Almost 100 years ago, Bauhaus was founded in Germany as a new approach to design the way we live and to teach a new, interdisciplinary way of thinking. Architects, artists and designers such as Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Gunta Stölzl, Luzia and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy coined modernism worldwide. The German exile culture, in particular at the West coast had a great impact on the cultural life in the US.
At the Berlin Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung, the world’s largest collection of historic original Bauhaus objects and documents, in view of the centennial in 2019 and the Bauhaus-Archiv’s 2021 reopening on a new scale, the Bauhaus Council Berlin e.V. has been initiated as an interdisciplinary discursive future platform in order to ask again the old Bauhaus question: "How do we want to live“?
