Series Statement: Arch+ : Zeitschrift für Architektur und Urbanismus ; 52, special issue

Content: "In 2019 it will be the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus. Prompted by this occasion, with 'project bauhaus' ARCH+ has undertaken a critical appraisal of the Bauhaus ideas: working for several years, an international group of experts from a wide range of disciplines has investigated the socio-political relevance and emancipatory potential of the Bauhaus -- historically, for today, and for the future. How can design still become effective as a political project? What are the possibilities and problems encountered by universal design in the age of globalization? Can the emancipatory potential of technology still be activated in a digitalized world? The answers to these questions are published here for the first time for an international readership."

Content: "With project bauhaus we have subjected the ideas of the Bauhaus to a radical review. At the start of the project in 2015, the fundamental question Can Design Change Society? was formulated in a two-day symposium and in an exhibition at Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin. Over the next two years, we held a symposium addressing the topic Can the Universal be Specific? as well as the Preliminary Course: From Bauhaus to Silicon Valley. A special highlight of the project was the Datatopia Workshop and Summer School in 2018, which took place at the Floating University designed by raumlabor. This event served to link the discourse on the datafication of society to basic issues concerning new spaces for the transfer of information and knowledge. The project has now come to a close in 2019 with the events Ciao Bauhaus! and Bauhaus: A Redeeming Requiem, the latter a play directed by Schorsch Kamerun at the Volksbühne in Berlin, with which we would like to finally send the Bauhaus to its grave."

Content: "With this issue we begin a long-term collaboration with the renowned publisher Birkhäuser in order to regularly publish ARCH+ in English and bring the magazine to an international readership through their worldwide network. At least one ARCH+ issues per year will be conceived for international distribution and published entirely in English. Please check regularly what we have on offer. Depending on your location it might be better in terms of shipping to place your order directly with Birkhäuser. We are interested in the Bauhaus from a contemporary perspective- not the fetishization and mythologization of a legacy. In our view, many of the objectives of classical modernism show promise for the present day-be it design's alignment to utility and function, the belief in the emancipatory potential of design, the integration of design with diverse forms of modernday under standing and technologies, or the critique of the present through design. Our focus lies less on actual Bauhaus products than on the school's ambitions and methods. In the interests of a reflective modernism, we want to examine and critically reflect on the history of the development and impact of the historic Bauhaus, so that we can also learn from its mistakes and impasses. This international edition on the work of project bauhaus now offers English readers a comprehensive overview of our multi-year research, artistic, performance, and publication project, which involved the participation of more than a hundred renowned scientists, artists, architects, and designers from around the world.
