Extension to the Academy of Fine Arts
Erweiterung Akademie der Bildenden Künste Nürnberg
The Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg was founded in 1662 by Jacob von Sandrart and is the oldest art academy in German-speaking Central Europe. The art academy is situated in Nuremberg.
The elongated, single-storey building flanking the street is complementing and extending the architecture of the existing listed buildings designed by Sep Ruf.
The new ateliers, studio and seminar rooms are contained in three separate pavilions united by a single large roofscape. The centre of the new complex is the so-called ‘communication pavilion’ with a cafeteria, large studio, picture storeroom and multi-purpose space for events. An open courtyard adjoining the café serves as the main entrance to the academy site. The western pavilion houses new ateliers grouped around an internal courtyard and connected to one another by covered walkways. The seminar rooms in the third pavilion are likewise grouped around an internal courtyard. In contrast to the open walkways, here the passageways are enclosed within the building and separated from the outdoor courtyard by room-high glazing. The pathways and access routes between the individual pavilions follow the pattern of covered walkways and incorporate ‘islands’ for working outdoors.
