The Wrocław Academy of Fine Arts

The complex of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, Poland is situated in a place with a very diverse urban context. The planned three-phase extension is primarily a careful dialogue between architectural styles. Its form complements the interrupted frontage of the tenement house on the side of ul. Traugutt, and the division of the facade and finishing materials find a common language with the architecture of the west side of the campus. In this way, a coherent urban composition was formed, which, referring to the neighborhood, at the same time has its own, unique character. The joint competition proposal by Lahdelma & Mahlamäki architects and KXM Group was awarded the 2nd prize in the two-stage competition.
