In 2019 it will be the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus. Prompted by this occasion, with "project bauhaus" ARCH+ has undertaken a critical appraisal of the Bauhaus ideas: working for several years, an international group of experts from a wide range of disciplines has investigated the socio-political relevance and emancipatory potential of the Bauhaus – historically, for today, and for the future. How can design still become effective as a political project? What are the possibilities and problems encountered by universal design in the age of globalisation? Can the emancipatory potential of technology still be activated in a digitalised world? The answers to these questions are published here for the first time for an international readership.
ISBN 9783035619485. Birkhauser Verlag. pb. 240 pages, 350 colour. 24 x 19.5 cm.
