Bauhaus-Museum, Dessau

To this day, the Bauhaus is considered the world’s most influential school and movement for art, architecture and design in the 20th century. Founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus celebrated its centenary in 2019. Among the Bauhaus museums for the collections in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin, which were to be built almost parallel to each other, Dessau was the second location in this historical context to be opened in 2019.

It was Roberto Gonzalez Penalver and his team from Barcelona together with us – the BAL – who were inspired and especially honoured to keep the promised two and a half years of construction time and to hand over the house on time and within the specified budget .

Design and execution planning in close collaboration with the architects, tender process planning, tender and procurement support, construction supervision, construction monitoring

Light installation by the New York artist Lucy Raven

The light installation made of differently coloured glass that can be slid into each other invites playful interaction with the colour spectra of the sunlight breaking through the museum façade.

A city - a glass cube - a black box - the embodiment of an idea

At some point in the preliminary design planning process, the client and the architects were faced with the question: Of which colour should the 118 m long concrete cube inside the glass body – which is actually called the black box – be? Reaction of the architect Roberto Gonzalez Penalver: Blackbox? – Black, of course!
