Since 2013 DESSAU population decreased in 20 000 people. If this continues
at the same rithm, in 2060 half of the population will be lost and no one
will live there by end of the century. Dessau is a city in ABANDONMENT.
Where buildings are demolished to be replaced for green areas.
The BAUHAUS 2021 will not be MONUMENTAL. Will not be expensive infrastructure
or a big scale building. Will not be sumptuous or extravagant.
Dessau needs to clig on to the existing infrastructure and local people so it
doesn’t desapear in the actual crisis. In addition, our SITE AREA 24000m2
CAN HOLD 5 TIMES THE PROGRAM, only on ground floor for Bauhaus 2021.
The solution to various kinds of problems must be: Not only a building but a
BLOCK MASTERPLAN that rescues the traditional form of ocuparion from
downtown Dessau. Where Bauhaus 2021, located only on the North corner of the
site, Isn’t an isolated architectural icon but ONE MORE PIECE OF THE CITY.
