Farkas Molnár Project for a single-family house, Der rote Würfel (The red cube) 1923

  • Not on view

Molnár’s “Red Cube” dispensed with traditional structural elements and defined architecture as a simple geometric form
to be prefabricated in the same way as an industrial product. Shown at the first exhibition of the Bauhaus School of Art and Design held in 1923 in Weimar, the work embodied the unity of art and industry at the heart of the school’s philosophy.
