Life and career

Heinz was born in Vienna, [1] the second of five children of a doctor's family. The family moved to Innsbruck in 1947.

In 1965, Heinz graduated in architecture from the Technischen Hochschule in Wien ab. He first worked from 1965 to 1973 in Düsseldorf, including the project Cologne-Bonn Airport.

From 1973, Heinz collaborated with two colleagues, Dieter Mathoi and Jörg Streli, as the firm Heinz & Mathoi & Streli. [2] Friedrich Achleitner commented about their projects that they influenced the new specific architecture considerably ("... einen großen Einfluss auf die öffentliche Wahrnehmung der neuen Tiroler Architektur genommen"). [3] While they created many buildings jointly, each architect also pursued his own projects. [1] They built a home for homeless children as a Gruppenwohnheim (group home) with four separate units, completed in Jagdberg, Vorarlberg, in 1984. [4]

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. [5] 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 Achleitner and Otto Kapfinger  [ de ]. [6] The same year, the architects dissolved their firm. [1]

Works by Heinz were part of the exhibition Autochtone Architektur in Tirol presenting the architecture of Tyrol with respect for the alpine landscape, in Munich in 1994. [7]

Heinz worked as an assistant at the Institut für Hochbau of the Universität Innsbruck. He then taught design at the Institut für Raumgestaltung, building of schools at the Institut für Gebäudelehre, also at the Institut für Hochbau at the university.

Buildings

The joint projects for Heinz & Mathoi & Streli include feasibility studies, city planning, homes for one family and larger units, preschools, schools and buildings for higher education, sports facilities, stores, offices, industrial buildings and traffic buildings. Examples include: [8]
