Peter Riemann (born November 23, 1945 in Eschwege ) is a German architect for building construction and urban planning and a freelance author . From 1983 to 2009 he was a member of the Association of German Architects (BDA) and for several years a delegate in the UIA , Section 1 for “Architectural Heritage in Europe”. Until 2009, he was state delegate in the representative assembly of the North Rhine-Westphalia Chamber of Architects (AKNW) and a member of the AKNW committee for professional issues (2007/2008).

Life

From 1956 to 1965 Peter Riemann attended the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium in Eschwege and from 1968 studied civil engineering and architecture at the TU Braunschweig . After graduating with Meinhard von Gerkan in 1976 and working in Hanover, he went to Oswald Mathias Ungers at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York , in 1976 as a scholarship holder of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) . During his postgraduate studies (architecture and urban design) he worked as a teaching assistant and instructor in Cornell, worked as a visiting critic and toured the USA and Canada. After attending the First Berlin Summer Academy and completing his studies (M.Arch./USA), he returned to Germany in 1978.

After working with W. Pax and working on the new building for the Ministry of Defense in Bonn, he started his own business in 1981. In 1983 he received the Rome Prize of the German Academy Rome Villa Massimo . In 1984 he entered into a working group with HW Roy, which resulted in the establishment of the Riemann + Roy office in 1985 . In 1993 the office partnership ended with the death of HW Roy. In 1994 Riemann founded the office for architecture and urban development , today RiemannArchitekten .

In addition to his freelance work, Riemann taught at several American and German architecture departments ( Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University , Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center , Städelschule , University of Art and Design Bremen ). After teaching posts in Dusseldorf and Cologne Peter Riemann took over 1995-1999 of representation professorship for designing, building doctrine and ecologically oriented planning concepts at the FH Köln .

After 30 years of professional activity in Bonn as a freelance architect in the areas of residential construction, public buildings and building in existing buildings, Riemann downsized his office and relocated it to Starnberg in the Fünfseenland . In addition to project-related collaboration with partners in Düsseldorf, Cologne, Bonn and Paris, he is intensifying his advisory and expert work (planning law, structural damage, appraisal and copyright issues).

Characterized by the increasingly conflictual building activity, Riemann completed a two-semester course in mediation with a degree as a mediator at the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences . Almost simultaneously with the beginning of the implementation of the European Mediation Directive in German law , he becomes an active member of the Verein für Integrierte Mediation eV ( Association for Integrated Mediation eV) whose aim is to understand mediation less as a formalized procedure for dispute settlement, but rather as a meta-process of a cooperative life strategy. Since July 2011, Riemann has headed the Munich – Starnberg regional group of the Association for Integrated Mediation.

Author activity

As an author, Peter Riemann has written numerous articles in German specialist magazines (including Bauwelt, Baumeister, Der Architekt and db) since the late 1980s and, more recently, in online magazines such as rhein: raum-online.de, Bonner PresseBlog and ourBRD. de on issues of Bonn's urban policy. He was one of the authors who contributed to the uncovering of the affair around the World Conference Center Bonn (WCCB) and who are critical of the proceedings. Since July 2010, Peter Riemann has been a member of the German Association of Trade Journalists (DFJV). Peter Riemann repeatedly publishes sections of the events in the youth welfare office scandal in Bonn. He summarized the process on the Bonn press blog.
