The eastern German city of Dessau marked the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus school of design Sunday with the opening of a new museum featuring a collection of exhibits and objects that tie in with the movement’s iconic buildings.
The city was the school’s second home after it moved from Weimar, and the new museum building was designed by Barcelona’s addenda architects to interface with the city and nature.
Described as a “soaring concrete block enveloped in glass” in the heart of Dessau, “depending on the light, the surroundings are reflected more or less strongly in the glass facade or enable views through the building,’’ the museum said.

Rather than focusing on iconic designs and masters, the museum said the emphasis instead is the school and the students.
Bauhaus was founded in Weimar in 1919 under architect Walter Gropius as Germany grappled with its political future after World War I.
Once the Bauhaus school fell afoul of right-leaning local authorities in Weimar, who had long been suspicious of its unconventional students and teachers, its funding was slashed in 1925. That forced it to move northeast to Dessau, where the iconic glass-fronted Bauhaus headquarters and a residential estate with 90 apartments were built.

Dessau’s Nazi-dominated council forced the Bauhaus to close in 1932, and an attempt to keep it going in Berlin lasted only a few months.

德紹是包浩斯學院搬離威瑪後的第二個落腳處,新博物館的建築連結了城市與自然,是由西班牙巴塞隆那的Addenda Architects建築師事務所設計。
博物館位於德紹市中心,其建築被形容為「有玻璃外殼的高聳混凝土砌塊」;館方表示,「隨著光線的變化,建築周遭的景象或強或弱地反映在玻璃帷幕牆上,有時又讓人可從外面看進建築內部」。
包浩斯的經典設計與大師並非該館之重點,它所聚焦的是包浩斯學院及學生。
一九一九年,第一次世界大戰後的德國正陷入政治權力鬥爭,包浩斯此時在建築師華特‧葛羅培斯的領導下,創校於威瑪。
包浩斯學院師生不符傳統的作風,早就被右傾的威瑪政府視為眼中釘,一九二五年威瑪政府在與包浩斯發生衝突後,便砍了包浩斯的經費。於是包浩斯被迫遷校,往東北搬到德紹,在那裡蓋出包浩斯的經典建築──外層為玻璃帷幕的包浩斯校舍,以及有九十戶的住宅區。
由納粹主導的德紹市議會,迫使包浩斯在一九三二年關閉;包浩斯之後嘗試在柏林復校,但僅僅維持了數個月。

Chinese startup DeepSeek’s launch of its latest AI models, which it says are on a par or better than industry-leading models in the US at a fraction of the cost, is threatening to upset the technology world order. The company has attracted attention in global AI circles after writing in a paper last month that the training of DeepSeek-V3 required less than US$6 million worth of computing power from Nvidia H800 chips. DeepSeek’s AI Assistant, powered by DeepSeek-V3, has overtaken rival ChatGPT to become the top-rated free application available on Apple’s App Store in the US. This has raised doubts about the reasoning

Recently, the Iraq parliament’s preliminary approval of a controversial proposal to drastically lower the legal marriage age for girls from 18 to nine has sparked widespread concern. This move has drawn strong reactions both domestically and internationally, as many worry it will exacerbate child marriage issues and severely infringe upon women’s rights. At the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1994, Iraq explicitly prohibited the legalization of child marriage. Currently, the legal marriage age for both men and women is 18, although women can marry at 15 with a guardian’s consent. The newly proposed amendment to the Personal
The crimson hue of theater seats is a long-standing tradition that has persisted through centuries and across continents.
