Oliver Sterl (* 1969 in Villach , Carinthia ) is an Austrian architect.

Life

Sterl attended the technical college in Villach from 1984 to 1989 . From 1990 he studied architecture at TU Graz , where he passed his first diploma four years later. The architecture teaching at the Technical University of these years was characterized by exponents of the “Graz School” with their propagation of utopias (Anselm Wagner, Antje Senarclens de Grancy) accompanied by the search for very individual handwriting in finding forms.

In addition to the teaching content in Graz, an intensive occupation with contemporary aspects of urban planning followed . In particular, this applied to one of the key projects of that time, the “Urban Score” for the urban development area “ Flugfeld Aspern ” (1992) in Vienna by Rüdiger Lainer , who u. a. was presented at the 1996 Venice Architecture Biennale. Above all, the idea of ​​urban planning, which anticipates the processual and the temporal changes in urban development, influenced Sterl.

In 1994 he continued his studies at the Vienna University of Technology , in his diploma thesis he examined and evaluated an urban planning process based on the urban design for the KDAG grounds in Vienna-Meidling . In 1999 he graduated as a qualified engineer for architecture at the Vienna University of Technology. During his studies, Sterl already worked in several offices, such as at Auböck + Kárász in Vienna or Bernhard Walter (Berlin). In 2000 he became project manager in Rüdiger Lainer's architectural office . In 2004 he received the license to be an architect of the Federal Chamber of Architects and engineering consultants . In 2005 the ZT sole proprietorship Rüdiger Lainer became the new civil technician GmbH RLP Rüdiger Lainer + Partner. Oliver Sterl became the office partner of Rüdiger Lainer and co-owner of ZT GmbH. Since then he has also been managing director of RLP Rüdiger Lainer + Partner. In addition to his work as a planning and building architect, he is busy giving lectures at home and abroad.

After small renovations and work as a student trainee, Sterl was in charge of project and construction developments at the Rüdiger Lainer office from 2000 - since 2005 as the responsible partner for RLP Rüdiger Lainer + Partner, initially at "Cineplexx City", a large cinema in Salzburg . Metaphorically for the projection screens inside and for the processuality of the architecture, a solitaire was developed there, the color moods of which change from the inside out on the facades depending on the time of day. In this way, the square at the main train station receives a poetic, atmospheric component that interacts with the surrounding, sober post-war architecture.

The Swiss architectural historian and critic Walter Zschokke (1948–2009) described the building of the Lower Austria Chamber of Commerce (completed in 2006) as a “contuextual solitaire” . Based on an economic-serial structure, the building shape develops into a slightly bent Y-shape that can achieve a great deal in terms of urban planning. A clear corner and entrance situation is created across from the adjacent business development institute by Karl Schwanzer , while the office building in the east models a screen for the adjacent residential area.

Architecture not only affects the form and context of a building, it can also significantly change a building type in coordination with the client, as happened with the “Innovative Living and Care House” in Vienna-Döbling . The aim was to transform the type of nursing home into a “residential group model for senior citizens” (Franziska Leeb). A house was built between 2008 and 2012, with supervised living groups as spatial elements forming part of an urban microcosm with doctors' offices, common rooms, apartments and a kindergarten. In terms of urban space , this property appears manageable despite the size of 36,000 m² gross floor area and, due to the differentiated building structure, offers a human scale in approach and use.

In the middle of the city of Vienna, the sustainable revitalization of a historic Ringstrasse palace, the former fruit and flour exchange built in 1879 on Schottenring 19, took place from 2012 to 2015. For this, the statics of the house were upgraded in accordance with the EU earthquake directive Eurocode 8 , the heating requirement was halved Facades restored and the open structure of the house adapted for economically relevant, use-neutral areas. The generosity of the Wilhelminian style architecture was preserved, prepared for a multitude of contemporary working environments. The EU Commission's Green Building Award was given to RLP Rüdiger Lainer + Partner for the renovation of a typical palace from the Vienna Ringstrasse era.

With the HoHo Wien project in Aspern, Vienna, Oliver Sterl and Rüdiger Lainer broke new ground in several respects. Unveiled in 2015, the high-rise will be “the tallest wooden tower in the world at 84 meters high and 24 storeys” (Die Presse) when it is planned to be completed at the end of 2018. “The architects opted for a hybrid construction. Inside is a concrete core, around which is the wooden construction, which after all makes up around three quarters of the floor area. The mix of materials enables flexible room division. ”(Quote competition).

In June 2017, the residential complex in Vienna's new “ Sonnwendviertel II” district at Vienna Central Station was completed. From mid-2017, in cooperation with the architects 'office BKK-3, 267 apartments and smart apartments as well as social facilities (day care center, senior citizens' home, etc.) were made available for users on a gross floor area of ​​30,000 m². “The target group for the smart apartments are, among others, young families, couples and singles who are dependent on affordable housing as possible”, as Andrea Kästner writes. The planning by RLP Rüdiger Lainer + Partner aims to replace the classic Viennese block perimeter development with differentiated volumes in order to ensure more lighting, ventilation and solar radiation for their own building site, but also for neighboring houses. This questioning of traditional typologies is not done for formal reasons, the new concept optimizes the lighting and orientation in the entire courtyard area. The topic of “Smart Living”, which the City of Vienna has placed at the center of all planning concepts in “Sonnwendviertel II”, is solved by the office with a high degree of variability within the given areas. The range of room structuring, which can be changed again over time, ranges from " lofts " to 3-room apartments. The option of change as a basis for living together does not only open up in the "Sonnwendviertel" with regard to the types of living: Ground floor zones with common rooms, attractive outdoor spaces and the mix of age groups should - similar to Aspern - represent an urban cosmos in its heterogeneity.
