bauhausWORLD

"The Code" is the first part of bauhausWORLD. The search for the secret of Bauhaus's enduring success leads all the way to Japan. This journey illustrates how the forced closure of the school drove the movement into exile but served to spread its philosophy around the world.

Part 2 of bauhausWORLD, "The Effect", takes viewers on a journey from Dessau to New York, Älmhult in Sweden and Ulm in Germany to examine the influence that Bauhaus still exerts on art, design and architecture around the globe. Nowadays the name of Bauhaus has been transformed into a brand. Is it to blame for the modern world's obsession with design?

The third and last part of Bauhaus World, "The Utopia", explores the influence of the Bauhaus philosophy on today's globalized society. What is its legacy? What became of its utopic visions of the future? Do they still have relevance in the 21st century? We find out if the questions that Bauhaus posed have been answered, and if we can still learn from the solutions it proposed 100 years ago.
