Look back, think forward: Bauhaus-Council Berlin

The Bauhaus was founded during a period of upheaval – political, technological and social. Today, we are also facing profound transformations. The principles of the Bauhaus – the combination of art, craft, technology and industry – still inspire us today to imagine new paths and actively shape the future.

The Bauhaus Council Berlin is a platform and source of inspiration: it promotes endowments to the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung and connects designers, companies and researchers. Formats such as the Bauhaus-Lab generate creative spaces for exchange and innovation – in dialogue with global thought leaders.
