In occasion of the 100th Bauhaus anniversary, the Foundation Bauhaus Dessau is intending the construction of a Bauhaus Museum in Dessau.

Task
The planned Bauhaus Museum Dessau will for the first time provide the opportunity to present to the public for the long term the outstanding collection of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation under the best possible conservation conditions. The awarding authority expects a design proposal as a result of the competition procedure which implements the desired qualities and quantities in a functional overall concept within the specified cost and time frames and positioning the Bauhaus convincingly in a contemporary manner.

The planned site for the Bauhaus Museum Dessau is located in the City Park directly in the city centre of Dessau. As co-promoter of the competition, the City of Dessau-Roßlau, is searching for plots, that integrate the Museum building within the landscape architectural situation of the City Park, while respecting the existing qualities and uses.

The spatial program of the new Bauhaus Museum covers a total of 3,500 m² whereby the exhibition area covers 2,100 m². The museum and City Park should strengthen and complement each other and enrich the location as a cultural centre.

Competition Site
The competition site covers the „competiton site museum“ with an area of 8,300 m² and the „competition site car park“ with an area of 2.650 m².

Budget
The budget for the overall measure of the new construction of the museum – types of cost 100 to 700 according to german DIN 276, and therefore including equipment costs – is a max. of around EUR 25,000,000 gross. The upper limit of the share for cost groups 300, 400 and 500 has been set at 15.5 million EUR gross.
