[edit] fundamental problem
Tamas, this is a very good page, thank you for your work and for contributing it. I have only one issue with it -- the title, and the references to "Bauhaus" as a short name for German architectural modernism.
Ernst May, Bruno Taut, Peter Behrens, the Deutscher Werkbund, Mendelsohn, Scharoun and a lot of other significant German-speaking architects in the 1920s responded to the same issues and possibilities as the Bauhaus. Most of that came before the founding of the Bauhaus architecture program in 1925. Walter Gropius was only one of sixteen architects invited to the Weissenhofsiedlung -- and in no way was the Stuttgart exhibition 'inspired' by Bauhaus activity.
There's a tendency to lump all this style under the well-known Bauhaus "brand name", which is inaccurate. The better name for this movement would be Neues Bauen, which is how it was called in Germany at the time. Most people know it as Bauhaus, I realize. --Lockley 23:58, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hallo Lockley, thank you for your helpfull extentions. My intention for the title "Bauhaus in Budapest" is the (may be not correct) use "Tourism Office of Budapest" as a important sight place in Budapest (see 3 external links / at External information). I can not change the title, but you can explain in the article. I think you ar the specialist in this area.
- Can you build in the article your helpfull extentions? The title is given by (maybe bad) habits. I hope, that visitors like the information in this page. Thanks Tamas Szabo 14:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
