Life

Peter Andres attended the HTL Anichstraße specializing in electrical engineering in Innsbruck . In Hugo Watzlawek's class , Andres sparked a passion for lighting design. Watzlawek introduced him to the lighting designer Christian Bartenbach , in whose engineering office Andres worked from 1977. In 1979 the Austrian title of " Engineer " was awarded. In 1983 he switched to Interferenz GmbH, a developer and manufacturer of daylight and artificial light systems.

In 1986 Peter Andres founded his own office for lighting design in Hamburg , and since 2001 there has been an additional branch office in Tyrol . Peter Andres has been running the office together with six other partners as a GbR since 2014.

Public and private projects in the areas of culture, administration, industry, retail, outdoor facilities, etc. are planned there. A special feature of the planning is the model-based working method in the so-called "artificial sky" - a translucent dome backlit with over 1000 fluorescent lamps for the simulation of different sky states, as well as with an integrated revolving stage and an artificial sun that can be used to trace the course of the sun at any location on earth can simulate at any time - in the course of which you can feel and perceive the planned lighting effect in a scale model long before it is actually implemented.

Teaching and public work

From 1994 to 2002 Peter Andres was a lecturer for lighting design at the Faculty of Architecture at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences and from 2003 to 2006 he was deputy professor for lighting design at the PBSA Peter Behrens School of Arts (until 2015 Peter Behrens School of Architecture) in Düsseldorf . Since 2006 he has been an honorary professor for daylight and artificial lighting planning at the PBSA Peter Behrens School of Arts, the merger of the two faculties of architecture and design at the University of Düsseldorf.

Peter Andres has been the spokesman for the Light Advisory Board of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg since 2006. This committee advises the Senate for Building, Urban Development and the Environment (BSU) with the aim of further developing and promoting the nocturnal cityscape.
