Das Bauhausgebäude in Dessau, 1926 von Walter Gropius geplant, gilt heute als 'gebautes Manifest der Bauhaus-Ideen' und zählt zu den bedeutendsten Bauten der Moderne. Zusammen mit den Meisterhäusern in Dessau sowie den Bauten in Weimar wurde es 1996 in die Liste des Weltkulturerbes bei der UNESCO aufgenommen. Das Bauhaus wurde zwischen 1996 und 2006 vollständig saniert. Ziel dabei war es, den Ansprüchen der heutigen Nutzung gerecht zu werden, aber vor allem den historischen und künstlerischen Wert des Gebäudes zu bewahren und wieder sichtbar zu machen. Intentionen, Methoden und Ergebnisse werden in diesem Buch ausführlich dokumentiert. Auch die auffällige farbliche Gestaltung von Oberflächen, die entgegen der landläufigen Vorstellung von der 'weißen Moderne' gerade bei den Dessauer Bauten eine große Rolle spielte, war ein wichtiges Ergebnis der Sanierungsarbeiten.

The Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany, is not just an Icon of Modernism but an international media star: ever since December 4, 1926, when Walter Gropius dedicated this building for his world-famous school of design, hundreds of magazines, books, postcards and even advertising campaigns have imprinted its image in people's minds. Of late the Bauhaus building has come to be seen as somewhat of an aging star, but on this, its 80th anniversary, its long restoration process has finally come to an end. This volume discusses the building's undiminished capacity to fascinate across three chapters--Architecture, Images and Monument--exploiting recent findings in the history and theory of architecture as well as outcomes from the renovation of the complex. Another section deals with the impact of the Bauhaus building's iconic image, while a flip-book gives a tour of the edifice.
