The Summer School consists of six topical workshops and a series of public lectures.About the workshops: Participants in the workshops will analyse on-site the built manifestations of a particular phase of urban development in Dessau, the Bauhaus City – a phase, where the urban coherencies and reciprocal relations have by now become obscured. The focus will move on from the discovery of historic traces to encompass the discovery of contrasts in each given urban situation, arising from the changes made to the buildings and their shifting positions in their developing urban environment. The analysis of these urban situations will result in critical commentaries, installations, performances and urban interventions.
