Stephan Trüby

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stephan Trüby (born March 19, 1970 in Stuttgart ) is an architectural theorist and professor for the foundations of modern architecture and design at the University of Stuttgart and a writer for political debates.

Life

Stephan Trüby grew up in Wernau am Neckar and studied architecture and urban planning at the University of Stuttgart from 1993 to 1996 . In 1996 Trüby went to London to attend the Architectural Association School of Architecture .

After working as a research assistant at the IGMA at the University of Stuttgart (2001–2007), he held a visiting professorship for architecture at the State University of Design in Karlsruhe from 2007 and was director of the MAS Scenography / Spatial Design course at Zurich from 2009 to 2014 College of the Arts . Together with the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas , Trüby ran a studio at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University from 2012 to 2013 and was research director of the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale ( Fundamentals ) curated by Koolhaas .

In March 2014 Trüby was appointed assistant professor for architecture and cultural theory at the Technical University of Munich . His main research interests there include architecture and urban planning, especially of the 20th and 21st centuries, in particular the economy of architecture and urbanism as well as the elements and syntheses of architectural space.

Since April 2018, Trüby has been a professor at the IGMA - Institute for Basics of Modern Architecture and Design at the University of Stuttgart.

He lives in Munich and Stuttgart with his partner, the literary scholar and librettist Tina Hartmann, and their daughter.

In addition to his scientific activities, von Trüby has made some political contributions to the debate (e.g. in the FAZ and Die Zeit ). The arc of tension ranges from social housing to dealing with the AfD to the topic of the reconstruction of historic old towns in Germany, such as the partial reconstruction of part of Frankfurt's old town ( Dom-Römer project ), which he considers in the context of current right-wing populist tendencies. Trüby's theses also received international attention, for example in the Observer .

Works

According to Trüby, buildings are “... in the context of cultural (national, regional etc.) differences as well as in the context of transmission processes. ... They are the result of cultural evolution, ... and owe themselves to a complex mixture of economic, political, material and stylistic factors, from traditions, craft rules, software framework, etc. ... "

At the center of Trüby's work is the so-called "corridor phenomenon", which he dealt with in his doctoral thesis in 2011 under the title History of the Corridor at the Karlsruhe University of Design. Peter Sloterdijk and Heiner Mühlmann were reviewers of the work. Sloterdijk noted: "Here the corridor becomes the hero of a phenomenology of 'unpopular space'. Nobody invented the corridor - it has, as it were, subverted the architecture."
