Bauhaus

In 1919, Walter Gropius founded a school in Weimar (Germany) that combined craftsmanship with technology and that laid the foundations for modern design in the 20th century.

The school had three periods, each in one of its headquarters: Weinmar, Dassau, and Berlin. The Nazi regime closed the school in 1933, but teachers and students disseminated the methodology and ideas around the world.

Activities

To commemorate the centenary, courses and hackathons were organized in MediaLab to share and, most importantly, work with the principles of this school. - Checkmating the Bauhaus. A course in which a chess board and pieces are designed, to play a game of chess at the end of the session. - Bauhaus Experience. A summer course focused on typography, creativity, product design, and new technologies. - Bauhaus Hackathon. Two intensive days to create projects based on the creativity, design, and philosophy of the Bauhaus school.
