Bauhaus: The Face of the 20th Century (1994) – Art, Design – Documentary

This is the foundation of the Institute of Design.
“Chicago Bauhaus and Beyond, also know as CBB, derives its name from the New Bauhaus School of Design, located in Chicago, descendent of the influential German Bauhaus design school and precursor of the Illinois Institute of Technology’s Institute of Design. The New Bauhaus, and later IIT, played crucial roles in developing and promoting modern design.”

Bauhaus: Design in a Nutshell

“Bauhaus is design for life. Despite its mere fourteen years of existence, the German school spawned some of the most innovative and imaginative thinking in art and design post-WWI, and we’re still living with the results. With a sense of common purpose and the bettering of society in mind, students and teachers including Walter Gropius, Josef Albers, Johannes Itten, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee and László Moholy-Nagy set about fashioning a better way of living. The results spanned art, design, craft and fashion, and embraced tradition as well as technology, rigor as well as experimentation. But it wasn’t all work – those Bauhausers also knew how to party. Visual culture today wouldn’t be the same without the Bauhaus design principles. Based as they were in a sense of idealism rather than commerce and with some absolutely stunning results, there’s still a lot to learn from this school of thought.”

Everything we need and want exists out there and in here. We just need to find the right frequency.

Design for Growth

“Most people understand that design plays a big part in our everyday lives. But not everyone understands the vital role design plays in economic growth – and what it can do for businesses, public services, for our built environment and our design industry.”
