Architecture as backdrop and inspiration in the works of Peter Behrens and Oskar Schlemmer

The scope of the research is the relationship between architecture and the performing arts and their transformation in the works of Peter Behrens in the Darmstadt Artists’ Colony Mathildenhöhe and Oskar Schlemmer’s later Bauhaus-Bühne in Weimar and Dessau. The stage concepts were compared with the model “Haus Behrens” and “Haus am Horn”, with theoretical underpinning of the source text. The result of the study is a scheme illustrating a gradual evolution of architecture and scene arts at the beginning of the 20th century.
