Dr.
Jörg Düsterhöft, Zumpe - Düsterhöft - Richter: Life has
more facets than the profession. |
|
|
ARE YOU AN
ARCHITECT? |
Yes. In 1984 I have finished
my studies. Since then I have been working as an architect. |
WHERE ARE
YOU FROM? |
I was born in Dresden, I went
to school here, I studied here and I have been working here. |
WHAT IS
IMPORTANT TO YOU? |
If you get older you
recognize, that time, health and close contact to other people are the
most important things. It is important to have a lively life, to organize
it in order to develop the own potential and possibilities. The peace of
mind that has importance. The family, my daughter, friends, journeys, art
and profession are important facets. |
WHAT ABOUT
DRESDEN? |
Dresden is my native place, I
like the town and its environs. Dresden is a beautiful and famous town,
but also a petty province. I don´t care about the town. Especially not as
an architect, but as an expert for demography. |
HOW WOULD
YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK? |
Architect is a very nice
profession. You have to have a high degree of creativity, power and
energy. You are standing in the middle like an theater director. That is a
challenge. You are the contact person for the investors, the authorities,
the specialized planners, building companies and employees. Ever you have
to find an answer. The creative work is often just a short episode. The
economical and social situation is more and more changing. The true work
of an architect - to build a house - is moving in the background and a
nervous trench fight replaces it. |
FUTURE? |
Future is destination and
occurrence, for the optimist like the pessimist. I´m eager for it, some
wishes are still open. |
WHICH
QUESTION YOU HAVE
ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ASKED? |
A concrete question does not
occure to me. But I very wanted to be asked in public about politics
and the society. |
