ORTEGA GARCIA, Carlos Andrés. RECOGNITION OF THE BAUHAUS: ART, DESIGN AND TECHNIQUE, 1919 - 1933. []. , 12, pp.211-225. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.vi12.436.

This article is based on a historical inquiry into the presence of the Bauhaus school and its influence in post-war Germany. The main objective of this work is to analyse the social and pedagogical dynamics nurtured by the Bauhaus within the broader political context of that time and place. In German history, 1919 is significant not only as the year in which the peace treaty was signed but also as a time of general change in people’s ways of living and understanding what the new nation would become. The Bauhaus school was designed to provide options to vindicate what the military project had left after the Great War. As an academic project, it was not only intended to be a place of dynamic new technical innovation but also conceived as an exercise in a new political approach to thinking and making and the designer’s responsibility for the environment.
