, for example a doctor, you need to know what goes on during an operation so that you can put together a good operating room. In the same way, if he builds a concert hall, then he is an opera singer, if he builds an apartment, then he is a family member who has not yet been born."
Coming from an engineer-doctor-philosopher family, Gábor Zoboki's career is woven through his passion for the art of music.
From the beginning, his career has been characterized by large-scale, complex tasks. His cooperative tendency, his communication skills, his openness to the associated arts, and his cultural sophistication were an example for him, and at the same time a confirmation of the direction he had chosen for himself as a career path. His working method is characterized by a complex approach stemming from his personality: he interprets the architect's activity as an element of a larger system.
