The main task was to con­tinue Dern­burg’s de­sign us­ing a con­tem­po­rary lan­guage of sym­bols and the char­ac­ter­is­tic dy­nam­ics of the era to bal­ance the scale of the build­ing. The co­her­ence of the old and new parts was achieved through the right pro­por­tions, mass re­duc­tion, hor­i­zon­tal di­vi­sions and the prop­er­ties of the ma­te­ri­als. The dy­namism of the un­am­bigu­ously hor­i­zon­tal façade of the new part was in­ten­si­fied by the fan-like de­flec­tion of the cor­nices. The back­ground, made up of glass and fi­bre ce­ment pan­els, cor­re­sponds to the ce­ram­ics of the his­toric ed­i­fice. The two parts of the build­ing are con­nected through an en­trance atrium.
