Session 1 Recap:
We got red, blue and yellow geometric visuals out of our system.
We don't need to reduce the Bauhaus down to a visual style.
Do we have to emulate the Bauhaus style to do a project about it?
We talked about type - san serif - geometric -modular - Futura, Avenir, the use of lowercase. We were interested in if they came from this time and why.
Founders, Masters of Form, Workshop Masters, Journeymen, Students. Who was who?
Relationships. Josef and Anni, Anni and Josef
There will be lots of events for the anniversary. What and where are these?

What's the lineage from Bauhaus to Brutalism? What is the lineage to any other -isms or design disciplines and discourse?
They had a manifesto. What did it say? What other texts are associated with the time? Are these still of importance and use?
Locations: Weimer, Dessau, Berlin. How does a change in location affect the way something works? What are those locations used for now (if they still exisit)?
The Bauhaus started immediately after WW1 and was closed by the Nazis. How can politics affect or inspire creative education and industry?
Form and function.
