Housebuilding today is the sum of many things. Interesting design, sustainable construction and a healthy room climate have all grown tremendously in importance. And building itself is also becoming more digital. The long-established company Baumit is a beacon of construction excellence and stands for modern, high-quality products. Sebastian Rettke, Head of Marketing at Baumit, talks to us about how the building materials manufacturer is tackling digitalisation.
Bauhaus: a concept that set a precedent – both in Germany and across the globe. Functional design and modern construction shaped an era; this dream of a synthesis of all art forms and crafts, architecture and design, dance and theatre provides inspiration to this very day – for our cultural output and for our living environments. The Bauhaus School was a lively school of thought and a testing ground for liberal and applied arts, design, architecture and education. Even though the Bauhaus School only existed for 14 years, it is celebrating the 100thanniversary of its establishment this year. Initially it was set up as the “Staatliches Bauhaus” (State Bauhaus School) in Weimar, than as the “Hochschule für Gestaltung” (University of Design) in Dessau and finally as a private educational institution in Berlin. Its ideas have had an impact that has reached far beyond the school, its sites and its time.
