Summary:Das Bauhaus kommt aus Weimar und kehrt im Frühjahr 2019 in ein neues Haus zurück. Im neu errichteten Bauhaus museum weimar werden erstmals die Schätze der ältesten Bauhaus-Sammlung der Welt geschlossen gezeigt. Der Band präsentiert jedoch nicht nur Design-Ikonen, sondern ermöglicht anhand einer Vielzahl weiterer Objekte einen Blick hinter die Fassade des Mythos Bauhaus.00Nicht als Museumsführer im klassischen Sinne, sondern als Themenband zu Kernfragen der Bauhauszeit wie dem Neuen Menschen oder der Gestaltung des Alltags eröffnet der offizielle Band zum neuen bauhaus museum weimar neue Perspektiven auf das Bauhaus. Am Beispiel zenƯtraler Aspekte der Ausstellung stellt sich damals wie heute die generelle Frage: ?Wie wollen wir leben?± Die BauhausƯIdee wird auf Potenziale für die Gestaltung der Gegenwart untersucht und als Teil eines lokalen wie weltweiten Netzwerkes verortet. Vertiefende Informationen regen zum Weiterdenken an. Das Buch beleuchtet zudem Architekturkonzept, BauƯprozess und städtebauliche Kriterien des Museumsneubaus von Heike Hanada. Exhibition: Bauhaus-Museum Weimar, Klassik Stiftung Weimar, Germany (starting 06.04.2019).
The year 1919 saw the founding of the legendary Bauhaus school in Weimar. This richly illustrated book, which accompanies the historic opening of the new Bauhaus Museum Weimar, showcases iconic objects from the museum's collection--the oldest such collection in the world--and offers essential context for understanding the truth behind the myth of the Bauhaus. The entries in this volume discuss core concepts of the period, such as the New Man and the design of everyday life. Throughout, the reader finds echoes of a simple question, one that is as pressing today as when the first members of the school posed it: "How do we want to live?" Importantly, the ideals of the Bauhaus school are discussed here with an eye to their current global relevance. In addition, the book traces the history of the Bauhaus Museum Weimar itself, opening a valuable new chapter in the story of one of the most influential movements of the twentieth century.
Description
Summary:

The Bauhaus originated in Weimar and returns to a new building there in the spring of 2019. In the newly built Bauhaus Museum Weimar the treasures of the world's oldest Bauhaus collection will be shown as an ensemble. This volume does not only present design icons, however; it also provides by means of a large number of additional objects a glimpse behind the façade of the Bauhaus myth.

This is not a museum guide in the classic sense, but rather a theme volume covering the core questions of the Bauhaus period, like the New Man or the design of everyday life. This official volume on the new Bauhaus Museum Weimar opens up new perspectives on the Bauhaus. The general question "How do we want to live?" is posed today, as it was at that time, through examples of central aspects of the exhibition. The Bauhaus idea is examined for its potential with regard to the design of the present day and is positioned as part of a local and worldwide network. In-depth information encourages the reader to think further. The book also illuminates the architectural concept, the construction process and the town-planning criteria for the new museum building by Heike Hanada.
