University of Television and Film, DE-Munich
The competition for the new building of the University of Television and Film also included a conceptual component for the State Museum of Egyptian Art. The site is characterized urbanistically by generous open spaces, which are occupied by monumental museum and university buildings that stand as independent units among the perimeter-block developments.
The new building for the University of Television and Film responds to this and closes off the construction site across from the Alte Pinakothek with an elongated structure.
The building is set back slightly from the street line. This creates a suitable spatial boundary that complements the architecture of the Alte Pinakothek.
In terms of scale and building height, the new structure echoes the proportions of the surrounding buildings and, together with the Museum of Egyptian Art and the Leibniz Computing Center, forms a campus-like complex.
