What was the relevance of these structures at the turn of a new century? In 2010, after consultation with the British architect David Chipperfield, the decision was made to reinterpret the House Gropius and House Moholy-Nagy using contemporary means, rather than rebuilding them as 1:1 reconstructions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Berlin firm Bruno-Fioretti-Marquez was commissioned to design new Masters' Houses. These new structures use the same formal vocabulary of simple, functional forms and right angles as the original Bauhaus buildings, but update these for the 21st century through selective reduction and abstraction. The project represents a unique, thoughtful engagement with the problems of architectural reconstruction grounded in criticality and creativity rather than blind reverence. \u003ci\u003eThe New Masters' Houses in Dessau, 1925-2014\u003c\/i\u003e describes the checkered history of the Dessau Masters' Houses and presents the reconstructed buildings for the first time in book form, with photographs by Armin Linke and Heidi Specker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 11 x 7.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 22, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47505989140658,"sku":"9783944669731","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/pzgmIXh9GT9783944669731.webp?v=1779543652","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-new-masters-houses-in-dessau-1925-2014-debates-positions-contexts-edition-bauhaus-46-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
