As part of the student project “Reconstruction of an L-shaped residential building by Ludwig Hilberseimer for the Dessau-Törten Housing Estate”, three housing estate development models were created in 2019 under the direction of Philipp Oswalt, in addition to a model entitled “The Growing House”.
These models illustrate the urban transformation of the entire area from its planning and development in the mid-1930s to the present day.
They were donated to the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation in 2020 and can be seen in the current exhibition Bakelite | Glaze | Colour.
Andreas Butter, Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, will explain the special features of the building’s design and relate them to the historical and political events of the time.
