Glass | Concrete | Metal

Walter Gropius once called iron, concrete and glass the new industrial materials that would “supersede” the old natural ones. The Bauhaus Building itself is a testament to numerous material innovations that emerged in industry and in the construction sector of the 1920s. This three-part exhibition is dedicated to the materials the building is mainly made of and with which Bauhauslers experimented in the Bauhaus workshops. Through historical photographs, tools, documents and equipment, the exhibition gives insights into the material, economic and technological foundations of the iconic building and its workshop production, an aspect that has received little attention until now. The exhibition is accompanied by a series of Material Talks.
