Google Arts & Culture: Bauhaus Everywhere – Traces of a design school in our everyday lives

Google Arts & Culture: Bauhaus Everywhere – Traces of a #design school in our everyday lives


The #online exhibition Bauhaus Everywhere – Traces of a #design school in our everyday lives by Google Arts & Culture and the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation shows how the Bauhaus influences architecture, #design and our everyday lives still today – and, at the same time, makes important objects accessible for international Bauhaus
research.
With Bauhaus Everywhere – Traces of a #design school in our everyday lives, 10,000 digitised objects can be researched, the Bauhaus Building in Dessau explored in Virtual Reality (VR) and three never realized Bauhaus buildings – the Round House by Carl Fieger, the residential project BAMBOS by Marcel Breuer, and the Courtyard House by Eduard Ludwig – discovered from the inside and from the outside using Augmented Reality (AR). In addition, Bauhaus experts of the #bauhausdessaufoundation and other partners worldwide have curated 45 #online exhibitions on the student life at the Bauhaus, on international Bauhaus connections to Japan, India or Brazil, on the women at the Bauhaus or on the #design icons.
The project is a great benefit for the #bauhausdessaufoundation. Its collection comprises about 50,000 objects, most of which are kept protected in the Bauhaus Archive with limited public access for conservational reasons. A total of 14,600 objects have now been digitised in accordance with the latest international standards. Dr Claudia Perren, director and CEO of the #bauhausdessaufoundation: Digitalisation enables us to make a part of our collection accessible worldwide. (View of the objects digitized within the framework of the project, which are free of rights of third parties.)
