Produktbeschreibung
In his contribution to the European Embankment project in St.Petersburg, Krier recently demonstrated the power of architectureand fine art to cross-fertilise. The architects in charge of the urbandevelopment of this district are Sergei Tchoban and Evgeny Gerasimov.Krier designed the façade for a 132-metres long building onthe Newa riverbank - one that looks across the water onto therear façade of the Hermitage. The vibrancy of the architecture isenhanced by its sculptural ornamentation based on the Balzactheme, 'The Human Comedy'. In this regard, Krier modelled morethan 50 figures in white clay, as well as around 65 linear metres ofreliefs. The short poems that comment on the sculptures also centreon the theme of mankind and its interrelationships in society.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.
