Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed the Lemke country house, the Mies van der Rohe Haus, during his time as director of the Bauhaus. For his architecture students, Pius Pahl, Eduard Ludwig, or Rudolf Ortner, to name only three, the house was a welcome object of study.
And this authentic location continues to be an inspiration, and a living example of the spirit of Modernism. Accordingly, throughout 2019, the Mies van der Rohe Haus will be celebrating 100 years of the Bauhaus. Ever onwards: humorous, critical, and Dadaist.
Four themed exhibitions are planned: ‘Delight in the World’, ‘Movement as Dream’, ‘Innovations and Prescriptions’, and ‘White Box’. Alongside the exhibitions, there will be two Bauhaus festivals and a research project about the Japanese Bauhaus student Michiko Yamawaki.
