Studio

Situated in one half of an early 20th-century town house next to the main building of the Städelschule, SAC provides a near domestic setting for the social and academic life of its members. The house offers ample space for each student and sees three to five students share an atmospheric studio space. The administrative and faculty office, the model workshops and seminar rooms are housed on the floors below the studios. The studios provide space for work, desk-crits and informal and social gatherings. They are equipped with basic furniture and internet access.

The daily life of SAC consists bustling studio activities interspersed with numerous collective events taking place on a weekly basis. Work typically runs late into the evenings and meetings as well as seminars often take place on weekends. Visiting lecturers and other guests frequently drop in on the studios, and some of the most memorable visits have included planned or improvised discussion about the ongoing work with these guests. On these occasions the discussion stays very close to the ongoing research and the work of the respective students, and the informality of the setting allows for the student work to be reviewed with an incisive and yet friendly focus.

On the ground floor are the two seminar rooms, one small and one large. In these joint meetings, seminars, internal lectures and reviews take place. But despite the domestic setting of SAC, the building and the activities that take place in it are always open to visitors.
