THE BAUHAUS IDEAL THEN AND NOW: AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO MODERN DESIGN
Book ID/图书代码： 12580008B28383
English Summary/英文概要： This is an enormously readable history of modernist design, enhanced by the author’s b/w drawings that both illustrate and elucidate the text. It is a book meant for lay readers and examines its subject with the kind of wit and insight found in John Berger’s Ways of Seeing and Edward E. Tufte’s Envisioning
The Bauhaus Ideal is both a picture book and a guidebook to the fascinating and enduring legacy of modernist design, and to the continuing influence of Bauhaus on interior design—not just on architecture, but also on furniture, glassware, tableware, and kitchen utensils: the whole range of domestic arts
Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Buckminster Fuller, Charles and Ray Eames, and others were part of a movement to make sense of design in the modern world. Their experiments—both successes and failures—eloquently demonstrate what design can accomplish. “Design” itself was an invention of the Bauhaus era to combine usefulness, beauty, and economy into a reasonable whole.
his unique volume introduces modern design principles and examines them from an historically critical perspective. It concludes with some ideas for melding modern solemnity with postmodern irony. And in each phase the illustrations speak as eloquently as the text—the whole serves as a beautifully illustrated design memo.

2009設計類大書
包浩斯–跨時代的設計主義
影響全球當代藝術、建築及設計大師理念的設計潮流 包浩斯學院(德文：Staatliches Bauhaus， 1919年至1933年)，通常簡稱包浩斯(Bauhaus)，是一所德國的藝術和建築學校，講授並發展設計教育。Bauhaus是德文裡Bau-Haus組成（Bau建築，動詞bauen為建造之意; Haus為名詞，房屋之意），由建築師沃爾特·格羅佩斯（Walter Gropius，1883年 - 1969年）在1919年時創立於德國威瑪（Weimar）。
由於包浩斯學校對於現代建築學的深遠影響，今日的包浩斯早已不單是指學校，而是其倡導的建築流派或風格的統稱，注重建築造型與實用機能合而為一。包浩斯的影響遠不止於建築領域，對於工業設計、現代戲劇、現代美術等的發展也都具有深刻的影響。
從巴洛克、洛可可與歌德潮流對文化的衝擊至今，包浩斯的當代設計對現代而言更加具有突破性和代表性。由獲獎製片人兼設計家的作者William Smock闡述:包浩斯的設計主義如何對當代藝術，不論在設計、建築方面所造成的熱潮。諸如英國著名藝評家John Berger所寫的《Ways of Seeing》及Edward R. Tufte寫的《Envisioning Information》一書中說明顏色與資訊的相互關聯，包浩斯的理念更影響許多藝術及設計大師。
本書不但保留了當代設計的原始風貌，它更像是一本手冊指南，針對包浩斯的理念，不論是在建築、室內設計、生活用品，包含傢俱、玻璃手工藝品、餐具設計等等，隨處可見其對其藝術作品的影響。包浩斯的的確確重新定義什麼是“設計”。(CL)
