Our New Building: Taking the Bauhaus Further

Since the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung opened in 1979, visitors have not only come to see the collection and exhibitions, but also the building itself. With the newly constructed annex, the Bauhaus-Archiv has gained another striking architectural symbol: a 20-metre glass-encased tower, supported by lightweight struts. Staab Architekten designed the facade using an innovative steel structure of 693 slightly tilted, filigree supports.
