NEW GROUND

A big part of this project is to literally propose a new ground floor - not just from an architecture but also urban planning standpoint. This diagram shows the existing (purple) and proposed (blue) street sections around the site. The heavily vehicle oriented streetscape is transformed into a more pedestrian friendly experience, using changes in elevation and de-densified car traffic.

NEW GROUND

New Ground is our proposal for a group of extension buildings for the Akademie der Bildenden Kuenste (State Academy of Fine Arts) in Stuttgart, Germany. In combination all new buildings introduce a circular path around the academy, working with the topographic challenges of the site.

NEW GROUND

The second complex of our proposed group of annex buildings for the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart. The proposal uses the unexploited space of the academy below grade. Through excavation of those mis-used areas, the buildings of the academy re-connect to the pedestrian life and allow for a dialogue with the street. The proposed buildings provide home for the program requirements of the fine arts academy and connect into the new visitor center of the Weissenhof Siedlung.
