Harry Glück (architect)

Alt-Erlaa residential park

Harry Glück (born February 20, 1925 in Vienna ; † December 13, 2016 there ) was an Austrian architect and set designer.

Life

Glück studied set design and directing at the Max Reinhardt Seminar and then worked as a set designer for ten years . In addition, he occasionally worked as a backdrop painter in the Vienna Rosenhügel film studios . During this time he started a second career and began studying architecture at the Technical University of Vienna , which he graduated with a diploma in 1960. This was followed by studies at the University of Innsbruck and the doctorate to Dr. techn.

As an architect, he founded his own office in 1966, which from 1976 traded as Harry Glück & Partner . With more than 100 employees at times, he built office and commercial buildings, bank and administration buildings, hotels and retirement homes, kindergartens and schools as well as 18,000 apartments, 16,000 of them in Vienna. His best-known work is the Alterlaa residential park in Liesing , a residential complex for 10,000 residents. Glück's hallmarks were the terraced buildings - in addition to Alterlaa, for example, the facilities in Inzersdorfer Strasse, Hadikgasse, Maderspergerstrasse, Otto-Probst-Strasse or Heinz-Nittel-Hof.

With his work he distinguished himself especially in social housing under the motto “Live like the rich, also for the poor”. His trademark are community pools, mostly on the roof. These should take on the band-forming function, as the tavern or the church square used to do. There is also private open space in all apartments - often with plant troughs - and cupboards in the bedrooms.
