[Krystian Woznicki <krystian@snafu.de>]

>The Bauhaus Award
>
>The first International Bauhaus Award will be presented on September 16,
>2000.
>One prize will be awarded for outstanding achievements in architecture
>and urban development, a second in art and new media, while the third
>award is a special prize for academic and conceptual work. The Bauhaus
>Dessau Foundation  will be conferring the Bauhaus Award every two years
>in the future. It focuses on the themes at the center of the Bauhaus'
>work, namely city and urban design.
>
>The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation has asked more than 100 international
>designers from various backgrounds to bring forward potential candidates
>for the award. Following a pre-selection by the jury, successful
>applicants will have the opportunity to present their work at the
>Bauhaus on September 16, 2000. On this day, the final decision will be
>made.
>
>Thematic Focus: Event City
>
>The urban entertainment culture of the 21st century, the event city, is
>made up of theme worlds given over to spectacles, enjoyment, consumption
>and entertainment.. Malls, theme parks, raves and leisure centers have
>become hallmarks of big cities. Urban entertainment centers bring
>together shopping, entertainment and event under one roof and are
>celebrated around the world as successful examples for the
>revitalization of inner cities. How can architecture and art maintain
>their claim to provide guidance when our entire everyday world is
>increasingly stylized into a holistic work of art? What can architecture
>and art contribute to the design and integration of an event city? The
>Bauhaus will address these issues and others at the 2nd International
>Bauhaus Kolleg starting in September 2000.
