Gernot Lucas

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gernot Lucas (* 1938 in Hermeskeil ) is a German architect , interior designer and university professor .

Live and act

Lucas attended the Aloisius College in Bad Godesberg, where he was the victim of sexual abuse. From 1955 he was a guest student at the Institute for Art History at the University of Bonn , with Heinrich Lützeler and Herbert von Eine among others .

He then studied architecture at the University of Stuttgart : Diploma and scientific assistant at the chair of Prof. Wilhelm. His doctorate - (on school construction and comprehensive school planning) - as Dr.-Ing. he graduated from Professors Rolf Gutbier , Hanson, von Sydow. He then worked as a freelance architect and interior designer in the Rhineland. In 1969 he was appointed head of the architecture / interior design department at the Cologne Werkschulen (successor to Georg Maria Lünenborg , previously: Richard Riemerschmid ).

After the architecture departments of the Cologne factory schools closed in 1973 (and their relocation to Cologne-Deutz), he taught at the TH Köln in the department of architecture as a professor for “ design and architectural theory ”. There, Prof. Lucas mainly conveyed the subject of design to his students. According to him, he was “never particularly interested” in his second area of ​​responsibility, architectural theory. Perhaps that was the reason why he taught the students the theory of architecture so playfully. In the ranks of lecturers he was nevertheless “the contact point” for theory. He motivated the students very much to try everything out, to make sketches, to build models and, above all, "never to be satisfied with a job for more than a day". His lectures were always very well attended. He retired on July 31, 2003.
