As part of a semester-long project in the Human-System Interaction course, six students from Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences conceived and realized an intense, immersive experience that responded to the question: What would the Bauhaus have looked like if it had been in Darmstadt?<\\\/p><p>The concept was by no means far-fetched. When the Bauhaus in Weimar was threatened with closure, there were discussions about reopening in Darmstadt; the city rejected it due to costs. Gropius had also originally designed the architecture of the famous Bauhaus Archive with the Darmstadt site in mind, though ultimately it was built in 1954 on Berlin's Landwehr Canal. With its five-fold articulated roof form, the architect makes an allusion to the five-finger tower of Mathildenh\\u00f6he. With this in mind, the students developed an impressively naturalistic simulation of Walter Gropius' Dessau Bauhaus building \\u2013 albeit with a view of the artists' colony.<\\\/p><p>\\u00a0<\\\/p><p class=\\\"_Copy_Medium\\\"><span class=\\\"_Copy_Medium\\\">History rewritten, with attention to detail<\\\/span><\\\/p><p>The students did extensive research on the historical conditions of the relocation and the planned location of the Darmstadt Bauhaus, which was right next to the old School of Arts and Crafts and within view of Mathildenh\\u00f6he. Precise measurements of the were taken of the building site with the help of drones in order to create a replica that was as close to reality as possible. Thanks to historical photos, floor plans and other documents, the students recreated the architecture, including the interior, in great detail using the virtual reality development platform Unity and animated it with the 3D software Blender.<\\\/p><p>\\u00a0<\\\/p><p><span style=\\\"font-family: SuisseIntl-Medium-WebM;\\\">Human, all too human<\\\/span><\\\/p><p>Equipped with VR glasses and a controller, visitors could explore the school building, workshops and offices across several floors. Through numerous charming details, life at the Bauhaus came alive: Designs from Johannes Itten's course in fundamentals could be examined, machines could be used, the sounds of the gramophone could be heard, documents (such as a love letter from composer Alma Mahler in Walter Gropius' desk drawer) could be read, or an experimental film by L\\u00e1szl\\u00f3 Moholy-Nagy could be viewed. In this way, the VR installation succeeded in continuing the exhibition's focus on the interpersonal, the personal in the virtual.<\\\/p>\",\"align\":\"top\",\"row\":5,\"col\":3,\"colspan\":6,\"offsetx\":0,\"offsety\":0,\"spaceabove\":0,\"spacebelow\":0,\"yvel\":1,\"push\":3,\"relid\":22,\"frameOverflow\":\"\"},{\"type\":\"hr\",\"cont\":\"\",\"align\":\"top\",\"row\":6,\"col\":1,\"colspan\":11,\"offsetx\":-5,\"offsety\":0,\"spaceabove\":0,\"spacebelow\":0,\"yvel\":1,\"push\":1,\"relid\":42,\"frameOverflow\":\"right\"},{\"type\":\"text\",\"cont\":\"<p><span

As part of a semester-long project in the Human-System Interaction course, six students from Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences conceived and realized an intense, immersive experience that responded to the question: What would the Bauhaus have looked like if it had been in Darmstadt?<\\\/p><p>The concept was by no means far-fetched. When the Bauhaus in Weimar was threatened with closure, there were discussions about reopening in Darmstadt; the city rejected it due to costs. Gropius had also originally designed the architecture of the famous Bauhaus Archive with the Darmstadt site in mind, though ultimately it was built in 1954 on Berlin's Landwehr Canal. With its five-fold articulated roof form, the architect makes an allusion to the five-finger tower of Mathildenh\\u00f6he. With this in mind, the students developed an impressively naturalistic simulation of Walter Gropius' Dessau Bauhaus building \\u2013 albeit with a view of the artists' colony.<\\\/p><p>\\u00a0<\\\/p><p class=\\\"_Copy_Medium\\\"><span class=\\\"_Copy_Medium\\\">History rewritten, with attention to detail<\\\/span><\\\/p><p>The students did extensive research on the historical conditions of the relocation and the planned location of the Darmstadt Bauhaus, which was right next to the old School of Arts and Crafts and within view of Mathildenh\\u00f6he. Precise measurements of the were taken of the building site with the help of drones in order to create a replica that was as close to reality as possible. Thanks to historical photos, floor plans and other documents, the students recreated the architecture, including the interior, in great detail using the virtual reality development platform Unity and animated it with the 3D software Blender.<\\\/p><p>\\u00a0<\\\/p><p><span style=\\\"font-family: SuisseIntl-Medium-WebM;\\\">Human, all too human<\\\/span><\\\/p><p>Equipped with VR glasses and a controller, visitors could explore the school building, workshops and offices across several floors. Through numerous charming details, life at the Bauhaus came alive: Designs from Johannes Itten's course in fundamentals could be examined, machines could be used, the sounds of the gramophone could be heard, documents (such as a love letter from composer Alma Mahler in Walter Gropius' desk drawer) could be read, or an experimental film by L\\u00e1szl\\u00f3 Moholy-Nagy could be viewed. In this way, the VR installation succeeded in continuing the exhibition's focus on the interpersonal, the personal in the
