The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation is a centre for experimental design, research and teaching. The key concept in all areas of the Foundation’s work is the discourse of Modernism. It forms the bridge between the historical Bauhaus and the Bauhaus as it is today.
The Edition Bauhaus reflects the activities of the foundation and acts as its voice. It illustrates the breadth and depth of the research that is carried out and documents the outcome of the many different projects. The publications in the series cover the work of the international Bauhaus Kolleg and the ‘IBA Stadtumbau Sachsen-Anhalt 2010 (International Building Exhibition Stadtumbau Sachsen-Anhalt 2010) as well as the Bauhaus collection, the Bauhaus stage projects and the preservation of monuments.
The subjects dealt with in the Edition Bauhaus are as varied as the undertakings of the Foundation itself. The main focus is on architecture, creative production, design, the historical Bauhaus, urban issues, artistic projects and the relevant theoretical discourses – the overarching objective being to provide a critical reflection of Modernism.

The Bauhaus Building in Dessau, designed by Walter Gropius in 1926, represents a “built manifesto of Bauhaus ideas” and is one of modernism’s most important buildings. Together with the associated Masters’ Houses (Meisterhäuser), the Houses with Balcony Access (Laubenganghäuser) in Dessau, and Bauhaus buildings in Weimar and Bernau, it is included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List. The book focuses on strategies for preserving the Bauhaus Building. It presents the building—and its eventful history—from its construction to its destruction, rebuilding, and restoration. Using texts, photographs, and numerous blueprints, the book provides a detailed exploration of specific aspects of the architecture—such as the building’s outer shell, materials, construction, color scheme, and surfaces—and the long-term preservation concept for the site. In doing so, it proposes structural measures aimed at adapting the building to today’s challenges and at conserving the building with its historic and artistic characteristics.
