Text in English & German. With the Kollegiengebaude II (college building II) of the University of Freiburg dedicated in 1961 the architect Otto Ernst Schweizer had achieved a masterpiece. Being built in the modern design idiom, it nevertheless took Freiburgs tradition into account and gave a new quality of life to the university and the urban development of the inner city quarters. On the whole it was a significant stimulus to university construction. Thanks to the neutral expression of the building, its compact overall for m and its "elastic structural system" (there is maximum flexibility in room layout without touching the bearing skeleton), and together with the laconically simple floor plan it became a prototype solution for smooth functioning. It is an open architecture, free of any suffocating pathos, with wide open spaces, human scale in size and proportions and in ideal accordance with academic freedom for research, instruction and learning. Schweizer, born in 1890 and deceased in 1965, professor of urban construction at the Technical University of Karlsruhe is one of the ground-breaking architects of the 20th century. In the late 1920s he gained international renognition and relevance with his buildings in Nuremburg, among them the stadium grounds and the Milchhof, as well as the Prater-Stadion in Vienna. During the 1930s, when he was not allowed to build, he studied fundamental questions of architecture and urbanism. After the Second World War he used his insights to make recommendations for the reconstruction of destroyed cities like Giessen, Karlsruhe, Mannheim or Stuttgart. In his last project, the Kollegiengebaude II we find the quintessence of a rich creative life, convincingly demonstrating Schweizers high demands on architectural form and function. Immo Boyken is professor emeritus of building history and theory of architecture in Konstanz. His special interest is the architecture of the late 19th and the 20th century.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Mit dem im Jahr 1961 seiner Bestimmung übergebenen Kollegiengebäude II der Universität Freiburg war dem Architekten Otto Ernst Schweizer ein Meisterwerk gelungen, das, mit Gestaltungsmitteln der Moderne und doch an der Tradition Freiburgs orientiert, dem Leben der Universität sowie der urbanen Entwicklung des innerstädtischen Quartiers neue Qualitäten und damit auch dem Hoch-schulbau insgesamt wesentliche Impulse gegeben hat. Ein Bau, der dank seiner neutralen Aussage, kompakt in seiner großen Form, dank seiner 'elastischen Konstruktionsstruktur' (die weitgehendste Flexibilität in der Raumaufteilung ermöglicht, ohne das tragende Skelett zu berühren) und dank seiner lakonisch-einfachen Grundrißordnung mit dementsprechend reibungslosem Funktio-nieren den Wert eines Prototyps hat. Eine offene, im Inneren von jedem erdrückenden Pathos freie Architektur, die mit ihren weiten Bewegungsräumen, mit ihrem menschlichen Maßstab in Proportion und Größe der Vorstellung von freizügig-akademischem Forschen, Lehren und Lernen in idealer Weise entspricht. Schweizer, geboren 1890 und gestorben 1965, Professor für Städtischen Hochbau an der Technischen Hochschule Karlsruhe, zählt zu den wegweisenden Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts, der durch seine Nürnberger Bauten Ende der 1920er Jahre, darunter die Stadionanlage und der Milchhof, sowie durch das Prater-Stadion der Stadt Wien internationale Anerkennung und Bedeutung gewann und der sich in den 1930er Jahren, in denen es ihm verwehrt war, zu bauen, mit grundlegenden Fragen zu Architektur und Städtebau befaßte - Gedanken, die er nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg für Vorschläge zur Neuordnung zerstörter Städte wie Gießen, Karls-ruhe, Mannheim oder Stuttgart wieder aufgreifen konnte. In seinem letzten Werk, dem Kollegien-gebäude II, konzentriert sich, quasi als Quintessenz eines reichen schöpferischen Lebens, Schweizers Anspruch an architektonischer Form und Funktion auf auch heute noch überzeugende Weise.Immo Boyken ist emeritierter Professor für Baugeschichte und Architekturtheorie in Konstanz, dessen besonderes Interesse der Architektur des späten 19. und des 20. Jahrhunderts gilt. Er war maßgebend an der Monographie über Egon Eiermann beteiligt, verfaßte unter anderem die Monographie über Otto Ernst Schweizer und schrieb zuletzt über die Kirche in der Donau City in Wien von Heinz Tesar (Opus 42), das Kanzleigebäude der deutschen Bot-schaft in Washington von Egon Eiermann (Opus 54), den Milchhof in Nürnberg von Otto Ernst Schweizer (Opus 59), das Prater-Stadion in Wien (Opus 75), ebenfalls von Schweizer, sowie über die Deutschen Pavillons auf der Weltausstellung 1958 in Brüssel von Sep Ruf und Egon Eiermann (Opus 62).
