ARCHITECTURAL RECORD APRIL 2015 news twitter.com/archrecordperspective DAILY UPDATES architecturalrecord.com/news 19 PHOTOGRAPHY: © CHRISTINE KANSTINGER (TOP); INGENHOVEN UND PARTNER ARCHITEKTEN (BOTTOM) Frei Otto Wins Pritzker, Dies at 89 BY ANNA FIXSEN german architect Frei Otto, renowned for his lightweight tensile structures, was named the winner of the 2015 Pritzker Architecture Prize March 10. The abrupt announcement came a day after Otto died, at the age of 89, in Germany. “Throughout his life, Frei Otto has produced imaginative, fresh, unprecedented spaces and constructions,” wrote the jury in their citation. “He has also created knowledge. Herein resides his deep influence: not in forms to be copied but through the paths that have been opened by his research and discoveries.” Otto learned of his award earlier this year when the prize’s executive director, Martha Thorne, traveled to his home in Warmbronn, Germany, a city near Stuttgart. Otto’s works include a diverse array of constructions and installations that broadened the architectural possibilities of grid shells, pneumatic structures, canopies, and lattices. He is best known for his cable-net structure for the German Pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal and an expansive canopy for the 1972 Munich Olympics, which stretched over the Games’ stadium, pool, and public areas. Like his unconventional work, Otto’s training took an extraordinary path: he was initially prevented from studying architecture because he was drafted into the German army during World War II. As a prisoner of war in France, Otto became, in effect, camp architect, learning to work frugally with minimal materials. After the war, he studied architecture at the Technical University of Berlin, and, in 1952, founded his own office in that city. Otto, who was fascinated by natural forms —from soap bubbles to spider webs—had a collaborative and wide-ranging approach to research and design, and frequently worked with philosophers, scientists, historians, and also his wife, Ingrid. “He merged architecture and engineering as a collaborative process,” says German architect Stefan Behnisch. “Today everyone talks about integrated design process, but I think it goes back to Frei Otto.” In fact, Otto collaborated with Behnisch’s father, Günter, for the Olympic-park roof. As a child, Behnisch remembers visiting his father’s office, sitting You cannot think about architecture without thinking about its relationship to the street. —Renzo Piano, who designed the new Whitney Museum in New York, speaking at a lecture at Columbia University, March 11, 2015 Frei Otto (left) was best known for his tent-like roofing system for the 1972 Munich Olympics. The work marked a stark departure from Germany’s heavy traditional architecture. in on meetings, and watching the iconic canopies go up. “The construction of the Olympic facilities is when Germany showed a different face to the world,” says Behnisch. “The architecture of the Third Reich was very monumental, but Frei created, with other postwar architects, a very contrary image. He showed architecture could be light, that architecture could be playful.” Unlike many past Pritzker laureates, Otto didn’t fill the classic starchitect bill—his influence was more understated, manifest in a vast body of research. Winner of the 2014 Pritzker Shigeru Ban, who partnered with Otto to design the Japanese pavilion at the 2000 Hannover Expo, wrote, “His achievements, rather than just being his ‘works,’ have become Visit our online section at architecturalrecord.com/news.
