Beurteilung durch das Preisgericht

The first prize was awarded for the best quality of the urban and functional solutions of the design concept for the new educational complex of the Academy of Music in Kraków and unique functional and acoustical solutions in the concert hall and other key educational rooms. The urban arrangement provides good integration with the surrounding, realizing the potential of the competition site, which is planned as the first part of a complex of buildings dedicated to music. The intimate atmosphere created by solutions for the Academy's buildings enables the future integration of other developments, which, together with the surrounding park, should establish a new musical part of the city – the Park of Music. The composition of the designed buildings of the Academy is created with a complex of pavilions respectfully introduced among the existing high vegetation. The proper zoning of the building and placement of entrances favor a clear separation between the public and educational spheres. The pavilions immersed in the park constitute particular segments of the school linked by an internal passage with two entrances: one for the public and one for the school. The internal walkways together with the external courtyards and the park vegetation establish a unique atmosphere for the higher artistic education institution. The concert hall is the dominant feature and heart of the Academy. Together with the main hall and café it provides a meeting place for students, teachers and the public. The concert hall is an original, innovative solution, in which the audience surrounds the stage on a few levels. The spatial composition of the hall provides new functional and acoustical possibilities, creating unique visual and acoustic impressions. Thanks to enabling direct contact for all participants of the concert, the concert hall will establish a bond between the artists, orchestra and audience. This interaction in the main concert hall of the Academy of Music in Kraków builds a feeling of community and favors creative atmosphere in the school. This design will enable to create an educational complex for the Academy of Music with a concert hall, while also achieving comprehensive rehabilitation and functional change in a degraded part of Kraków.
