SPECTOR BOOKS/STIFTUNG BAUHAUS DESSAU

Co-Op Principle: Hannes Meyer and the Concept of Collective Design

Edited by Raquel Franklin. Text by Claudia Perren, Astrid Volpert.

Collective design principles from the second director of the Bauhaus

Edition Bauhaus 48 Cooperatives, sharing communities, co-housing — the collective is in high demand. At the end of the 1920s the Bauhaus took a keen interest in addressing questions surrounding the relationship between society and design, between individual and collaborative creation and production. The second Bauhaus director Hannes Meyer played a key role here radically orienting the school’s teaching and workshops and its planning and architecture around the idea and needs of the collective. Meyer’s concept of a collaborative design process was particularly revolutionary. This so-called co-op principle is now the subject of an exhibition at the Dessau Bauhaus running from 21 May to 4 October 2015.
