Résumé anglais The A-historicism of the Bauhaus and Its Consequences
In the instruction carried out in Bauhaus, the history of architecture was never taught. This neglect had fatal consequences for modern architecture, the first of which was a break with tradition. The student of the Bauhaus would ignor, and even deny, the myths of the past, but they themselves mystified the machine, industry and the present. Adepts of modernism who did not know how to replace history with a new code, with basic principles or with an architectural language, they left the field open to modern eclecticism. Among their contemporaries, only Theo van Doesburg dealt seriously with the problem. Beginning in 1925, he formulated seventeen theses intending to stop modern architecture from becoming monumental architecture.
