Founded in 1919, the BAUHAUS combined the fine arts, crafts and design under one roof with the aim of creating a Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art. It existed in three German cities — Weimar, Dessau and Berlin — and under three architect-directors: Gropius, Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
Is the BAUHAUS message still relevant? Claudia Perren, Director of the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau, has an answer.
