Enter now: Department 4 Education

摘要

While not a modern concept in itself, the department store is bound into modernism's consciousness; the high-volume consumer goods sold in them link directly to the pure, unconflicted notions of craft, utility and mass-production first propagated by the Bauhaus in 1919. Architects Eric Mendelsohn in Germany and William Crabtree in England later helped give contemporary expression to these stores - emulated by European and US architects, and creating a globally recognised aesthetic.
