ABSTRACT
From its founding in Weimar to the Dessau and Berlin periods, the Bauhaus went through a number of transformations. Two definite trends can be identified: first, the growing significance placed on architecture; second, the increased efforts to establish collaborations with industry. These developments affected the way in which the Bauhäusler worked, and the public image promoted by the school was also adapted to these tendencies. The programmatic shift coming along with its movement to Dessau is mirrored by the communication tools and can be illustrated on the example of two outstanding media events in the history of the Bauhaus: the Bauhaus week of 1923 in Weimar (for details on the exhibition part, see Chapter 3) and the 1926 dedication of the new building in Dessau.
