A building academy is a higher building school in which architecture is taught as a practical art. Building schools are on an equal footing with universities , in contrast to these (Latin universitas : totality), building academies do not teach a large number of subjects, but only civil engineering and architecture.
definition
In the past, building academies were partly independent institutions, partly affiliated with art academies, but at the end of the 19th century, architecture training in Germany was largely affiliated as a sub-area of technical universities. The focus of the training of master builders was artistic design, teaching was free-hand, linear, construction and ornament drawing as well as architectural designs under the direction of individual professors. Building academies combined all the necessary auditoriums, drawing rooms and administrative rooms under one roof.
Historical role model
Today, the term Bauakademie is usually understood to mean the building of the Berlin Bauakademie , which was built between 1832 and 1836 according to plans by the Prussian senior building director Karl Friedrich Schinkel . Badly damaged as a result of the Second World War, the first attempts at restoration were made in 1953. In 1961, however, the building was demolished in order to clear the building for the East German Ministry of Foreign Affairs . This was torn down again in 1995/1996. As an alternative to the no longer usable building, the German Bauakademie (from 1973 Bauakademie der GDR) was founded in 1951 at Hannoversche Straße 28 under the presidency of Kurt Liebknecht . This building was later used as the permanent representation of the Federal Republic of Germany to the GDR . The GDR building academy was dissolved in the course of the unification of the two German states in 1991. The reconstruction of the historic building of the original Berlin building academy is planned, but the financing and use has been disputed for many years.
