Conceived as a multidisciplinary project encompassing architecture, design, and photography, Bauhaus twenty-21: An Ongoing Legacy is the first critical and visual exploration of the Bauhaus heritage in the context of contemporary living and architecture.
The companion publication displays interpretative photographs of Bauhaus classics in direct dialogue with some of the most innovative buildings of early 21st century architecture, all captured by the lens of New York photographer Gordon Watkinson.
With contributions by Peter Cachola Schmal, director of the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt, Michael Siebenbrodt, director of the Bauhaus-Museum in Weimar, Prof. Dr. Jaeger, a prominent architecture historian and critic, and an international set of modern-day architects discussing the legacy of Bauhaus ideas and formal language as they are reflected in their work.
