Gerold Wiederin
Gerold Wiederin (* 1961 in Feldkirch ; † October 14, 2006 ) was an Austrian architect.
Life
Wiederin studied at the Vienna University of Technology from 1983 to 1989 . From 1986 to 1993 he worked for the architects Herzog & de Meuron in Basel (Switzerland). In 1993 he started his own business in Vienna. The first construction to be completed was the Maria Locherboden night pilgrimage chapel above Mötz near Innsbruck, a highly regarded night pilgrimage chapel , a concrete frame construction covering the altar area with a work by the artist Helmut Federle in the back wall made from chunks of colored glass . In 2014 the chapel was spoiled by an extension. The collaboration with Federle and the building material colored glass was repeated in other projects by Reinin, for example in “Forum 3”, the first structure on the new Novartis campus in Basel-St. Johann.
Wiederin held a visiting professorship for sacred architecture at the Technical University of Munich as well as teaching assignments at the Accademia di Architettura in Mendrisio (Switzerland) and at the Institute for Architectural Studies at the Technical University of Vienna.
With his radically clear designs he achieved numerous successes in competitions, of which only a few were realized.
