Hans Purin (architect)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Purin (born January 3, 1933 in Bregenz , Vorarlberg ; † June 4, 2010 there ) was an Austrian architect .

Career

Bregenz-Mehrerau abbey church
Halde settlement, Bludenz
Single-family house F., Bregenz

Hans Purin first completed an apprenticeship as a bricklayer and attended the building trade school in Bregenz before turning to architecture. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Roland Rainer . Rainer recognized Purin's talent and took him into his office during his studies. Purin then worked on the most technically sound works by Rainer, including his own house. In 1958 Purin returned to his homeland in Vorarlberg, founded his own studio and built a house for himself in Kennelbach . This is seen as a statement of his concern - radically simple, modest and modern (no longer in its original state today).

In 1961 he received the order for the general renovation of the Mehrerau Abbey Church . The renovation became an internationally significant example of modern church building and a cosmopolitan church. His subsequent residential buildings such as the Halde housing estate in Bludenz established a new standard of cost-effective construction. He became the architect of the “resistant” cultural class in Vorarlberg (various builders, like Purin himself, were involved in socio- cultural initiatives such as the fringe games ).

Hans Purin broke new ground with wood as a building material and was a pioneer of Vorarlberg timber construction. Due to his critical but integrative manner, he became a leading figure for young architects and still shapes the style of Vorarlberg architects to this day .

Others

The architectural legacy of Hans Purin has been in the Architekturzentrum Wien since 2011 . Hans Purin was a son of the painter and art educator Hans Purin (1898–1989) and father of the cultural scientist Bernhard Purin .
