Learning from the Bauhaus

The Bredendieck Awards have been established to recognize the contributions of Hin Bredendieck to the School of Industrial Design and to underscore the direct connections between the ID Program at the Bauhaus and our program here at Georgia Tech. The Bauhaus introduced a revolutionary approach to design with a central focus on user context, iterative design development, including experimentation and prototyping with an extensive array of materials.
