Campus Dessau
38, Gropiusallee, Ziebigk, Dessau-Roßlau, Germany
The tremendous popularity of the Bauhaus Dessau has made an expansion
of the university inevitably. The basis of the expansion plan has been a
competition in 1995, which determined the urban planning structure for
the new campus. The new canteen and the auditorium centre, the so-called
Bill-House, are grouped around the central Seminar-square. The seminar
building for surveying technology lies directly on Bauhaus-strasse, to
the west of the new canteen. It is the spine of the campus with all main
services between Seminar-square and Bauhaus joined alongside.
Characterising the ensemble is a reduced language of form and colour
that gives an autonomous character to the campus. It is a modernist
design, yet without alluding to past architectural or stylistic
attributes. On the contrary, the new university buildings attempt to
mediate between the Solitaire of the Bauhaus structure and the
surrounding villas.
Essential to all three new buildings is the cubic form as well as the
accentuated facades. The flush exterior walls underline the cubic
appeal of the buildings. The curtain wall out of green exposed
aggregated concrete is arranged in an exciting interplay of glass flush
to adjacent areas, which offer unexpected views towards the inside and
out, as well as a dynamic lighting scenario.
The Dicker-house in Jahnstrasse has been the fourth building by
kister scheithauer gross. It is home to the department of architecture
and structural engineering and although it is set apart from the three
green build-ings by its red colour scheme it still has comparable design
features.
