The ABC of Bauhaus, Bauhaus and Design Theory

The book tells us about the origins and flourishing of one of the most widely debated, dissected, imitated, and disseminated phenomena of modern design, the Bauhaus, and the creative impact that its pedagogical experiment had on design, psychoanalysis, geometry, early childhood education, and popular culture. While the texts, by various specialists, develop a theoretical and provocative exploration of the foundations of the famous school, the book itself—designed by Ellen Lupton and Abbott Miller—is an authentic visual manifesto of its ideals materialized through typography and the visual composition of the editors. An extraordinary manual, in short, that will continue to be an inescapable source of inspiration among design professionals and a revelation for all those interested in 20th-century culture.
