Abstracts

EN

Robin Rehm’s book entitled Das Bauhausgebäude in Dessau. Die ästhetischen Kategorien Zweck, Form, Inhalt (Gebrüder Mann Verlag, Berlin 2005) is a very interesting analysis of the Bauhaus building in Dessau and indicates a new methodological approach to interpretation of architecture in the circle of Modernism. The main idea was to present and analyse aesthetic values of the edifice. The basis were the three categories, thoroughly and multisidedly presented in three parts of the book: purpose (Zweck) – though not understood as a function, form (Form) and meaning (Inhalt). It is an excellent example of an architecture analysis arranged according to problems from the philosophical- and-aesthetic point of view, rarely taken in classical, monographic approaches to history of architecture. The book not only contibutes to new interpretation of the Bauhaus building itself and Walter Gropius’s oeuvre but it is also an excellent handbook that helps how to teach “reading architecure” in its varied aesthetic-and-formal contexts.
