The foundation stone for the second construction phase of one of the largest school buildings in Bavaria was laid in glorious weather.
The project is being implemented in three construction phases to enable a successive move from the existing building to the new building while school operations continue. In the first phase, the two gymnasiums were completed. The school building will house the Sigmund-Schuckert-Gymnasium and the Peter-Henlein-Realschule with a total of around 2,500 pupils.

Nico Weber and the director of the Bauhaus Archive, Dr. Annemarie Jaeggi, present a rough cut of their film about the Bauhaus Archive at the Ark Rex architecture film festival. The film highlights the work of the Bauhaus Archive team with the world's most important collection on the Bauhaus and follows the construction site for the extension and renovation of the building in Berlin over several years.

We are pleased to receive the 1st prize for the Protestant School Neukölln. 

Situated on the periphery of the expansive Alter St. Jacobi cemetery the Evangelische Schule Neukölln is embarking on the construction of a novel edifice designated for its upper school.

The design process, conducted through an interactive workshop, aimed to conceive a sustainable school building that harmonizes with the surroundings. It was imperative to respect the status of the cemetery wall as a heritage-listed feature, while seamlessly integrating within the precinct of the listed garden monument and the neighboring urban residential landscape.

We are pleased to receive a recognition at the State Prize »Exemplary Buildings in the State of Hesse 2023«.

The theme of the award was »Infrastructures for the future«. The Casals Forum was honored in the category "Social Infrastructure".

On this occasion, we would like to refer to a film about the Casals Forum, which Kronberg Academy recently made.

We are pleased to announce that the Casals Forum has received an award from the Association of German Architects. 
The plaques are awarded every five years. Ten projects received the award for 2018-2023.

An ensemble consisting of a chamber music hall, academy and hotel was built between Victoriapark and the S-Bahn station in Kronberg, providing Kronberg Academy with optimal conditions for the musical training of young talents from all over the world. The new buildings, integrated into the rising terrain, are grouped around a public urban space, at the highest point of which the concert hall lays with its far-reaching roof. Its all-round glass façade allows views right into the free-form concert hall.
