ABOUT THE NEW SCHOOL<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

<\/div>

Denmark’s first new-built school of architecture is constructed in the heart of Aarhus – in the area known as Godsbanearealerne.<\/p>\n

We want to open up the school of architecture even more and make it an integral part of the city and the area to create a creative and socially engaging laboratory. A laboratory where tomorrow’s architecture is shaped in cooperation with the citizens of Aarhus, the municipality, business and industry, architectural practices, the construction industry, entrepreneurs, and the city’s cultural institutions.<\/p>\n

We want to maintain and develop Aarhus further as a city that is home to some of the most successful and internationally recognised architectural firms of Denmark. As a city that can attract the best students of architecture.<\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
A Scandinavian elite institution for the development of architecture<\/h5>\n

We chose to use the process of constructing a new school to strengthen and develop the school’s profile and vision under the name of NEW AARCH.<\/p>\n

NEW AARCH not only refers to the new school physically. It is our vision for tomorrow’s school of architecture: a school where we focus even more strongly on the relationship between the school, research, our programmes and society, and the world around us. We need to do this while maintaining and strengthening our artistic approach to teaching and research in architecture.<\/p>\n

The vision is that NEW AARCH will make Aarhus School of Architecture an elite institution for architectural development based on a Scandinavian tradition. A tradition that combines artistic methods, knowledge of history and theory, and the application of both the classical tools and the latest technologies. We want to be leading in digital Bildung and fabrication.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to attract the best students and train the best architects.<\/p>\n

The background to the building project<\/h5>\n

Aarhus School of Architecture was established in 1965, in an old merchant’s house at N\u00f8rreport 20, in what was only intended as temporary facilities. Since then, the school has spread to include many different addresses. The physical setting has, however, been outdated for many years.<\/p>\n

Over the years, many attempts have been made to find an ideal location for a new school. In 2015 The Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science, The Danish Building & Property Agency, Aarhus Municipality, and Aarhus School of Architecture agreed to construct a new school of architecture at a central location in Aarhus known as Godsbanearealerne. It is the best location the school could wish for. It is a location that allows us to get close to the other cultural institutions in the pulsating heart of the city. We will also be part of an environment that has the power and potential to involve the city to a much greater extent than today.<\/p>\n
