Welcome to the Babhaus collection.
The collection is a curation of infinite collaborations between Henry Van Der Velde, Loie Fuller, Oskar Schlemmer, Anni Albers, Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer represented through Bauhaus Chairs, and us. Generated with AI and curated by Maddy + Erin (us) the Babhaus collection is an archive of a possible historical present and future of the Bauhaus and its design ambitions within industrialized digitization.
Human and machine intelligence has the potential to re-design objects and spaces of the past and generate an artificially alternate collection of reimagined (bauhaus) images. Present A.I. technologies can operate as synthetic imaginations of historic bauhaus principles and design ambitions to create a possible future: The Babhaus. In imagining a possible future, the past becomes altered through our understanding of its contributions to an alternate present.
This website is a culmination of our architecture thesis at Syracuse University School of Architecture 2023.
Special thanks to our advisory group and our advisors Mark Linder and Emily Pellicano.

(AI)DANCE- A COLLECTION OF MOVEMENTS, PATTERNS, AND STYLES IN HUMAN OR ANIMAL MOTION.
ENGINEERING - DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTING PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS.
(AI)ENGINEERING - A PROCESS OF DESIGNING, BUILDING, AND IMPROVING SYSTEMS, PRODUCTS, OR PROCESSES TO MEET CERTAIN GOALS AND REQUIREMENTS.
FIGURE - AN EMBODIED REPRESENTATION OR MANIFESTATION, TYPICALLY CHARACTERIZED BY ITS PHYSICALITY OR APPEARANCE.
(AI)FIGURE - REPRESENTING FORM AND SHAPE.
GREMLIN - AESTHETIC THINGS THAT POSE AS THE “ORIGINAL” THROUGH THE DILUTION OF ITS INTENDED FUNCTION AND MATERIAL.
(AI)GREMLIN - A MISCHIEVOUS AND OFTEN TROUBLESOME MYTHICAL CREATURE KNOWN FOR ITS PLAYFUL AND SOMETIMES MALICIOUS BEHAVIOR.
INTELLIGENCE- THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE AND REMEMBER FACTS.
(AI)INTELLIGENCE- THE CAPACITY FOR LEARNING, REASONING, PROBLEM-SOLVING, AND UNDERSTANDING.
IMAGINATION - IMAGINATION REFERS TO THE ABILITY OF A HUMAN MIND TO FORM IMAGES, IDEAS, OR CONCEPTS THAT ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY PRESENT TO THE SENSES. IT INVOLVES CREATING SOMETHING NEW OR ORIGINAL THROUGH MENTAL IMAGERY, AND IT IS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF CREATIVITY, INNOVATION, AND PROBLEM-SOLVING.
(AI)IMAGINATION - TO PROCESS DATA AND MAKE PREDICTIONS BASED ON DATA. TO GENERATE NEW OUTPUTS AS A RESULT OF ALGORITHMS AND MATHEMATICAL MODELS THAT HAVE BEEN TRAINED ON LARGE DATASETS.
KNOWLEDGE -THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE ONE’S INTELLIGENCE THROUGH EXPERIENCE.
(AI)KNOWLEDGE -FAMILIARITY, UNDERSTANDING, AND AWARENESS ACQUIRED THROUGH LEARNING, EXPERIENCE, OR STUDY.
OBJECT - THINGS THAT SERVE A SPECIFIC PURPOSE: A KETTLE TO HOLD LIQUID, OR A CHAIR TO SIT ON. THE FORM OF THE OBJECT REFLECTS THIS PURPOSE WHILE POTENTIALLY CONTRIBUTING SOME AESTHETIC VALUE.
(AI)OBJECT - A TANGIBLE OR VISIBLE ENTITY THAT CAN BE PERCEIVED OR INTERACTED WITH, TYPICALLY HAVING PHYSICAL FORM AND OCCUPYING SPACE.
TECHNOLOGY - A TOOL THAT HELPS DO SOMETHING BEYOND ONE’S ORIGINAL CAPABILITIES.
(AI)TECHNOLOGY - THE APPLICATION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS TO CREATE, MODIFY, AND UTILIZE SYSTEMS, PROCESSES, AND ARTIFACTS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND IMPROVE HUMAN LIFE.
TEXTILE - COMPOSED OF THREADS THAT ARE TWISTED, KNOTTED, WOVEN, OR ARRANGED IN RELATION TO EACH OTHER TO CREATE A TACTILE EXPERIENCE.
(AI)TEXTILE - A TYPE OF MATERIAL THAT IS MADE FROM INTERLACING FIBERS, SUCH AS COTTON, WOOL, OR SILK, TO FORM A FABRIC.
THEATER - COLLABORATIVE FORM OF A LIVE PERFORMING ARTS PRODUCTION
(AI)THEATER - THEATER REFERS TO A FORM OF ART AND ENTERTAINMENT THAT INVOLVES THE PERFORMANCE OF LIVE ACTORS ON A STAGE, PRESENTING STORIES, CHARACTERS, AND EMOTIONS THROUGH SCRIPTED OR IMPROVISED DIALOGUE, MUSIC, DANCE, AND VARIOUS THEATRICAL TECHNIQUES.
(AI)THINKING - MENTAL PROCESS OF COGNITION AND REFLECTION.
THINKING - A CHOREOGRAPHY OF SPATIAL APPROACHES.
