Bauhaus Campus

Series of lectures on ideology and design methods of the Bauhaus movement in collaboration with Arkitekturo — a global educational project facilitating an extended curriculum for architecture programs. Comparative teaching on the relevance of Bauhaus principles then and a century later drawing similarities in social, cultural and political developments.

As one of the early proponents of the modern movement representing new ideology, concept and method of design, Bauhaus mirrored the rearrangement of life based on modern principles of science, which became omnipresent in the society during the reformation process of the post-World War I Germany. 

Founded in 1919, it was shocking, rebellious and greatly disturbing to those who were determined to preserve a traditional form of life, imbued with history, nationalism and racial identity. After being denounced as ‚degenerate art’ by the right wing oriented parties, Bauhaus was forcibly closed in 1933. Being a medium of ‚Neue Sachlichkeit’ (New Objectivity), it enabled radical experimentation in arts contributing to a growing role of the universal aesthetics in the industrial mass production.

Focus on historical context, political circumstances, ideology / methods, technology, concept, design analysis / female figures of Bauhaus and their designs.
