Exhibition opening: Posenenske and the building of the art academy
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 in 1960 and is considered a particularly characteristic example of post-war modernism in the area. 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 to exhibit these designs in the context of the return to a modern architectural language in West Germany after 1945, with regard to possible role models for the same building task and in Kassel's cultural-political environment. After two semesters, the seminar now concludes with the exhibition.
