New Tampere Art school and Architecture museum

The main goal of the intervention is to renew the spirit of the actual building keeping only the most symbolical part of it, as we understood was the main facade on the corner between Verkate-htaankatu and Tuomiokirkonkatu. A new steel structure will replace the actual damaged struc-ture but will also mantain the same composition. The main issue wanted to be solved volumetri-cally was the high difference between the exis-ting building and its neighboring shapes. To do so, two storeys with the same window composi-tion and a gable roof are added to the part of the building that has facade to Tuomiokirkonkatu.The external layer of the new faca-de will be made of limestone panels with a dark brown color to merge with the old facade and neighboring buildings.
