Life

Josef Kiraly passed his Matura in 1968 at the Bundesrealgymnasium in Gmünd in Lower Austria . After military service, he studied architecture at the Vienna University of Technology , where he obtained his diploma in 1974. After practicing planning in several architectural offices in Innsbruck, he passed the civil engineering examination in 1979 and founded his office in Sistrans near Innsbruck in 1980 in the same building that he built in 1978 for himself and his family as the “first sun house in Tyrol”. After studying in the USA and inspired by his own convictions, he has since devoted himself to architecture in a balance between man and nature. He published his ideas and work in specialist journals, conference proceedings and in his own books. He passed on his knowledge and experience in the sustainable use of resources and energy in numerous lectures at home and abroad. From 1983 to 2013 he was a professor at the HTL Bau und Design Innsbruck . During these years he was also the initiator and seminar leader of the working group on energy, environment and sustainability at the Federal Ministry for Education and the Arts . During the years of his work as an architect he realized a. a. Numerous model house projects in cooperation with prefabricated house companies, which set new impulses in the construction industry with the conception of a solar house and passive house . The "Sonnenhaus" utility model , which has appeared at the Austrian Patent Office with registration number 3525 since April 25, 2000, also developed. As a timber construction expert, he and a team advised the Russian Fund from 1990 to 1995 on behalf of the Ministry of Construction and Urban Development of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, with the aim of developing the Central Russian region for tourism. From 1994 to 2003 he was consultant with numerous contributions for the publication of the Austrian Building and Housing Handbook. Over 300 projects have been implemented since 1980.

art

Josef Kiraly has been retired since 2005, enjoys the sun and devotes himself to art. Abstract elementary forms, colors, materials and structures, architecture on a model scale, as it were, are imaginatively and poetically staged as mobiles, sculptures or objects. Movable 3-D compositions, some with e-motor drive, well balanced and in static equilibrium, are symbolic of serenity and joie de vivre. It is the creative continuation and challenge as well as the desire for free creativity and artistic design, without influencing the client's wishes, building regulations, official requirements and standards legislation.
