Description: Bauhaus Dessau: Architecture Design Concept/Architektur Gestaltung Idee by Kirsten Baumann Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Walter Gropius's Bauhaus Dessau was, from 1925 to 1932, the headquarters of the famous Bauhaus School of Design. After a dozen years of National Socialist use and then half a century's worth of restoration, it is now a UNESCO world cultural-heritage site, attracting some 80,000 visitors a year who seek the roots of twentieth century Modernism. This is the first book of photographs to document Gropius's masterpiece since its renovation, and it features more than 110 black-and-white images of the building and its wide range of architectural and artistic textures. It illustrates its history, its architectural elements and the interior design created for it by the Bauhaus artists, as well as its functions then and since: Bauhaus Dessau describes the work carried out in the former workshops and their most important products. For its original denizens—and again, at last, for those who visit today—the architecture, design and philosophy of the Bauhaus itself are inseparably connected to one another. Publisher Description The Bauhaus Dessau, designed by Walter Gropius, was home to the Bauhaus Dessau School of Design from 1925 to 1932. The epitome of 20th-century modern design worldwide, it attracts some 80,000 visitors annually from Germany and abroad. In 1996, the building was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. This volume shows, in over 80 unique photographs taken in the empty rooms immediately after the general renovation of 1996-2006, the transparency and lightness of an exceptionally sensate modern architecture, whose surprising and bold colouration debunks the myth of a white Modernism. Alongside the history and architecture of the building, this book also describes the work carried out in the Bauhaus Dessaus former workshops, and the most important products made there, illustrating how the Bauhaus architecture, design and concept are inseparably intertwined. Biographies of the most important Bauhaus associates complete the picture. Bauhaus Dessau offers aesthetic pleasure, ageless inspiration and a lively point of view, and brings this legendary building within the readers grasp. 78 colour, 4 b/w images Details ISBN 3939633119 ISBN-13 9783939633112 Title Bauhaus Dessau: Architecture Design Concept/Architektur Gestaltung Idee Author Kirsten Baumann Format Paperback Year 2007 Pages 143 Publisher Jovis GE_Item_ID:157818914; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
