Abstract
The experimental house, ‘Haus am Horn’, is a co-production of all the Bauhaus members for the first and only official Bauhaus Exhibition in Wei-mar in 1923, which marks the crucial point in the 14 years of Bauhaus’ existence, a change from mere pursuit of ‘the total work of art’ by ‘Zunft-cooperation’ to becoming more conscious of industrial demand. This remaining ‘specimen’ reflects the members’ efforts to include traditional elements, modern materials, and artistry at the same time. Despite the contemporaneous dispute over its value, this house should still be re-appreciated in representing the integral forms of two contrary destinations of the Bauhaus; toward the past and toward the future.
