Bauhaus. Places. Experience.
Journeys lead to the origins of modern design, part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin are places where architecture, art, and craft came together in a new vision of form. Their buildings, ideas, and ideals continue to influence how we understand space, structure, and function. They remain living symbols of a movement that reshaped the modern world.
