The Braunschweig University of Fine Arts (HBK Braunschweig) is an art university founded in Braunschweig in 1963 . The campus is located on Johannes-Selenka-Platz, which is named after the master bookbinder Johannes Selenka . The campus area includes a building built between 1934 and 1935 as a clothing office according to plans by the architect Hans Bernhard Reichow and the Mexican pavilion at the Expo 2000 based on a design by the architect Ricardo Legorreta . After it was built in Braunschweig, it gradually developed into the landmark of the HBK Braunschweig.
history
The history of the Braunschweig University of Fine Arts began in 1790: Johann Carl Kahnt founded an architectural and technical drawing institute on behalf of Duke Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand. After its closure, the lessons were taken over by the Braunschweiger Gewerbeverein, which founded the “Drawing Institute” in 1841 under the leadership of Johannes Selenka . From this drawing institute, the state-recognized municipal craftsman's school of arts and crafts and shortly afterwards the master's school of German crafts developed.
The forerunner of the HBK was the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste (SHfBK), which emerged in 1963 from the municipal art school in Braunschweig. In 1978, the SHfBK was founded into the University of Fine Arts (HBK). The SHfBK had already been on an equal footing with the state's scientific universities since 1972 and a few years later it was incorporated into the Lower Saxony University Act as an artistic and scientific university; since then she has the right to confer doctorates and habilitation.
Associated with this recognition was a personnel and spatial expansion of the university. In 1984 an award-winning new building and extension by the Braunschweig architects Krämer, Sieverts & Partner was inaugurated. A few years later, a multi-storey former factory building in Blumenstrasse was added as a studio building, in which many of the artistic classes and studios are spaciously housed today. As the last addition to the university campus for the time being, the library extension from parts of the dismantled Mexican pavilion was added at EXPO 2000 based on a design by the architect Ricardo Legorreta .
From October 17, 2017 to November 13, 2017, students occupied the studio building on Blumenstrasse to point out grievances at the university.
Education
In the 2015/16 winter semester, around 1000 students were enrolled at the HBK Braunschweig in 13 courses and in four courses that were about to be discontinued. As decided in the university development plan, the courses in design were recently realigned. The design courses Bachelor Visual Communication ( BA ), Design in the Digital Society (BA) and Master Transformation Design ( MA ) have been offered since the 2015/16 winter semester .
