Description: A century after the founding of the Bauhaus-probably the most popular and yet controversial art school in Weimar-its name has become a byword, as well as a myth. Entire generations have been confronted with, and socialized by, the factual, down-to-earth, and functional Bauhaus architecture. Trailblazers, allies, and heirs to modernism are united by an architectural language generally described as "Bauhaus." The Bauhaus legacy, which the photographer Jean Molitor has been tracking around the world since 2009, is presented here in this catalogue. Exhibition: BOX Freiraum, Berlin, Germany (20.06.-28.10.2018) / Henry van der Velde-Museum, Haus Schulenburg, Gera, Germany (13.10.-22.12.2018) / Willy-Brandt-Haus, Berlin, Germany (15.01.-03.03.2019).
