Did you know that Bauhaus – the influential German school of modern design – will celebrate its centenary this year? In honour of this important milestone, SAVVY Contemporary has set out to mark the anniversary with a project dubbed Spinning Triangles.
Designed by Berlin-based architect Van Bo Le-Mentzel, the 15-square-metre mobile building resembles the iconic shape of the Bauhaus school building in Dessau – originally conceived by founding director Walter Gropius and built in 1919. It features the same gridded glass walls facing the street, as well as the famous Bauhaus font.
The ‘bus’ will travel between four global cities – Dessau, Berlin, Kinshasa and Hong Kong – aiming to investigate, challenge and act against the neo-colonial power structures inherent in design practices, theory and teaching.
