A century after the founding of the Bauhaus its name has become a byword, as well as a myth. Trailblazers, allies, and heirs to modernism are united by an architectural language generally described as “Bauhaus.” The Bauhaus legacy, which Jean Molitor has been tracking around the world since 2009, is presented here in this catalogue. In his art project bau1haus Molitor focuses on the buildings’ aesthetics. He sees them as the central element in an epoch-making movement in architecture, art, and his pictures make it possible to clearly perceive this global connection.
