| Course Description | Art and Architecture are always related to each other. There is a thin red line between them. On the timeline of Art movements and Architectural Styles, we clearly see that relations and interactions among art and architecture. 20th Century public art had started to protect from governments. In 1919 by the initiative of an association of artists who were grounding on the constituent 142nd article of the Weimar Constitution. This article proclaims that “Art, science, and instruction in them are free. The state guarantees their protection and participates in their promotion.” Briefly, Kunst am Bau is an approach that makes investors, particularly the public state, obliged to spend the 1% of the investment cost of the public buildings to art. This obligation appears in regulations of local governments of many countries, particularly of Germany. Eventually, private investors follow the governments’ lead to integrate art into their projects. Artworks are usually presented inside or outside of the building in Kunst am Bau examples like Nord/LB’s administrative building in Hannover or Allianz AG’s office tower in Berlin. Sometimes artworks appear on the land of the building (square/entrance). Rarely, they can be found in parks, squares or other public spaces next to the buildings. Also, Kunst am Bau refers to a program, often a city ordinance, where a fee, usually some percentage of the project cost, is placed on large scale development projects in order to fund and install public art. This kind of Programmes/movements are important and useful to fund public art where private or specialized funding of public art is unavailable such as Turkey. We can see Kunst am Bau examples in Turkey before 80’s such as İMÇ, 4 Levent and single buildings and headquarters. |
