The legendary architecture school marks its centenary amid political and identity tensions, as the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party surges in Saxony-Anhalt. The Bauhaus Foundation in Dessau fears budget cuts and renewed attacks on its modernist legacy.


Bauhaus: “Function over form. By all means be creative. Be innovative. Be wild. But remember that what you design must, foremost, serve it’s purpose.”
Nazis: “Somehow I disagree.”
Wrong order. It’s not that culture war happens because you disagree. The culture war is the goal (usually as a diversion) and so you just invent a disagreement to make it happen. I doesn’t need to make any sense as you just disagree to disagree anyway.
