Bauhaus comes to life

The Bauhaus Archive Berlin is celebrating the key ideas of the Bauhaus movement and their relevance to modern design by hosting a new series of interdisciplinary design workshops. The first workshop of the programme, June 7th until June 12th, 2010, will be held by the Berlin based designer Werner Aisslinger, and run in conjunction with the DMY Design Festival Berlin. Workshop Title is 'My Visionary Bauhaus'.

Based upon the inspirational vision manifested in the Bauhaus movement, the workshop will push the boundaries of the participants' idea of contemporary design. Engaging in the visions of the Bauhaus avant-garde, the participants will be challenged to come up with similarly revolutionary concepts today. In an intense five-day programme of conceptual and hands-on design work, the workshop will invite the participants to look towards the future and create new products and concepts whilst following the process-oriented, interdisciplinary example of the Bauhaus philosophy. The goal of the workshop is not the creation of a perfect, production-ready design or prototype, but rather to engage in an experimental creative process. Playful exploration of innovative concepts will be the central focus of this intense programme, which will be rounded off by lectures, discussion and direct feedback sessions with the workshop host and the organisers.

Located in the heart of one of the world’s most vibrant cities, the Bauhaus live programme represents an opportunity for celebrating creativity and design, and is a great chance to explore a city at the forefront of international trends and style.
