Teaching

In 1967 Gebhard received a call to the architecture faculty of the Technical University of Munich for the newly founded chair for design and rural construction.

In research and teaching, Gebhard devoted himself until his retirement in 1993 to the understanding of the overall form of buildings, places and cities as a whole in the interaction of life processes in society, of environmental conditions, of spatial needs and functional organization.

Career in the Bavarian State Building Administration

After the Grand State Examination in 1955, Gebhard began his planning work at the building authorities in Freising, Nuremberg, Regensburg and at the Supreme Building Authority in the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior , until 1967, most recently as government building director. In 1962, the Bavarian State Parliament decided to found the Fourth State University in Regensburg , which began teaching in the winter semester of 1967/68. Gebhard took over the planning of the university and became the first board member of the university building authority.

Act

At the same time as he began teaching and research in 1967, Gebhard founded his own architecture office in Munich. In various collaborations he developed urban planning frameworks and public buildings. The large collective space often became the constituent spatial feature of his buildings. From 1984 Gebhard worked with the Munich architect Bernhard Landbrecht .
