Rotor is a cooperative design practice that investigates the organisation of the material environment. They develop critical positions trough research and design. Besides projects in architecture and interior design, they also produce exhibitions, books, economic models and policy proposals. Rotor was founded in 2005. Today, a core of about a dozen long-term collaborators sets the agenda of the group.
The mini-symposium “Bauhaus and Functionalism” examines the reception and interpretation of the emergence of Functionalism in Czechoslovakia in the interwar period and connections with Bauhaus in Germany. The leading theorist of the modernist avant-garde Karel Teige and his teaching at the Bauhaus are ideal examples of networking between these countries.
