Bauhaus

our trip last sunday to the bauhaus in dessau was a great experience. we had an early morning so we could make it to the early train to dessau. the train ride was fine, only about two hours. once we arrived our enthusiastic tour guide from new york met us at the train station. we then visited the federal environmental agency building, which was great. the building was implementing some great techniques for energy effeciency and green design. i wont go so much into that building as the main event was the bauhaus.


the experience at bauhaus was great seeing first hand where some of the world's greatest architects either studied or taught, as well as seeing the technology that was being implemented as such an early time. the architecture was tremendously ahead of its time and it was great to really see where modern architecture as we know it really began to get started. we also were able to see the master's houses, which were very interesting, especially the insides ie. kandinsky's golden wall. after this, our day came to a close and we got on to the train and made our way back to berlin.
