Bauhausworld: The Code

Synopsis
How has the Bauhaus school of architecture and design, Germany’s best-known art school, shaped the world we live in today?
This is a three-part documentary to mark the 100th anniversary of the opening of Germany’s best-known art, architecture and design school, the Bauhaus. It explores the legacy of this iconic German institution by asking architects, artists, urban planners, doers and dreamers: Do the Bauhaus’s social ideals and design principles still shape how we live today?
In the first part of bauhausWORLD, the search for the secret of Bauhaus’s enduring success leads all the way to Japan and illustrates how the forced closure of the school that drove the movement into exile served to spread its philosophy around the world.
