THE SPIRIT OF THE BAUHAUS TODAY

 

FIRST, WE ANALYZED THE BEST SPOT OF THE LAND TO GENERATE A PUBLIC MEETING POINT FOR THE CITY.

 

WE DIVIDED THE PROGRAM INTO THREE AREAS: THE CAMPUS, THE RESIDENCE AND THE AMPHITHEATER. THESE HELPED US TO CREATE A PLAZA, THAT WORKS AS A MEETING POINT.

 

GENERATE A PLAY OF VOLUMES, BEING THE MAIN ONE THE CAMPUS AND THE SECONDARY ONES THE RESIDENCE AND THE AMPHITHEATER.

 

 

FROM A MACRO PERSPECTIVE, THE IMPACT GENERATED IN THE CONTEXT OF DESSAU IS CREATING A CIRCUIT THROUGH A BIKE PATH, WHICH WILL LINK THE THREE ARCHITECTURAL LANDMARKS.

 

THE CONCEPT WE USED FOR DESIGNING THE NEW BAUHAUS 2021, IS BASED ON A SHORT STORY CALLED “THE CIRCULAR RUINS” WRITTEN BY JORGE LUIS BORGES, A LATIN AMERICAN AUTHOR. IN THIS STORY, HE CREATES A DREAM WITHIN ANOTHER DREAM WHICH GOES ON AND ON IN A LOOP. WE TOOK THIS AND TRANSFORMED DREAMS IN SPACES, MEANING THAT A LARGE SPACE CONTAINS MORE SPACES; ALL CONCATENATED WITH EACH OTHER.

 

 

THE LARGE VOLUMES CONTAIN THE DIFFERENT SPACES OF THE PROGRAM.

 

FOLLOWING THE CONCEPT, WE GENERATED THIS SPATIAL PERCEPTION, BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT SPACES THE EXHIBITION SPACE AND THE WORKSHOPS.

 

EPICENTER FOR CULTURE

 

STRONG AND SERENE. A LOUDLY SIMPLICITY.

 

BAUHAUS 2021 AS A PUBLIC GATHERING LANDMARK.

 

THE ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE THAT THE BUILDING PROVIDES TO THE CITY BECAUSE OF ITS SIMPLICITY REGULATED BY AN UNQUESTIONABLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE PIECE.
