Peter Thurner

Peter Thurner (* 1941 in Villach ; † 2005 in Innsbruck ) was an Austrian architect .

Life

Thurner grew up in Tyrol and studied architecture at the Graz University of Technology from 1960 to 1966 . From 1967 to 1968 he attended the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. From 1969 to 2001 he ran Atelier M9 in Innsbruck with Richard Gratl , and from 2002 to 2005 he had an office partnership with Paul Senfter. He died in 2005 on a construction site when he fell from a scaffold.

Thurner designed in particular residential and tourist buildings such as hotels and cable car stations. He was one of the first architects to follow classical modernism in the Alpine region , revisiting formal elements from the interwar period such as curved buildings and pent roofs .

During his studies in Graz, influenced by the then university chaplain and later Bishop Egon Kapellari , he initiated social projects in developing countries and planned, among other things, a school and children's center in Colombia and a hospital in Africa.
