On the occasion of the anniversary year, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar will be supporting projects that deal with the ideas, history, and development of Bauhaus. The projects submitted by students, research assistants, professors, and alumni will all play a major role in the University’s anniversary programme, an overview of which can be found on this site.
Projects
Contemporary Bauhaus – Receptions for contemporary education
A publication will be complied on the relevancy of Bauhaus in teaching art and design and the current professionalization of art, design, architecture, and communications between October 2017 and September 2019.
DENKRAUM BAUHAUS
A national conference is being planned for 2019 during which the question of contemporary pedagogy for the next generation and the responsibility of architects, artists, and designers in the teaching of personal responsibility and social participation will be considered. The latter forms the focus of the interdisciplinary discourse on the topicality of the utopias and pedagogy of the Bauhaus in their reception for contemporary education.
Reinvention of Matter
At the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, the value of used goods has been reassessed and questioned in a collaboration between artists who examine a find and environmental engineers who deal with infrastructure for waste and water. The used material, which is still referred to as rubbish, waste or sewage, gains a new perspective through the consideration and symbolisation of its constant change and transformation.
Phosphorus Donation
With the P-BANK, an interactive toilet, the Bauhaus Institute for Infrastructure Solutions is highlighting the environmental topics of the phosphorus shortage and the circulation of nutrients.
