Discourse | Cracks | Narrative

The international conference under the banner of “Bauhaus Matters” interrogates the physical materials and the ideas at the core of the Bauhaus and its role within the narratives of modern architecture. Across three thematic blocks, “Building materials: mediums of modernism”, “Architecture of the building industry” and “Building as assemblage”, the iconic building will be scrutinised in the lectures and panel discussions. The findings could result in model practices for taking care of the Bauhaus Building in future. At the same time, they are an invitation for debating contemporary architecture in dialogue with the architectural heritage of the Bauhaus.
