Beyond Bauhaus: New Approaches to Architecture and Design Theory
The ever new preoccupation with the avant-garde movements of the 20th century is an integral part of the theoretical discourse of architecture, art and design. The authors of this volume take the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus as an occasion for a critical revision of its pedagogical concepts, gender policy and design theoretical implications. Finally, the contributions open up new perspectives on the increasingly hybridising fields of the design disciplines between virtual environments, the aesthetics of sustainable design, biotechnology and the question of a postcolonial ethic.
