Gustav Peichl
Gustav Peichl (born March 18, 1928 in Vienna , Austria ; † November 17, 2019 there ) was an Austrian architect , university professor , author and cartoonist. Under the pseudonym Ironimus , he drew caricatures for Die Presse , Süddeutsche Zeitung and ORF .
Life
From 1938 Peichl attended the high school for boys in Mährisch-Trübau and from 1943 to 1944 the Federal Trade School in Vienna-Mödling, department of building construction. After graduating, he returned to Mährisch-Trübau and was a technical draftsman at the municipal building office until 1947. After graduating from the State Trade School in Linz in 1949, he studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna until 1953 ; among other things he was a student of Clemens Holzmeister . From 1952 to 1954 Peichl worked in Roland Rainer's studio .
In 1955 he opened his own architecture office; In 1991 the Peichl & Partner atelier was founded and in 2002 Peichl & Partner ZT was re-established with Rudolf Weber .
From 1973 to 1996 he was professor and head of the master school for architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and from 1987 worked for several years as rector.
Peichl lived in a house he designed himself in the 19th district (Himmelstrasse) in Vienna. He was married (his wife died in 2013) and has two sons and a daughter, Markus (journalist, 2003–2007 editor-in-chief of Reinhold Beckmann's talk show ) and Sebastian (diploma in communications, former director of the design agency ART + COM , Berlin) and Ina , set designer and costume designer .
Act
In 1964 Peichl founded the magazine Bau - Schrift für Architektur und Städtebau with Hans Hollein , Walter Pichler and Oswald Oberhuber . The world exhibition pavilion for the world exhibition in 1964 was also designed by him.
He became known as an architect for building six studios for ORF, all of which are built according to the same architectural principle: the rooms are arranged around a central space in the form of circular segments, which is why the nickname Peichl-Torte came about. In Germany , the Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn and the daycare center in Berlin near the Reichstag building are his most prominent works. The use of exposed concrete is characteristic of Peichl's buildings.
As a political cartoonist, Peichl appeared under the pseudonym Ironimus for the first time in 1954 in the daily newspaper Die Presse with " Julius Raab dreams of the State Treaty " . According to his own statements, he chose this for his own protection, since otherwise he would not be able to publish caricatures about Soviet officers under his real name in the Soviet occupation zone . From 1964 Peichl also drew under this pseudonym for the Süddeutsche Zeitung . Between 1971 and 1996 he designed an annual review for New Year's Eve on ORF . He has a permanent exhibition together with Manfred Deix in the Caricature Museum in Krems an der Donau .
Gustav Peichl was a member of the Künstlerhaus Wien and belonged to the artists' association MAERZ from the end of the 1960s .
