包豪斯一百周年

任务：设计一幅 “投影海报” ，宣布包豪斯建筑一百周年纪念的一系列活动。

This assignment coincides with the 100th Anniversary of the Bauhaus, an event that stemmed from the association of considerable partners, mostly in Germany but also abroad, who gathered to create together a global event surrounding the history and the legacy of the Bauhaus. This is the movement that will serve as a background for this semester’s project. In this assignment, you will be asked to survey the activities of the centenary and collect information with the goal of organizing a coherent series of already existing events, that you will advertize in a poster.

(The Bauhaus Association 2019 is a group of many contributors working in close cooperation, including the three Bauhaus institutions that maintain collections – in Berlin, Dessau and Weimar – along with the German Federal Government, represented by the Commissioner for Culture and Media (BKM) and the Federal Cultural Foundation under her mandate, and ten German states.)(source)
