Beschreibung
The architect is at all times also an artist. How otherwise would hebe able to tame the three-dimensionality of space and subdue theurges of physics and structural mechanics with the creations of hisfantasy? This creativity is however mostly restricted purely to itsown field.Rob Krier is an exception. Since the beginning of his career inconstruction, he has always seen his love of art as a vocation ¿one which he nurtures parallel to his work. Fine art should stand indialogue with architecture and it is Krier's ambition to have iconographicthemes brought into the latter, so that they might speakequally to both the occupants of a building and to bystanders,moving them to thoughtful reflection.In his Pictorial Journal 1954¿1971, Rob Krier describes how histwin passion for fine art and architecture emerged. Born into ahousehold of gifted artists and craftsmen, he came into contactwith art and architecture as a very young boy and took his own firststeps in painting and sculpture in his early years. His enthusiasmfor the architecture of Rome cemented his determination to becomean architect. Krier tells of his grammar-school years in Echternachand his university studies in Munich in words just as enthralling ashis first taste of professional life with Oswald Mathias Ungers andFrei Otto. His autobiographical notes are accompanied by numeroussketches, drawings and sculptures, which were produced duringthis period and in which the author¿s multifaceted experiencesfind artistic manifestation.Born and raised in Luxembourg, Krier moved to Vienna after havingstudied in Munich and worked for Oswald Mathias Ungers andFrei Otto. After teaching posts in Stuttgart and Lausanne, he wasa professor at the Technische Universität in Vienna from 1976 to1998 and, in 1986, held a guest professorship at Yale University inNew Haven, Mass. Krier has developed urban-design concepts forStuttgart, Vienna, Berlin, Amiens, Montpellier, Leeds, Gothenburg,Lodz, Amsterdam, Den Haag and many other cities. Projects withwhich he was first able to translate his vision of a spatial concept,such as Rauchstrasse in Berlin, Breitenfurterstrasse in Vienna orRitterstrasse with Schinkelplatz in Berlin, repeatedly found theirplace in international publications.
