[i] Bauhaus City – Get on Site[/i] 22 – 31 July Bauhaus Workshop fee: 150 Euro The Bauhaus buildings are the key markers of the radical moder- nization Dessau underwent during the first decades of the twentieth century. Today the classically modern Bauhaus buildings draw the city’s attention once again. They were restored in line with landmark regulations and the city is keen use the brand “Bauhaus City” to raise its profile. Yet the concept of “Bauhaus City” is complex. The city’s identity is made-up of both internal contradictions as well as expectations placed on it from the outside. The Foundation Bauhaus Dessau invites students and young professionals from various diclipines to use an interdisclipinary approach to investigate this unique and fascinating place. The sites to explore include the Housing Easte Dessau-Törten, the city’s job center, the Bauhaus building, the Master Houses and the Kornhaus. Workshops will be given by INTERBORO, New York; MUF, London; Michael Zinganel, Graz; Wochenklausur, Wien; Kühn & Malevezzi, Berlin; and Rimini Protokoll. A series of open-air lectures will take place at the various sites and the event will be the talk of the town.
