Organizations

Jörg Streli (26 March 1940 – 13 February 2019)[1] was an Austrian architect and academic teacher at the Innsbruck University. With two colleagues, as the firm Heinz & Mathoi & Streli, he built private homes in the alpine landscape of Tyrol, schools, offices and public buildings, among others. He was also president of the architecture section of the Ingenieur- und Architektenkammer für Tirol und Vorarlberg.

Life and career

[edit]

Streli was born in Innsbruck.[2] He studied architecture at the Technische Hochschule Wien from 1958 to 1964. After several years of practice, he became assistant at the Innsbruck University in 1969, a post he held until 1976. He lectured at the university from 1992 to 1997.[3]

Floor plan for Landesjugendheim in Jagdberg, Schlins

From 1973, Streli collaborated with two colleagues, Karl Heinz and Dieter Mathoi, as the firm Heinz & Mathoi & Streli.[2][3][4] While they created many buildings jointly, each architect also pursued his own projects.[2] Together, they built a chapel in 1982, the Sankt-Margarethen-Kapelle in Innerberg, which rises like a tower on a circular floor.[5] They built a home for homeless children as a Gruppenwohnheim (group home) with four separate units, completed in Jagdberg, Vorarlberg, in 1984.[6] Streli focused on one-family homes, with respect for the owners' wishes and the natural surroundings.[2] Inspired by models such as Clemens Holzmeister, Josef Lackner [de], Lois Welzenbacher [de], and Frank Lloyd Wright, he found his own style. He departed from his love of nature and of traditional building in rural landscape, with wood as a preferred material, but changed toward urban environments.[2] He renovated the interior of the old parish church in Hötting in 1989, and built a new parish hall there in 1994.[7]

Extension of the University Hospital Innsbruck, completed 2008

The joint extension of the University Hospital in Innsbruck, created by adding a technical and a clinical floor for gynecology and neurology on top, built from 2006 to 2008, was nominated for the award of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe in 2009.[3][8] In 2008, Springer published a monograph of their works, both group and individual projects, titled Heinz-Mathoi-Streli / Architekten / Bauten und Projekte / Buildings and Projects, with evaluations by Friedrich Achleitner and Otto Kapfinger [de].[9] The same year, the architects dissolved their firm.[2] In 2015, Streli built a home for drug addicts in Innsbruck, called Mentlvilla,[2][10] designed in reference to Welzenbacher's Adambräu,[2] which is now the home of the Architecture Centre of Tyrol.[11] The house (Haus für Suchtkranke), run by the Caritas, offers housing and medical treatment.[12][13] It was nominated for the architecture prize of Tyrol in 2016.[14]

From 1983 to 1994, Streli was also president of the architecture section of the Ingenieur- und Architektenkammer für Tirol und Vorarlberg. He served on an advisory board for the city development of Linz from 1993 to 1995.[3]

Works by Streli were part of the exhibition Autochtone Architektur in Tirol presenting the architecture of Tyrol with respect for the alpine landscape, in Munich in 1994.[15] He served on juries for architectural competitions, such as for a new University Square in Bolzano in 2014.[16]

Jörg Streli died in Innsbruck on 13 February 2019.[1]
