TU/e Exhibition at CASA vertigo on Human-Centered Architecture, Honouring Professor Peter Schmid

Last year Peter Schmid celebrated his 90th birthday. This milestone inspired the idea of creating an exhibition at TU/e (Technische Universität Eindhoven) that would not only showcase the remarkable work of his former graduates, but also highlight his own contribution as a pioneer of healthy and human-centred architecture. Dr. M.A. Juri Czabanowski took the initiative to organise an Exhibition with with Assistant Professor Sergio M. Figueiredo at TU/e, CASA vertigo. The Exhibition is titled : “The Logic of Life: Peter Schmid’s Bio-Logical Architecture”.

We are pleased that the exhibition will be held between January and March 2027.

We hope that many of you will join us in celebrating not only Professor Schmid’s legacy, but also the achievements and professional journeys of the many architects and designers who were shaped by their time at TU Eindhoven. Especially also the VIBA-contemporary work developed by VIBA members. https://vibavereniging.nl

We hope that this exhibition will bring together former students, colleagues, and friends in a memorable gathering, while inspiring today’s and tomorrow’s generation of architecture students. Above all, it will be a tribute to the life and work of Prof. Architect Peter Schmid and his lasting contribution to architecture, presented at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in 2027.

IBA

Integrale bio-logische Architektur

ein Begriff der Mitte der 1960er Jahre von Peter Schmid in Wien ins Leben gerufen wurde. Lange bevor man sich über die Auswirkungen der Architektur und Baustoffe auf die Gesundheit und den Planeten Gedanken machte. Gemeinsam mit Architektin Maria Schmid Miesjka und einigen gleichgesinnten Mitstreitern gründeten sie die IBA Studiengemeinschaft für Integrale bio-logische Architektur in Wien.

Dieser Blog enthält die wichtigsten Aktivitäten die seit damals stattfanden. In einer Zeit, in der sich die Welt, mehr denn je, der Klimakrise und der Auswirkungen menschlichen Handelns auf die Umwelt bewußt wird, werfen wir hier einen Blick in die Pionierarbeit und Laufbahn von Architekt Professor Peter Schmid.

As one of the very first, Peter Schmid started in de middle of the 1960-ties in pioneering healthy and environmentally-conscious (sustainable) architecture and building technology, already before the first publications of the Club of Rome. Related research as well practical realisations took place in this time. Integral bio-logical architecture, a concept that was brought to life by Peter Schmid in Vienna in the mid-1960s. Long before anyone thought about the effects of architecture and building materials on health and the planet. Together with the architect Maria Schmid Miesjka and some like-minded colleagues, they founded the IBA Study Group for Integral Biological Architecture in Vienna.

This blog contains the most important activities that have taken place since then. At a time when the world is becoming more aware of the climate crisis and the effects of human activity on the environment, we take a look at the pioneering work and career of Architect Professor Peter Schmid.

Omphalos

A new ‘Omphalos’ was built in 2013 in the village Erdőmecske, located in the county (varmegye) Baranya, South-West-Hungary. Workers of the village, realized this stone monument after the design of Peter Schmid, emeritus professor and architect with strong interest in Peace-building and world-wide pioneer of Sustainable architecture. The interesting naturally shaped stones of this Omphalos were once a present to the village, where they didn’t get any use, but Peter Schmid had the idea to use them artistically and harmoniously meaningful. Beside the many, often mythological explanations about reason and function of the phenomenon of Omphalos, to be found in various types in all over the world, Peter Schmid asks Mother Earth with this sculpture to spread here her crystal, positive and peace-supporting energy out to people and over the environment.
