{"product_id":"bauhaus-futures-non-mint","title":"Bauhaus Futures (Non-mint)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat would keep the Bauhaus up at night if it were practicing today? A century after its founding by Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany, as an “experimental laboratory of the future,” who are the pioneering experimentalists who re-inscribe or resist Bauhaus traditions? This book explores the varied legacies, influences, and futures of the Bauhaus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the animating issues of the Bauhaus - its integration of research, teaching, and practice; its experimentation with materials; its democratisation of design; its open-minded, heterogeneous approach to ideas, theories, methods, and styles - remain relevant. The contributors to \u003cem\u003eBauhaus Futures\u003c\/em\u003e address these but go further, considering issues that design has largely ignored for the last hundred years: gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and disability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir contributions take the form of essays, photo-essays, interviews, manifestos, diagrams, and even a play. They discuss, among other things, the Bauhaus curriculum and its contemporary offshoots; Bauhaus legacies at the MIT Media Lab, Black Mountain College, and elsewhere; the conflict between the Bauhaus ideal of humanist universalism and current approaches to design concerned with race and justice; designed objects, from the iconic to the precarious; textile and weaving work by women in the Bauhaus and the present day; and design and technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ePLEASE NOTE: This book is a NON-MINT item.
