Johannes Rinkenburger has examined and analyzed the contents and key concepts of this avant-garde book series along with their background and context and elaborates their application and importance for current design schools. Based on design experiments, new links and correlations are established and methods shown that reveal and apply the legacy of Bauhaus to contemporary design, accentuating its fascinating relevance.
