Exhibition opening: Posenenske and the building of the art school
An interdisciplinary project by Prof. Joachimides and Prof. Oswalt, among others.
The current north building of the Kunsthochschule was designed by the architect Paul Friedrich Posenenske starting in 1960 and is considered a particularly characteristic example of post-war modernism at the site. The architect's design drawings for this project are preserved in the Kassel city archives. The aim of a project seminar in winter semester 2021/22 at the Kunsthochschule Kassel was an exhibition of these designs in the context of the reconnection to a modern architectural language in West Germany after 1945, with regard to possible models for the same building task and in the cultural-political environment of Kassel. After two semesters, the seminar now concludes with the exhibition.
