This inaugural design festival from IIT Institute of Design (ID) and IIT College of Architecture celebrates 100 years of Bauhaus history and explores how the famed German art school found a second home in Chicago at Illinois Institute of Technology. Over two weeks of events—from exhibitions and lectures to tours and performances—Illinois Tech will explore how Bauhaus design principles came to Chicago and how design continues to serve as a catalyst for meaningful change here. Just as Chicago and Illinois Tech played leading roles in the development of twentieth-century modernism, the city and the university are at the forefront of reimagining the built urban environment for the twenty-first century.
