Abstract

The Bauhaus project assumed the complementarity of various channels for a person to obtain aesthetic information in real social life. The initiators and the actors of this unprecedented project paid great attention to the conjugation of various streams of aesthetic information in real aesthetic reactions, closely studied the processes of emotional conjugation of various streams of aesthetic information in the human inner world that is theoretically called synaesthesia. That is why Bauhaus from the very beginning and to the end had the character of a project related to holistic understanding of the aesthetic world of a human person and why this institution developed both the program of relevant researches in this field and the principles education for universal designers of the optimal environment of human existence. The great cultural project of Bauhaus interrupted by the barbaric Nazi power was continued in unfortunately divided activities of its initiators and students outside the institution and Germany. Because of this divided character it’s difficult to observe this influence with the first glance. This article presents an attempt of a brief but systematic reconstruction of the theoretical and practical heritage of this school and some of its external influences.
