A Conceptual Model
The Exhibition
Peter Keler
Cradle, 1922
Klassik Stiftung Weimar
The exhibition recounts the story of the Bauhaus in a compre-
hensive presentation of the works of its masters and students
as well as the most important school issues. Inter-disciplinary,
experimental teaching, the concept of practice-oriented work-
shops, the pursuit of answers to social questions, the propaga-
tion of timeless aesthetics as well as experimentation with new
techniques and materials in architecture and design were the
school’s most important concerns. The exhibition Bauhaus.
A Conceptual Model centres on the comprehensive signifi-
cance of the Bauhaus for the development and internationalisation
of modernity and goes beyond, examining its world-wide, lasting
impact on architecture and design up until the present day.
