Peter Kluska is a German landscape architect with an office in Munich , which he runs together with his wife Edit Kluska-Szügyi. Kluska has specialized in urban planning objectives, in which he creates open spaces, especially in their social quality. His best-known design is the Munich West Park , which was laid out in 1983 for the International Horticultural Exhibition. He is a member of the Bund Deutscher Landschaftsarchitekten and the Deutscher Werkbund .
Professional development
Kluska initially trained as a gardener and then studied landscape architecture in Weihenstephan. His first job was an internship at Hans Luz in Stuttgart. He then worked from 1964 to 1970 in Walter Rossow's office in Berlin. In 1970 he started his own business in Munich and has been working as a freelancer ever since. By participating in architecture competitions, he built up an independent profile and sees his main focus of work in designing object planning in urban and rural areas, with the urban development component increasing in later years.
From 1991 to 1997 he was a member of the city planning commission of the state capital Munich, since 1994 he has been a member of the German Academy for Urban Development and Regional Planning .
Kluska received an award for the cabinet garden of the Munich Residenz in 2005 as part of the German Landscape Architecture Prize.
Influences
He describes a visit to Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, which he was only able to visit in the mid-1960s as a West Berliner thanks to a special permit from the GDR authorities, as defining his understanding of spatial creation and spatial experience .
For Kluska, landscape architect is the “second most beautiful profession in the world”, only music has priority for him. He draws inspiration from Tchaikovsky and Mahler. For the city of Leipzig he designed the Augustusplatz between the Gewandhaus and the Leipzig Opera House while listening to a rehearsal of Tchaikovsky's Serenade No. 48 in C major under Kurt Masur through closed doors . He designed the surface of the square as a sheet of music on which the constant movement of people on the square would result in "an ever new score".
