4th International Bauhaus Award 2006

In 2006 the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation will be presenting the 4th International Bauhaus Award.

The award is presented every other year to young designers, artists and researchers for innovative work on the city, on architecture and design.

Conferred for the first time in 2000, the award has advanced to become an internationally acclaimed competition.

With its eye on a critical examination of Modernism, the Foundation uses the award to promote, in particular, ideas and projects that identify with the basic values of Modernism while updating them to cater for future needs.

An international panel of judges will choose the recipients of the awards in a two-tier selection process.

A sum of 6,000 Euro will be awarded for the first prize, 4,000 Euro for the second and 2,000 Euro for the third.

The theme for the 4th International Bauhaus Award is "Updating Modernism".

How do we update Modernism in the case of the Bauhaus World Cultural Heritage?

The Foundation is interested in forward-looking ideas for the Gropius Director's House in the Ensemble of Masters' Houses in Dessau.
