BAUHAUS.JOURNAL 2017/2018
The Van-de-Velde Walk Giudebook
Drawing on the well-known Bauhaus-Walk, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar students take people interested in or already great fans of Henry van de Velde on a special tour on the trail of the exceptional architect. »From the part to the whole« is the motto of this tour, which reveals Van de Velde’s seemingly hidden and almost forgotten art school ensemble.
The guidebook was recently published in order to reflect the impressions and information provided by the tour and to allow the visitor to later experience the tour again. Stroll through hallways of the art school building, past Rodin’s »Eva«, up the rolling staircase to the light-filled atelier with its striking curved window panes. Then walk over to the building of the former Großherzoglich Sächsischen Kunstgewerbeschule, Van de Velde’s main workshop in Weimar. Feel the spirit of timelessly beautiful architecture and learn through anecdotal history about one of the most famous representatives of a language of form that, according to Van de Veld, maintained that »the age of ornaments made of tendrils, flowers and women is over«.
The guidebook is available in the Bauhaus.Atelier | Info Shop Café for Euro 12.90.
The Bauhaus Walk Guidebook
Bauhaus Walk: On the Trail of the Early Bauhaus in Weimar
Student guides have been taking guests on the trail of the early Bauhaus since 2006 with this walking tour. Experience Bauhaus University’s history and presence during the era of the State Bauhaus, when Walter Gropius, Vassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger and many others lived their ideas, worked, learned and taught.
The book captures the experience of the walking tour. It not only refers to the rich history of the university, but also describes all the stops on the walk, such as the building erected by Henry van de Velde – a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 – the murals of Oskar Schlemmer, Joost Schmidt and Herbert Bayer, Auguste Rodin’s »Eva«, Walter Gropius’ Director’s Office, the Templeherrenhaus in Park an der Ilm and the Haus am Horn, Bauhaus’ first experimental house.
Now you can take the history and the stories home with you.
The guidebook is available in the Bauhaus.Atelier | Info Shop Café for Euro 12.90. It is also available in English.
Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s Document and Publication Service (OPuS) is a collaborative effort between the university library and the university press.
