5 CONTEMPORARY DESIGNERS ON THE BAUHAUS LEGACY

摘要

"At first gasp, I shrink from the Bauhaus, thinking of strong Gropius modernism and lots of squared-up Helvetica type, but on a moment's reflection, it is not about that at all. The Bauhaus with which I am more familiar is about embracing humanistic traits, and exercising them on a human scale so as to capture the 'spirit' that was being lost in the mechanization of processes. My own experiments in design embrace the handmade and bear the evidence, the memory, of being 'handcrafted,' which is something that has a different resonance in the information age."rn"The idea of the designer as entrepreneur is a direct connection to the Bauhaus. Their philosophy of the whole work of art is key to the multiplatform design being done today."
