Manfred Schiedhelm

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manfred Schiedhelm (born March 5, 1934 in Worms ; † August 9, 2011 in Berlin ) was a German architect and university professor .

Life

Manfred Schiedhelm studied architecture from 1954 to 1958 at the Technical University of Darmstadt . After passing the main diploma examination, he first worked for Heinrich Bartmann in Darmstadt and Marcel Lods in Paris. In 1962 the collaboration with the architects Candilis –Josic– Woods began , from 1966 as their equal partner. In this position, he realized the construction of the so-called “rust bower” of the Free University of Berlin , which is considered one of the most important examples of structuralism in Europe.

From 1968, Schiedhelm then worked as a freelance architect. Already with his early competition design for the Center Pompidou in Paris, with which he won second prize against prominent competitors, he achieved an "international breakthrough" in the professional world in 1971. As a member of the team of architects Team 10 , he organized their meeting in Berlin in 1973 and then regularly took part in the meetings. In the mid-1970s, he was visiting professor at Harvard University and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). There he founded an office community with Karen Axelrad-Schiedhelm in 1978, which both then continued as Schiedhelm and Partner Architects in Berlin until his death. He was also invited to various European universities (Vienna University of Technology, Munich Art Academy, Glasgow University of Technology, Budapest University of Technology) and between 1987 and 1999 was Professor of Building Construction at the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University of Braunschweig .

Schiedhelm's architectural work mainly includes university and residential buildings in Berlin. However, his unrealized competition designs and project studies from the mid-1960s onwards have at least the same significance: initially pneumatic and mobile lightweight constructions, later structuralist large forms that were characterized by the joy of experimentation and playful innovations. In the last years of his life he was increasingly in demand as a contemporary witness or a member of Team 10, although the interest internationally was much greater than within Germany. Manfred Schiedhelm's estate is in the architecture collection of the Berlinische Galerie .
