Frankfurt starts cultural campus: art, science and living combined!
Frankfurt has big plans for its cultural landscape. A new cultural campus is realized in Bockenheim, which has a vision for the connection between art, science and living. Today Prime Minister Boris Rhein, Minister of Science Timon Gremmels and Mayor Mike Josef have given the official starting signal for this ambitious project. [wiesbaden-leben.de] reports that the University of Music and Performing Art (HfMDK) will move into the newly designed rooms of the former university site.
The cultural campus aims to create a creative center with national radiance. Part of the concept are open spaces for students, artists and the public. Minister Gremmels emphasizes the integrative importance of this project. "A place is created here where culture and education are interlinked," said the minister.
architecture and infrastructure
The planning provides for several new buildings that are to be built on the site. A student dormitory with cafeteria is designed as a connecting element in the architecture. In construction planning, a coherent building is dispensed with, instead the campus will consist of several buildings. [Welt.de] adds that the architecture competition, in the context of which the final design is determined, is to be awarded this year.
The state of Hesse is investing 170 million euros in the cultural infrastructure to create the basis for the new cultural campus. The start of construction is planned for 2030, with a completion for 2035. This long -term project is the result of an idea that was launched by Karlheinz Weimar and Petra Roth in 2010. The city bought the old university site in Bockenheim in 2011 for around 70 million euros.
The role of Frankfurt Lab
Another important element will be the Frankfurt Lab, a merger of artistic initiatives, which is also to be located on campus. This center will include a new trial stage and a large hall that are designed to support creative processes. Mayor Josef described the project as a step in the right direction for Frankfurt and hopes for positive impulses for the cooperation between the cultural institutions in the region.
In summary, it can be said that the cultural campus in Frankfurt is not only an important construction project, but is also a milestone for the cultural scene of Hesse. The close integration of art and education as well as the provision of living space for students and creative minds could open new horizons for the city and its residents. The developments in Wiesbaden are pursued with interest because the possible cooperation between the cultural institutions of both cities could give new impulses. [wiesbaden-leben.de]| Details | |
