Life

Bauer spent his childhood in the Pannonian region. Until 1989 he attended the University of Applied Arts Vienna in the master class of Wilhelm Holzbauer . Immediately after the fall of the Wall, Bauer emigrated to Weimar, where he graduated from the Weimar University of Architecture and Construction in 1993 .

After graduating in architecture, Bauer worked until 1997 as a research assistant at the Chair of Architectural Theory at the Bauhaus University Weimar . Bauer received his doctorate in 1997 with a thesis on the aesthetic fringes of art and architecture.

After his return to Austria he opened the office of Klaus-Jürgen Bauer Architects in Eisenstadt and worked as an architect and university lecturer. Bauer has been involved in architecture mediation on a voluntary basis since 1999 and became a member of the Raumburgenland Architecture Association.

Between 2000 and 2006 he was chairman of this association, and since 2016 he has been curator of the contemporary architecture gallery in Architektur Raumburgenland. Bauer was involved in the development of the 1st and 3rd Austrian Building Culture Report. In 2010 he became a member of the BIG Art Advisory Board. Since 1999 he has been teaching architecture in various departments at the Vienna University of Technology . Bauer has also been teaching at the New Design University in St. Pölten since 2020 .

In 1997 Bauer published his first monographic book on modern architecture called Minima Aesthetica. Banality as a subversive strategy of architecture. The book drew attention to the aesthetic fringes of modern architecture. In it, he deals critically and philosophically with the aesthetic fringes of modern architecture. Using the example of a certain group of European architects from Switzerland and Austria , Bauer shows that their architectural work, as a common feature, has a strange proximity to the ordinary, everyday and banal. Bauer has been continuing this discourse since 2019 by addressing neglected marginal areas of architecture such as door handles or scarf stone walls in monographs.

Around the year 2000 the first structures were realized according to his designs. A large number of single-family houses and residential buildings were built.

Another focus of his work is interior design and exhibition design .

A central architectural activity of Klaus-Jürgen Bauer takes place in the area of ​​building under monument protection. In this area, Bauer was able to implement a number of projects for the Esterházy Foundation. His redesign of the fragment of a former castle in Donnerskirchen into the Burgenland Enjoyment Academy was completed in 2016.
