Max Rieder (architect)

Max Rieder, 2009

Maximilian Manfred Rieder ( spelling maxRIEDER ; born October 12, 1957 in Salzburg ) is an Austrian architect , urbanist and engineering consultant for cultural technology and hydraulic engineering , as well as a trained mediator . His youth was shaped by the world heritage landscapes and old town spaces of Salzburg. He lives and works in Salzburg and Vienna and has carried out numerous practical and theoretical projects since the 1980s.

Max Rieder is married and has three children.

education

Max Rieder comes from family generations of master carpenters and plasterers from the Salzburg area. After attending the HTL for structural engineering in the old town of Salzburg (1972–1977), Rieder studied cultural engineering and water management at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna (1977 to 1984 Dipl.-Ing.), As well as architecture at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna (1980 to 1986, Mag.arch.) In the master class for architecture with Hans Hollein .

His painting has received several awards from Gotthard Graubner at the International Summer Academy for Fine Arts in Salzburg . Since 1984 he has black belts of the Olympic sport Taek-Won-Do and taught for many years at the University Sports Center Vienna.

Artistic attitude

Beyond the technical, scientific and artistic spheres, Rieder sees his work as a contribution to a more open, humane society. The interactions between human form, cultural influences and elementary, formative forces generate the Rieder design universe. The water in its aggregate states (water body) as a form-forming force can be felt and perceived in his work. The works show the interaction between landscape, building and social, adaptable sculpture, which transforms the local context into a manifesto-like character. The refusal of clear interpretability is inherent in the work. The assignment of social art for his work relates to the processual emergence and radical transformation of contexts.

His critical statements such as “Everything is landscape” (Bad Ischl 1994), “Architecture is a social art, the city is a social work of art” (Vienna 1998), expressed in public lectures, reveal his singular attitude towards architecture that is otherwise practiced.

Due to his interdisciplinary training, he has a systemic approach that is based on his technical, scientific and artistic foundations. This creates freedom for himself in which he is able to evade common questions of style and categorizations.

Redesign of Residenzplatz

In 2007 Rieder was able to win an international competition for the redesign of the Salzburg Residenzplatz in the knittels.büro project group . This design is based on an urban planning concept by Vincenzo Scamozzi . After extensive sample areas and the testing of an "art conglomerate" for the spacious, newly spanned, complex square area, the planning in 2009 was put on hold for political and electoral reasons for a pause for reflection. This reflection process also affected a proposed light sculpture as a dynamic, moving memorial to the only book burning of National Socialism on Austrian soil. The light sculpture would have developed temporarily and choreographically from the square and would have been programmed differently by artists in a biennial fashion. However, this processing and constant reflection is still pending.

Employment

Since completing his studies, Rieder has been working exclusively on a freelance basis, as well as in changing, enriching project-related working groups. In 1992 he founded his own studio based in Salzburg and Vienna. Among other things, he made a name for himself in the Salzburg architecture scene as a founding member of INITIATIVE Architektur Salzburg, at the federal level through his involvement in the first Austrian Baukultur Report, but above all as an architect of original buildings. His work covers a broad spectrum, from avant-garde single-family homes to public buildings such as kindergartens and schools, infrastructure and hydropower plants, as well as from landscaping to large-scale urban development projects.

Rieder is also active as an author of urban planning studies and theoretical research. 2001–2003 he was a co-founder of the STAU Städtebau-Architektur-Urbanismus group. From 2002 he headed mobilerort.at and slowfuture.com, a transdisciplinary research group he initiated for urban planning issues. Since then, Rieder has acted as a mediator in the context of large construction and urban development projects. In 2004 he founded mediare.net, the institute for building and planning mediation in Vienna. In 2005 he was appointed to the advisory board for architecture, fashion and design of the Austrian federal government. In 2006 he was co-author of the first Austrian building culture report, moderated and acted as Enquetes spokesman in the Austrian National Council. Numerous artistic, architectural, political and urban planning initiatives have been moderated since then.

Rieder advises Austrian municipalities and cities on urban planning and design issues. Among others, the cities of Feldkirch , Krems an der Donau , Salzburg, Innsbruck , Retz and Vienna as part of the participation in design advisory boards and juries. At Langfang-City, for AOMEI Realestate (Hebei, Beijing) he developed a complex master plan with RTW-L for 240,000 m² of mixed-use space in 2009.

Since 2013 he has been a co-thinker of the Wolf D. Prix and Quer-Magazin sponsored initiative “Wien woin?” , In the same year he initiated the online blog “www.kooperativenraum.at”.

Teaching and lecturing activities

Since 1994 Rieder has taught at various universities as a visiting professor, university professor or lecturer, for example at the University of Music and Performing Arts - Mozarteum in Salzburg, the University of Applied Arts in Vienna (1995-2004), as a lecturer in urban development and urban planning in the architecture studios by Wilhelm Holzbauer , Hans Hollein , Wolf D. Prix and Zaha Hadid . In addition at the Technical University of Vienna (building theory 1998, urban development 2002, 2008, housing construction 2012–2013). In 2015 Rieder teaches at the Institute for Art and Architecture of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna on the subject of 'Ecology, Sustainability and Cultural Heritage'. There are also numerous lecturing activities and participation in symposia in other European countries.
