Bavarian School of Law, Pegnitz
[1-2] Law, justice and their executive organs are inextricably linked to social reality. They are determined by historical situation. At the same time a development takes place which runs parallel to societies development. All training and education areas of the School of Justice concentrate on the Law and it´s concrete application. Law as concept, as worth, as statute, as ideal, as vision. Alongside these, every employee has his or her own motivation, vision why he or she has chosen this specialist area as a career.
The illuminated photographs as chain of association for the personal and vocational stance? The goal of the concept is, in any case, the awakening of associations, a motivation for discussion, the finding of other pictures after / during the educational phases (pauses), identification or points of friction. These photographs are placed in the foyer, the cafeteria and along the principal axis.
Alongside the content aspect, the multiple concept is formally linked to the school´s building:
The building shows itself through it´s distinctive graphic elements, including: the graphic alignment of the main building, "point like" adjoining buildings, in the grey dressing of the main building ground floor, in the window design and the sliding blinds of the main building, the three chimneys, blinds on the atrium building and so on.
