Ernst Plischke
Ernst Anton Plischke (born June 26, 1903 in Klosterneuburg near Vienna, † May 23, 1992 in Vienna ) was an Austrian architect .
Life
Plischke attended elementary school from 1904 to 1914 and from 1914 to 1918 the Lower Austrian state secondary school and the BG / BRG Klosterneuburg in Klosterneuburg. He then studied from 1919 to 1923 at the Kunstgewerbeschule Vienna and from 1923 to 1926 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Oskar Strnad , Josef Frank and Peter Behrens . In 1926 he completed his studies in the master class of Behrens with a diploma. From 1924 he worked in Heinrich Schmid and Hermann Aichinger's studio and as a construction manager in his father Anton Plischke's company in Traismauer . He also worked from 1925 to 1926 in the studio of Gottlieb Michal , the Viennese senior building officer. Business trips and training trips took Plischke to Düsseldorf , Greece and Istanbul . In 1928 he founded his own architecture office. In 1932 he received his license to become a civil architect.
Plischke stayed several times in New York, where he worked in the studios of Ely Jacques Kahn and Albert Buchman . In March 1939 he emigrated to Wellington , New Zealand , where he initially worked as a community planner for the Ministry of Housing . After the end of the war, he and Cedric Harold Firth founded the Plischke & Firth studio in Wellington , which existed until 1959. He then worked with Bob Fantl in a construction office. In 1963 he returned to Vienna, as he was appointed full professor for architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Plischke is known among other things as one of the most internationally known Austrian architects because of his émigré biography. His often cubic buildings are characterized on the one hand by a lightness and transparency that are very far removed from classical Austrian architecture. On the other hand, he has enriched the International Style with a more complex repertoire of forms. As a representative of humane architecture, Plischke always viewed his buildings in connection with the needs of the client and the local context.
In addition to architecture, Plischke was also successful as a furniture designer.
His grave is in the Gersthofer Friedhof (group 2, row 7, no. 67).
