14-26/08/2007 - International Summer School of Architecture (Γερμανία)

The International Summer School is organized by the Berlin Chamber of Crafts and held on its premises located in the former School of the Federation of German Trade Unions (ADGB) in Bernau bei Berlin. An outstanding monument to Bauhaus architecture, the building serves as the site for the one-week courses and related events, while also providing a cohesive context.

The Bauhaus’s approach to transcending the boundaries between craft, art, and scholarly research is our guiding principle. Following the resounding success of last year’s program attended by participants from twelve countries and three continents, we are now ready for the Summer School’s second edition.

Anyone can participate and apply for the International Summer School. Grants are available only for students and young artists. For 2017, the Summer School is able to offer thirty-two grants in the amount of 330.00 EUR each. The grants are intended to provide financial support primarily to students and young artists.

Eleven renowned international artists, designers, architects, and curators will work together with you in one-week courses to explore the intersections between creativity, craftsmanship, and artistic freedom.

This year, in addition to eight one-week courses, the Summer School is offering for the first time a daily “Preliminary Course” open to all participants, instructors, and the general public. American paper artist Eric Gjerde has developed a daily one-hour class for us based on the educational concepts of the famous Bauhaus teacher Josef Albers. Taking the principle of cooperation to heart, the Course Program aspires to expand on the functionality-based approach of the Bauhaus, translating and updating it for today’s digital era.
