New shapes, materials and approaches to construction made Bauhaus proposals stand out. Its architectural designs were especially known for their avantgarde approach. But many of these bold building plans stayed just that, and were never actually constructed. In collaboration with experts from the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, the collection contains buildings that had only ever existed on paper and in the minds of their creators.
Together we assembled archival sketches, scribbles and vague descriptions to create augmented reality models of three visionary structures. In the Google Arts & Culture app anyone can now explore “Round House” by Carl Fieger, “BAMBOS” by Marcel Breuer and “Court House” by Eduard Ludwig from inside and outside.
László Moholy-Nagy, a teacher at the Bauhaus, put it this way: “Design is not a profession, design is an attitude.” We hope you’ll see that the Bauhaus attitude is not just everywhere but, through this exhibit, also for everyone.
