Building projects of the Basel Music Academy
The Basel Music Academy is planning to renovate and expand its infrastructure at the historic site over the next few years and add a Salle Modulable. A project by architecture firm Architecture Club is to be used.
As part of the "MAB Campus 2040" renovation and extension project, the Basel Music Academy carried out a selective study contract. The assessment committee, chaired by Pierre de Meuron, selected four teams from 37 applications in an open pre-qualification process. In the end, the assessment committee unanimously recommended Architecture Club's project proposal for further development, both for the structural extension and for the renovation of the existing buildings.
On the one hand, the project includes the urgently needed renovation work on the historically valuable building ensemble. On the other hand, it involves meeting the urgent need for space with regard to today's functional and technical requirements. According to the press release, the addition of a Salle Modulable is essential for today's educational purposes. Only such a Salle Modulable would be able to do justice to the stylistic diversity in current and future musical life, with the increasing inclusion of multimedia and digital technologies and the many interdisciplinary artistic approaches.
