Hermann Czech – architect, Austria

Hermann Czech’s work is extraordinarily heterogeneous, ranging from one-off new buildings including houses, cafes and restaurants, creative re-use projects, to major planning schemes.

He was born in Vienna, studied architecture under Konrad Wachsmann at the Summer Academy Salzburg and Ernst A Plischke at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. He has taught at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, at ETH Zurich, at TU Vienna, and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.

His planning work includes a subway network project for Vienna (1967); a competition project for the Danube Island, Vienna (1974); the planning for the U3-West subway line, Vienna (1985-89); a winning competition project for the urbanization of SS (and GDR) barracks next to the memorial site of the former concentration camp Sachsenhausen, Oranienburg (1993).

His major buildings include: a pedestrian bridge in City Park, Vienna; a number of residential blocks in Vienna; a school in Vienna; the winter glazing of the loggia of the Vienna Opera House; the conversion of the Bank Austria building in Vienna; Fair Hotel, Vienna; and several restaurants, bars and cafés in Vienna, Zurich and Caldaro (Italy).
