Modern Human

The exhibition "Modern Human - Modulor space origin" is the second part of the project "Modern Human - revisited / reused". The exhibition shows the 1:1 reused or rebuilt so-called "Modulor space" against the background of its origin and in the context of the exhibition "Le Corbusier.Atelier der Ideen.1887-1987" by Thilo Hilpert, which took place in Hall 8 of Messe Frankfurt am Main in 1987.

The project "Modern Human - revisited / reused" began with the first part "Modern Human - Modulor space reuse", which dealt with the rediscovery and reconstruction of the Modulor space from the individual parts that have since been stored and the installation in the BHROX bauhaus reuse. The project is part of the BHROX thematic focus "Modernity in Context", whereby the first part of the project was a programme contribution to the Triennale der Moderne 2022 (TDM2022) at the BHROX; funded by the Stiftung Deutsche Klassenlotterie Berlin. The reconstruction and installation took place in a workshop lasting several weeks, including the further preparation and reconstruction of related and still preserved picture panels, furniture and models from the exhibition in Frankfurt.

The exhibition "Modern Human - Modulor space origin" can initially be viewed as a preview at the BHROX bauhaus reuse, for one week from 31 August to 06 September 2023; prior to this, the installation process was also open to the BHROX's daily public.
