THE REINTEGRATION OF CREATIVE FORCES WAS THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE BAUHAUS BACK WHEN IT STARTED, UNIFYING VARIOUS DISCIPLINES AROUND THE CONCEPT OF BAUEN OR CONSTRUCTION WITH THE MINDSET OF CONCEIVING DESIGN AS A WHOLE WAS THEIR PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVE. THE PASSING OF TIME AND THE CURRENT CONDITIONS RAISE THE INEVITABLE QUESTION HOW CAN THESE CREATIVE FORCES BE REINTEGRATED IN OUR CONTEMPORARY TIMES?
DESSAU, COMPOSED, AND SHAPED BY MULTIPLE AND DISTINCT LAYERS OF HISTORY THAT HAVE SUPERIMPOSED EACH OTHER THROUGH THE PASSAGE OF TIME, IS NOW A FRAGMENTED AND DISPERSED CITY THAT CAN NOT DEVELOP ITSELF AS CONSOLIDATED URBAN AREA PROJECTED FOR THE FUTURE. THIS AGAIN RAISES THE QUESTION HOW CAN THESE HISTORIC FRAGMENTS/LAYERS BE LINKED?
THE CREATIVE FORCES, THE HISTORIC FRAGMENTS, THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT, THE PEOPLE AND THEIR CULTURE ARE ALL UNDERSTOOD AS ELEMENTS BELONGING TO MULTIPLE LAYERS. THEREFORE IT BECOMES NECESSARY THAT IN ORDER TO REINTEGRATE THE CREATIVE FORCES AND THE FRAGMENTS OF DESSAU, A STRUCTURE THAT SUPERIMPOSES THESE LAYERS IS ESTABLISHED, AN OVERLAY STRUCTURE. THIS BEING POSSIBLE BY THE GENERATION OF THIS STRUCTURE AS AN ELEMENT OF PERMANENCE THAT ALLOWS FOR THE EXISTENCE, RELATION, AND EVOLUTION OF MULTIPLE LAYERS WHICH HOST IDEAS, THOUGHTS, EXPERIENCES, LESSONS, PHILOSOPHIES THAT ARE IN CONSTANT INTERACTION.
