A university campus stretches out between the two buildings. Lavish, open staircases invite as much to linger in the courtyard as to enter the institute. In form and materiality the new building subordinates itself to the existing building. Minor new interpretations such as the colour of the bricks emphasise the autonomy as well as the sculptural character of the complex as a whole.
