Bauhaus World

The three-part documentary bauhausWORLD marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of Germany's best-known art, architecture and design school, the Bauhaus. Exploring the legacy of this iconic German institution, our film crew traveled the world, meeting architects, artists, urban planners, doers and dreamers. Do the Bauhaus' social ideals and design principles still shape how we live today? Filmmaker Lydia Ranke and her team travel the world to make the three-part documentary bauhausWORLD. Alongside the Bauhaus sites of Weimar, Dessau and Berlin, they visit cities such as Tokyo, Amman, Tel Aviv, New York, Chicago, Mexico City and Medellín. There they talk to experts from architects Norman Foster and Tatiana Bilbao to architecture critic Mark Wigley, furniture designer Yinka Ilori and fashion designer Kasia Kucharska.
