bauhaus imaginista – Moving Away: The Internationalist Architect

The Moscow exhibition "Moving Away: The Internationalist Architect" traces the complex relations between the Bauhaus and the Soviet Union in the context of contemporary international architectural movements.

With its focus on the international dissemination and reception of the Bauhaus, the Moscow exhibition Moving Away: The Internationalist Architect traces the complex relations between the Bauhaus and the Soviet Union in the context of contemporary international architectural movements. Using rarely shown archival material from the estates of Philipp Tolziner, Konrad Püschel, Tibor Weiner, Hannes Meyer, Lena Meyer-Bergner, and Lotte Stam-Beese and their work on social housing and urban planning, the project deals with the relationship between the principles of universalism, social need, and the living conditions of those involved in the design of the future society. As part of the Moscow exhibition, Wendelien van Oldenborgh will present her research leading to a new commission, on the life and work of architect Lotte Stam-Beese and her heritage in the modern-day Netherlands.
