PARKCYCLE SWARM

The PARKCYCLE SWARM's mobile spatial structures by the Hamburg artist collective N55 & TILL WOLFER are to be understood as active temporary urban design and are intended to intervene in urban planning as a do-it-yourself principle. Whether along a mobile route of Bauhaus buildings and Bauhaus sites or as a static park landscape at crossroads - the PARKCYCLE SWARM can be used in a variety of ways and creates public spaces and new communication spaces. The loan can be reserved.

On the history of the Bauhaus

On 1 April 1925, provisional teaching began at the art school in Dessau. In just one and a half years, Walter Gropius built the Bauhaus building and the Meisterhaus estate in Dessau. The first terraced houses in the Törten estate followed as early as the summer of 1926. Further buildings were erected until 1932: the Konsumgebäude and the Arbeitsamt by Gropius, the Laubenganghäuser in the Törten estate by Hannes Meyer (1889-1954), the second Bauhaus director, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969), the third director from 1930 onwards, left behind a Trinkhalle, which, however, only exists in a new interpretation by bruno fioretti marquez from 2014.

Thus, in just a few years, a unique ensemble of Bauhaus buildings was created in Dessau, the majority of which have been preserved to this day. In no other city has the Bauhaus had such a lasting impact as in Dessau, and nowhere else is it still so present today. The Bauhaus building and the Meisterhaus estate have been part of the Unesco World Heritage since 1996.
