AWC 33 – ARCHITECTURE AS THEME
Between 1832 and 1836, Schinkel built his final masterpiece, the Bauakademie, completing the Berlin landscape he had started a decade earlier with the Altes Museum. A compact block that in one gesture organised its immediate neighbourhood, the building epitomised an ambition to expand its design into a complete urban masterplan. The collapse of two institutions into one building somehow represented this ambition. The Bauakademie housed both the Building Academy, and the State Construction Commission, to which Schinkel served as a director, while the ground floor was occupied by shops. Schinkel also had his apartment on the third floor - in his universe living architecture, building architecture and teaching architecture remarkably coincided.
