Höchste Qualität schrammt nah am Banalen.
Konrad Frey initially studied chemistry, but at the age of 25 he switched to architecture at TU Graz and co-founded what later became known as the Grazer Schule in 1965 – 1967. He then spent six years in London at the multidisciplinary large-scale office Arup. The partnership with Florian Beigel followed in 1971. In 1972, he designed Austria’s first solar house, Haus Fischer on Lake Grundlsee. His experiments with the use of solar energy influenced his understanding of architecture and the conception of his designs. The guiding principle of his work is to apply the ideas of modernism in relation to regional conditions and the sustainable use of resources. His focus was always on functionality and flexibility, but also on the atmospheric effect of the spaces. Shortly afterwards, in 1974, back in Graz, he founded alternative energy research at Joanneum Research, experimental pilot buildings and energy consulting in Austria. From 1988 – 2001 ZT office in Graz–much planned, little built. He was often teaching in Graz, Vienna, Innsbruck, Germany, England, USA, Canada and Hong Kong.
