One hundred years ago, the Bauhaus building in Dessau, designed by Walter Gropius, was inaugurated. To mark this occasion, the Cyprus German Cultural Association is hosting an evening of lectures as part of the Weeks of the German Language.

The evening will open with a brief retrospective on the Bauhaus and its far-reaching influence, presented by architect Karin Georgiades.

This will be followed by a lecture by Prof. Dr. Marios C. Phocas, entitled “From the Bauhaus Workshop to Today’s Digital Workshop.” The lecture explores how the Bauhaus brought together different forms of knowledge, materials, craftsmanship, and technologies in the shared act of building, and how today digital design, computer-aided processes, and automated fabrication are creating new forms of collaboration.
