Beaux-Arts to Bauhaus: How Two Schools Shaped Architectural Visualization

2019-01-24T10:19:00-05:00

In our series Iconic Buildings, we speak to people who live or work in buildings of architectural significance. Is their exposure to an architectural wonder on a daily basis a source of inspiration or simply part of the backdrop?

In this feature we spoke to the Director of the Bauhaus-Archiv Annemarie Jaeggi. 2019 marks the centenary of the foundation and will be celebrated with a "100 years of Bauhaus" festival, an opportunity to reflect on the significant historical legacy of the Bauhaus. Annemarie and the team are currently located on a temporary site while the Bauhaus-Archiv is being renovated and extended, with the addition of a new building to the site. She takes us through her role, what the building means to her, and what the next 100 years hold.
