Bauhaus Innovations: Urban Ecology, Interdisciplinary Learning, Social Empowerment

Starting at the origins of this pioneering architectural movement, Jana Revedin will focus on three key innovation areas in research, design, and education revolutionized by the Walter Gropius’ High School of Building and Design Engineering: urban ecology, interdisciplinary learning, and social empowerment.

After the talk, Jana will read from her biographical novel Everyone Here Calls Me Frau Bauhaus. The Life of Ise Frank which tells the undeservedly forgotten story of the second wife of Walter Gropius, the legendary founder of the Bauhaus.

“Velimir Khlebnikov. Zangezi. Commemorating the 135th Anniversary of poet's birth.” Presentation of an art project of Boris Trofimov's workshop, Institute of Business and Design

Boris Trofimov's workshop marks the 135th anniversary of Khlebnikov's birth with a bilingual edition of the Zangezi supersaga. Russian and English texts are brought together under one cover, just as the stellar language brings together different worlds. Languages come closer and meet right in the center of the book where a huge typographical section is placed. This section, called “The Art of Word Architecture” and based on the Zangezi phonetical system, is an attempt of a visual interpretation of the supersaga using typography. The book was published by Boslen in 2020.

Speaker

Boris Trofimov, graphic designer and head of the creative workshop at the Institute of Business and Design in Moscow, Russia

Time
14:00–15:00
