This course uses the Bauhaus as a lens to examine the broader historical trajectory from the 20th century to the present, ultimately returning to our own practice to better understand the school and its lasting impact. It shifts between viewing the Bauhaus from the outside in and observing the world through its perspective. The course emphasizes the relationship between behaviors, objects, and their respective eras, spanning from the dawn of industrial consumer society to our current hyper-consumerist age. In doing so, we will cultivate a multidisciplinary, open, and relational perspective—perhaps the Bauhaus’s most significant contribution to our time.

Isolation viewed from different perspectives and disciplines: this is the central theme of the "Isolated Dialogues" series, organized by the Universidad Finis Terrae School of Architecture, which takes place every Wednesday. Participants include artists, architects, designers, musicians, scientists, writers, journalists, and others, both Chilean and international.
