Design lecture: The White City: conservation of the Bauhaus architecture

Speaker: Dr. Micha Gross, Director, The Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv, Israel

The Bauhaus design ethos was to create designs integrated with technology through a balance of functions and aesthetic. This Design Week event consists of an exhibition, a documentary film, and three thematic design lectures to showcase its influence to today and future. We hope through this Bauhaus design showcase would harness your aspiration to integrate technology with design for societal and environmental good.

The event is framed in a tripartite structure:

To explain the global influence and evolution of the Bauhaus ethos, our project team has travelled to Dessau, Berlin, Frankfurt and Kronberg in Germany, Tel Aviv in Israel as well as local Hong Kong to study and document, film and photograph many notable Bauhaus design stories.

Abstract

Our cities have never been busier. More congestion and pollution demand us to rethink mobility. Car companies are making huge strides in developing autonomous vehicles. What does it take for autonomous driving to become reality? How can these innovations make cities like Hong Kong cleaner and safer places to live? Yutaka Sanada, Nissan’s head of Asia & Oceania, will provide a perspective on how mobility advancements not only transform the way we drive, but also the way we live.
