Each attitude is at odds with the others, a productive tension resonating through the design.
These combinations allow the building to fluctuate character between a huddle of singular objects, a sinuous coil of circulation continuity, and a matrix of gridded repetition. The bellies of the vessels swell to overlap each other creating an open continuous floor plan that connects the entire museum with a single floor. The vessels hover above the site on trunk-like legs, creating a light touch in the park that also allows passage underneath. We call these objects “vessels” as they allude to the crafted object of a vase or volumetric container. Our proposal for the Bauhaus Museum Dessau is designed as a collection of individual masses aggregated serially on a grid. To reduce this history to only one aspect is to diminish the rich complexity which is the Bauhaus. It was a school, a social collective, an ideology, a body of artwork, a workshop for industry, and the fount of one of western culture’s most enduring modern design legacies. This lack of resolution reflects the multiplicity of understandings of the Bauhaus.
