Venue and Journey

The Young Bauhaus Research Conference 2018 [dis]solving boundaries takes place in the historical saloon Oberlichtsaal at the top floor of the main building of the Bauhaus University Weimar.

The saloon was used as studio and exhibition space before and during the Bauhaus era. The entire building was designed by the architect and designer Henry Van de Velde and was built between 1904 und 1911 for the Großherzoglich-sächsische Kunstschule Weimar which was founded in 1980. Walter Grophius combined the Art School (Kunstschule) and the former School of Applied Arts (Kunstgewerbeschule) to the Staatlichen Bauhaus Weimar in 1919, which was based until 1925 in this building. In 1923 the building became a central venue for the famous Bauhaus exhibition. Today it belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
