BAUHAUS 100: SYMMETRIES AND PROPORTIONS IN MODERN ARCHITECTURAL COMPOSITION
Vilmos Katona
The commemorative architectural issue of Symmetry: Culture and Science welcomed papers with different approaches focusing on symmetries and proportions in modern architectural composition. We expected studies either on the semiotics of the “international” architectural language, its role and metamorphosis over time, or the structural, psychological, sociological effects of the modern use of symmetry in architecture. Studies considering the impact of modern composition on architectural education were also welcome. Historical studies about the Staatliches Bauhaus, its institution, work methods, communications and human network were employed to re-introduce symmetry in a different light. Contemporary critiques and re-formularizations of Bauhaus compositional principles were appreciated as well.
